Hi,
I am in the process of applying for a PRTD as suggested in the forums here earlier. I have filled the first section of 14 questions,which are my personal details and my questions are regarding the second section i.e. residency obligation sections. I got my PR last year with a validity of 1 year ending on 03/13/2015, and I landed in Toronto on 02/06/2015 to complete the landing formalities and returned to my home country due to personal reasons on 02/20/2015.
I still have 4years 3 months left to satisfy my residency obligation, my questions here is should I just enter the information as stated below with appropriate proof’s or provide H&C reasons as well? My assumption is H&C reasons are needed only when I am sure that I don’t meet the residency obligation and/or have lost my PR status and want the visa officer to consider my case on H&C grounds. Since I have been a permanent resident for less than five (5) years, I can satisfy the residency obligation criteria of 730 days from the remaining 4 years left and don’t think I need to take support of H&C. Please advise.
Here are the details entered in the application form:-
#15, Time spent: I have entered the dates as per my passport stamping which is a total of 15 days along with the residing address. I am sending my passport along, which serves as the proof for the duration I stayed.
#16, Accompanying a Canadian citizen or permanent resident outside Canada: My option is ‘NO’
#17, Employment outside Canada: My option in ‘NO’
#18, Humanitarian and compassionate grounds: Not entered anything as yet.
I am bit worried as the checklist IMM5627E classifies only the supporting documents for the above three questions as a proof to meet residency obligation. If i don’t furnish the H&C grounds,i am assuming I have nothing in my case for the visa officer to consider. Will COPR be the only document that I sent with my application in my case? I fear that the visa officer may reject my application for want of proof for the questions above. From what I have filled, will it satisfy the requirements to have my application approved? Is satisfying one of the above questions a mandate to have the application approved or simply based on the duration I have the residency obligation will be met?
Thank you for looking into my question, your advise is much appreciated.
Regards,
Syed
