Maintaining status is an ongoing responsibility. Address changes, employment changes, and travel all interact with your immigration record.
Records to keep permanently
Immigration cases can reference documents from years earlier. Build one secure archive and never discard anything.
- Entry records and passport stamps
- Approval notices and receipt numbers
- Employment authorisation and sponsorship letters
- Tax filings for every year of residence
Before you travel
Re-entry depends on valid documentation and, in some categories, on a current visa stamp rather than only an approval notice. Verify requirements well before booking.
