PRTD - Do I have a chance?

[Epicmx]

Hey guys, Long story short, I lived in Canada for 5 years when I was a kid, I left Canada when I was 15 years old cause my mom did not want to live there anymore, I had no choice, Im an adult now and would like to apply for a PRTD under Compassionate & Humanitarian grounds, Ive been told that I need to provide proof that I actually lived there or had my residence status Card, All of which I have no proof of whatsoever.

I have nothing that proves I was in Canada or was a resident, Is there a way to get my residence back? My mom wanted to apply but she found a form where it asked you for your PR card's number and we dont have it anymore and without that it wouldnt let you continue with the process.

I really need help with this if anyone is interested, I may be able to pay a cheap fee if anyone helps me with this.

Thanks a lot.

First question would be how old are you now? That will make a significant difference in your chances.

Edit: There should be no one on this forum offering services for a fee......you need to be a licensed immigration consultant or lawyer for that....

I am 25 years old now, I know Im a bit late but My grandmother needed someone to take care of her cause she was very sick, She passed away a couple months ago and I want to go back now, Even if my chances a almost none I still want to take the risk

Chances are very low given your age - but you might as well try. I would apply based on the fact you were removed from Canada as a minor and now want to return. I'm not sure CIC will give weight to the argument that you had to take care of your grandmother unless you were her only remaining living relative in the country.

H&C cases are sometimes unpredictable, so as mentioned you should certainly try and see what happens even though you may not seem to have good odds. You will need to submit ample evidence of the reason you stayed in home country, so your grandmother's medical records, doctors notes, any specific reason only you could care for her, etc etc.

Does your mom not have anything related to your PR status? i.e. no COPR document, or any old correspondence with CIC?

Not sure what else you can use for PR TD app. Perhaps you can try applying for Verification of Status. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/certcopy.asp

Do you still have the passport you used to immigrate to Canada? In that passport there will be your Permanent Resident visa from Canada. The document number will be something like T00000000 That document number is the same number on your Record of Landing. (Which I'm guessing you don't have.) You can use that number in the box where it asks for your immigration document number. Also add a cover letter saying you have lost your documents. You can add a photocopy of your Permanent Resident visa as some sort of proof. They should able to look up the rest in their systems.

Another option you have, and I am just pointing it out.

Apply for the Verification of Status as Rob_To mentioned. This document can serve as proof of your PR status once in Canada.

Enter Canada through its land border with the U.S. You don't need a PRTD this way. If you are interested in taking this route over a PRTD let me know so I can elaborate a bit more on how things would work at the land border.

In your particular situation I believe this may be more successful than a PRTD application. (Though neither are a guaranteed way to retain your PR status.)
