week yakobi: Yakobi, 56, went to Moscow in July, with an expired permanent residency card, which is permissible when the traveller applies for a special travel document, according to CTV. But, when she tried to fly back to Toronto in August, she was told that the document had been denied, and that her residency had been revoked. Julia Yakobi, a permanent Canadian resident, said the Canadian government decision to revoke her status last month, has left her stranded in Moscow. Officials said it was because she had only spent 65 days in Canada over the past five years. However, last week Yakobi and her daughters Hannah and Ada told CTV Toronto that was an error -- she has been in Canada for more than 1,200 days in that period. In order to maintain their status, permanent residents must be in the country at least 730 days in that period.
