Suppose a person has been granted permanent residence in Canada. Further suppose residency was granted partly on the basis of the person's academic degree. Now suppose the degree is revoked by the university that issued it. (The university is not in Canada.) Will Canada revoke the person's permanent residence?

    Suppose the revocation was for academic fraud. Further suppose it was a medical degree. Canada may let you stay... In jail. But seriously, there are consequences beyond your residence for this.

  • I doubt they will ask for additional documentation after the permanent residence status has already been granted -- but try to find out. That's the key, I think. Jan 18, 2018 at 20:49

Is it conditional or unconditional permanent residence ?

If conditional, and the condition is your degree, then yes they can take it away.

Assuming it's unconditional permanent residence, they can not take it away unless they think that you committed fraud to get the visa. I guess it kind of comes down to the way you lost the degree.
