Applying for PR travel document in Delhi

[Immigrant84]

I became a PR on June 21, 2012. Got a letter from CIC requesting for new photographs so that the PR Card could be issued. Sent the new photographs in September. Card got mailed in Oct, got lost in the mail. I sent a solemn declaration in December. Now it will take 63 days plus the time in the mail for my new card.
I need to travel to India for a wedding. I would have to apply for a PR Travel document there. I'm worried as I have no clue what would happen. I have a full time job here, I work for Canada's best chef, Susur Lee.
What are the basis on what the travel document is issued?
Should I cancel my trip?

You are a newly landed immigrant. You'll have no issues having a travel document issued. They only refuse travel documents if someone hasn't fulfilled their PR residency obligation. However your PR status is so new that this isn't a concern / issue for you.

Mmmmm.... Susur Lee. That must be a cool job. I have been to Lee's a couple of times - fantastic.

Hey thanks for your response!
I dunno, I was just reading the posts on this site about people having all kinds of issues with the travel document that's why I got a little weary.
It's awesome you went to Lee. Chef Lee opened up a new restaurant in September this year. It's called "Bent" (Dundas & Markham, one block west of dundas and bathurst). That's where I work.
It's the 2nd best new restaurant in Toronto according to 'Now Toronto'. You should come visit. The food is just great.

I will have to check out Bent. Thanks for the suggestion!

I really don't think you should worry. To the best of my knowledge, the people who are having problems with travel documents are those who have expired PR cards, are applying for travel documents so that they can return to Canada - and have run into problems because CIC doesn't think they meet the residency requirement (living in Canada two out of the last five years).

Your situation is completely different. You've had your PR status for only six months. You still have tons of time to meet the residency requirement and CIC will easily issue you a travel document.

Hopefully others will comment and confirm what I've said.

Immigration and Refugee Protection Act:

28. (1) A permanent resident must comply with a residency obligation with respect to every five-year period.

(2) The following provisions govern the residency obligation under subsection (1):

(b) it is sufficient for a permanent resident to demonstrate at examination

(i) if they have been a permanent resident for less than five years, that they will be able to meet the residency obligation in respect of the five-year period immediately after they became a permanent resident;

(ii) if they have been a permanent resident for five years or more, that they have met the residency obligation in respect of the five-year period immediately before the examination; and....

Examination occurs at any point involving a Residency Obligation determination e.g. at PR Card renewal, TD application, when sponsoring etc.

Your situation is as per 28(2)(b)(i) - you have until June 21, 2017 to get 730 days so the TD application will be ok. More likely to be an issue is processing times at the visa post in India so best to apply as soon as you get to India.

1. I had read at many places that travel documents mostly get denied, i am worried
2. my family (wife/daughter) are already there in Canada
3. do i need to fill humanitarian grounds section while filling up the travel document.
4. i have resignation acceptance letter, landed document,medical card, Canada credit card statements with me, are these enough for appying or i need something else too

There is another section in Travel document, where i need to specify my job from the date i became PR, d i need to write my job from starting date in the company or the date when i became the pr

You do not need to fill the humanitarian grounds section, just fill the number of days you stayed in Canada and apply. You do not need to provide all these details since you landed just this year.
Specify only the employment from the date you became PR.
