Child PR Card Renewal

[MaroS]

HI I am applying for my daughter’s PR Card Renewal as it is expiring on May 27th. and I have three questions if you can kindly answer them :

1- In the PR Card Renewal application, in the consent part it ask to put a tick in the square beside the question asking if I had included the Notice of Assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency within the last two years.
My question is :
My daughter is 9 years old and never had her own income before, so what do I need to do about that question ? Do I need to apply for taxes for her knowing that she doesn’t have income.

3- After submitting the PR Card Renewal Application and get all the steps done, what if I want to travel back home to spend a vacation with my family during summer while my daughter’s Application is still in process and her PR Card would be expired by then, Is she going to be eligible to get a PR Travel Document ? Does she has to be already outside Canada to apply fro PR Travel Document or Can she get it from Canada before she travels ?

3- Are people answering our questions officially working for Immigration Canada or just normal people telling their own opinion.

Thank you so much for you help
Thank you

Regarding your question,

1- In the PR Card Renewal application, in the consent part it ask to put a tick in the square beside the question asking if I had included the Notice of Assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency within the last two years.

My daughter is 9 years old and never had her own income before, so what do I need to do about that question ? Do I need to apply for taxes for her knowing that she doesn’t have income.

From some information we have previously received from the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Call Centre, in some cases, as students who may not file taxes, they should provide copies of official school records from their school within the past five (5) years. This is to prove that she was in Canada during this time. This is also listed as a requirement in the application form.

Here is an excerpt,

for all school-aged children, school records (such as report cards) verifying attendance within the past five (5) years.

However, we strongly suggest that you contact the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Call Centre to confirm this information and for information specific to your daughter’s application.

Regarding your other question,

3- After submitting the PR Card Renewal Application and get all the steps done, what if I want to travel back home to spend a vacation with my family during summer while my daughter’s Application is still in process and her PR Card would be expired by then, Is she going to be eligible to get a PR Travel Document ?

You can find some information on the CIC website in the I need to leave Canada and I do not have a permanent resident card. Can I later return to Canada without a PR card? section.

Here is an excerpt,

I need to leave Canada and I do not have a permanent resident card. Can I later return to Canada without a PR card?

Canada’s entry requirements are changing

Permanent residents (PR) of Canada must carry and present their valid PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) when boarding a flight to Canada, or travelling to Canada on any other commercial carrier. If you do not carry your PR card or PRTD, you may not be able to board your flight, train, bus or boat to Canada.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your PR card is still valid when you return from travel outside Canada, and to apply for a new PR card when your current card expires.

Returning by private vehicle

There are other documents you can use to enter the country.

When you return to Canada, apply for a PR card if you plan to travel outside Canada again.

Some examples of private vehicles include, but are not limited to: a car, truck, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle that you own, borrow, or rent, and that is not available for public use.

Returning by commercial vehicle: airplane, bus, train, or boat]

You must apply for a permanent resident travel document. Otherwise you may not be able to travel to Canada.

You can apply for a PR card when you return to Canada.

In terms of applying for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD), she will have to apply for the Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) at the nearest Canadian Visa Office. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with a definitive response regarding whether or not she when and if she will get a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD).

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
