Hi All,
My case is a little complicated. I am PR since 2009 and I did renew it once in 2015. During that renewal, I used the option of Employed for Canadian employer but working overseas (US) which I was and I had all my pay stubs\T4\Notice of assessments during this renewal I was asked to show the RO via CIC which I did and then later they asked me to apply for PRTD as I was not in the country which I did and I got the approval as well. I worked for that Employer until Feb 2017 and after that, I changed my employer currently I am still employed in Canada and still paying Taxes in Canada but I mostly now reside in the US working remotely taking care of my ailing mother she is close to 70 with 40 years of diabetic and she is not doing well at all so I am with her, and every time I Travel to Canada I bring her with me (She is having US Green Card) Anyway I also have physical days of approx 350-375 in Canada and rest is from my previous Canadian employer who I use to work for from the US those days are approx 450.
The current situation is my PR card expired 2 days ago (1st august) I was supposed to travel to Canada last week itself before the expiry but my mother fell down in the bathroom and I had to take her to ER and I just couldn't travel or I would say I couldn't leave her alone in that state. Anyway I spoke to a lawyer and he said its better not to apply PRTD and just travel to Canada with Expired PR Card you will be grilled on the border and he said he can help me with the paperwork like mainly H&C and I can show it to CBSA officer on the port and get entry. I am kind of double-minded with that option. So what you guys suggest should I go ahead and cross the border with Expired PR Card or apply for PRTD. And the only thing I am worried about is if for some reason my PRTD is denied can I still enter into Canada and apply for the appeal? I know I have 60 days to appeal but not sure if I can travel back to Canada with denied PRTD and expired PR card. I at times feel I should go ahead and apply for the PRTD and wait for the response but the issue is I am worried if they start requesting more information about my previous employment as I no longer work for them it would be very difficult to provide them with the details, but I do have the letter of backdated from them stating I was working from the US for a Canadian employer, that is a big employer which is traded on NASDAQ. And on another hand, I think at times they already know I was working in US for Canadian employer as one time CBSA asked me at the border too that you still working in the US for Canadian employer I said yes, and based on that I think my PRTD should sail through as CIC already knows much of my US-Canada history.
Please advise what is the best option I am very tensed and stressed out don't want to lose my PR.
