PR renewal with RO replied to CIC in past

[joss]

Hi ,
My PR card was expired in 2017. Both me and my wife came to Canada in May 2017. We were not reported. Now I have completed 750 days and my wife completed 735 days. We never travelled outside Canada in these two years. In 2017 we sponsered our son who is 5 years old . Then we got residency obligation questionnaire. It was replied back with valid reasons and PR was issued to our son. Now my question is . Does it make any difference if we both me and wife apply separately. I need to travel in June .is it ok to send employment letter and tax documents for the past two years as proof of residency to avoid delay in PR process.

Highly appreciate quick response..

Side note: Quick responses here can take up to a day or so.

It appears that when you sponsored your child's PR you were subject to a RO determination and, in effect, the breach of RO was waived on H&C grounds. Of course I am not sure of this, but that is how it appears.

So you probably could have made the PR card application any time. That is of course history, now, but if indeed you were given an H&C pass, you should be comfortable making the PR card application as soon as practical.

It is not likely including additional documents will accelerate the processing times. But . . . there is no penalty for including extra documents. Keep it to a few and keep them SIMPLE.

It is more likely that the previous H&C pass (assuming that is what happened) will facilitate routine processing, which is about as fast as you can expect. But there is a serious risk you will not be getting a new card by June, now . . . processing times have come down a lot recently, so it may depend on by when in June you need a new card . . . last I looked, IRCC processing time interface is down, but you should be able to check the IRCC website later to see current processing times for PRC applications.

If the travel is for business, employment, a family emergency, you may be able to obtain urgent processing. See the website for instructions AND for IRCC's description of what qualifies for urgent processing.

I do not know if submitting concurrent applications or totally separate applications makes a difference. Each PR needs to make his or her own application anyway.
