Hi all,
So I got my PR in Aug 2020 and it is valid till Sep 2025. I spent 1 year 2 months (Aug 2020 to Oct 2021) in Canada and then moved back due to family health problems (covid etc) and my own mental health issues. I came back recently (July 2024). So I have 10 months to complete the two years required out of five to maintain the PR status, which I will be completing in May end 2025 (three months prior to my PR card expiration date).
Thereafter, I will apply for PR card renewal. I did share my plan to be abroad and tentative return timeline and subsequent eligibility with IRCC's twitter support handle back in 2021 prior to leaving and they confirmed the same (thing mentioned on their website about two years not being continuous etc).
I just wanted to cross check with the members here. Am I on the right track?
Also, what all documents will I need to submit for PR card renewal? I do have the tax returns for 20-21 and 21-22. I didn’t work for the time I was away. I also have the bank statements and paystubs for my address from 2020 to 2021 (the time I was in Canada earlier).
Thanks!
