This is a really old thread but has anyone been in the same situation and applied for a PRTD and just recently become a permanent resident and has left Canada just with an ECORP. Did they ask more documents to prove RO since you just became a resident. I just got my ECORP Nov 14, I have to leave canada and go back to my home country and will be returning in 2 months to resume my residency. Im hesitant to leave and apply for this PRTD not being able to provide the documents they are requesting or they will see I just become a PR.

Your best option is actually to have someone send you your PR card if you have family remaining in Canada

I was thinking that. Because really they just mail it to the address I put in the portal and there's nothing else I need to do once I receive it dont have to confirm with them or sign or whatever or do I?

They send out PR cards with Canada Post regular mail.

Hello, I have to apply for a new PR card due to name change. I have only been a PR for 1 year at this point. In Appendix A - Residency obligations it says "if you have been a PR for less than 5 years you must show that you WILL be able to meet your minimum of physical presence of 730 days of physical presence of 5 years of the date you became a permanent resident". How do I do that? I live and work in Canada full-time and I have absolutely no intentions of being outside of Canada except for the occasional short vacation/family visit, but how do I prove that to IRCC? jiofi.local.html tplinklogin

were you able to get a new PR card with your situation? I am in a similar situation. I have been PR for just 1 year and I need to apply for a PR card since I lost it.

You are fine to apply for a new PR card if you lost it as long as you are inside Canada.
Since you've only been PR for 1 year, you "will be able to meet" RO. So you will not have any issue apply for a new replacement card.

Just read the instructions and apply for a replacement.

Since you have not been out of Canada for more than 1095 days (a mathematical impossibility since you've only been a PR for one year), you are still in compliance.

This is clear on the form because they ask if you've been out of Canada more than 1095 days, and your travel history will show that you've not.
