Don't think so. Even if you have been granted Canadian PR, you may still wish to not live in that country. It is your choice!

1. No thats not correct as u can dual citizenship and that does not make any difference to your UK visa applications.
2. If you read the PSW form it asks you if you hold any other nationalities or not and thats it nothing else.
3. U can always ring HO if u still in doubt.

PR is not citizenship, u'll lose the PR if u read the CIC website...

1. R u sure about that as my sister is a Canadian PR (she never applied for the Canadian passport) and she got her Pakistani passport as well.
2. Her kids got Canadian Passports plus Pakistani Passports.
3. So i do not understand u point.

"Keeping your permanent resident status

Your permanent resident status allows you to live in Canada, but there is also a time limit on how long you can live outside the country. To keep your status as a permanent resident, you must live in Canada for at least two years within a five-year period."

1. Ok in this case yes u r rite but i thought that u meant, u can not have dual citizenship at all thnx for clearning the confusion of u post.

Tier 1 (PSW) Entry Clearance
1. Having a Canadian PR endorsement should not affect a Tier 1 (PSW) EC application as a PSW visa is a fixed 2 leave to enter / remain that does not lead to or contribute towards residential qualifying period for settlement in the UK.
2. Just as the UK government cannot demand any person in UK with ILR to acquire British nationality or renounce nationality of another country, it cannot also demand that any applicant wishing to enter UK give up residency of/in another country.

Canadian PR
Whether or not a Canadian PR holder wishes to maintain his PR status is the individual's choice, just like it is his own choice to remain a PR or acquire Canadian citizenship (as and when is eligible to do so).

As the OP has mentioned, he received his Canadian PR six months ago, wich leaves 18 months for him to enter Canada so that he can then live there for 3 years in order to maintian his Canadian PR status. I OP enters UK on any long term resident visa (e.g.- PSW), nothing stop him from leaving UK for Canada near the 18 month time limit that's available to him or from continuing to live in the UK and voluntarily giving up his Canadian PR! Bottomline - his choice!!!

Hope this helps.

thanks guys for ur detailed help,
what i understand is:

1. canadian PR is not a citizenship itself. so in the application form i can write that i dont have any other citizenship.

2. having that PR ,i can apply for PSW .

3. i can not live outside CAnada, more then two years to keep PR alive.

4. but i can enter and leave uk as many time as i wish with in 2 years of PSW.

plz correct if im wrong
thanks guys for ur help.

Yes for all,
UK has not control over Canada Visa, all they know is about their own Visa, and they cannot validate/invalidate the Visa.
If you merit PSW, they gave it to you. You are not canadian
