travel documents: It says she applied for a travel document on Aug. 8 because her permanent residency card expired in December, according to Globe and Mail. Based on the documentation she provided with her application and the information on file, the officer determined that she did not meet the residency requirement, the ministry said in an email, stating that Yakobi had only been in Canada for 65 days in the last five years. The ministry says Yakobi became a permanent resident in 2003 and has been issued two permanent residency cards and three travel documents since. The ministry said the officer considered Yakobi documented dates of entry and exit, noting that her last documented entry to Canada was in June 2013, as well as an income tax slip it said did not support her claim to have worked full-time in Canada. The date of entry is in 2013, and the date of her exit was July 25, 2016, when she left for Moscow. One of Yakobi daughters, Nargis Hannah Yakobi, said the ministry own information supports her mother stance. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
