How about if your outside Canada and you don't have a valid TRV to bring you back? How do you answer the question "When do you estimate to come back?"IRCC will know when and where someone enters the country, and when and where they leave the country by land and air through CBSA who can access biographic entry information on all travellers (including Canadian citizens). In the TR to PR Pathway, temporary policies are in place to ensure you cannot be denied PR just for being out of country. IRCC recognizes the processing has taken longer than expected & that not everyone has the resources or support to stay in Canada while waiting. If you get the PR email asking you several questions including whether or not you are in Canada, tell the truth — do not risk being caught in a lie. Best wishes!
