PR Card Residency Obligation_Urgent help required

[Alex_78]

Dear All

I studied in Canada for my Masters & left Canada in 2006. I applied for my immigration while I was studying and got my immigration in 2005 though it took quite longer than usual, about 2 & 1/2 years in 2007 which originally disrupted my settlement plan. I landed on May 18'2008 and stayed for a short time in Canada until May26'2008. After that I traveled back to my country to look after my widow mother who had couple of hospitalization records including one major operation for tumor removal. I have two unmarried younger sisters who are adult, but in the context of socio-environment of my country usually male persons take this sort of responsibility of family.

I myself once had hospitalization due to slight dislocation in my lower spine back in 2008 right after landing. On top of that I had a law suit for a land which I have inherited along with my sisters and mother going on for more than 4 years for which I had to remain in my country and I wanted to dissolve my part of this land and transfer the money to Canada.

It appears that I might not be able to fullfil 730 days requirement for residency. Does my case gathers enough ground for Humanitarian and Compassionate ground?

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

If you landed in May 2008, it will mean your PR card will expire around May 2013. Correct? If that is the case, why are you concerned about Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds? What are you trying to do? Come back to Canada?

You can come to Canada with your still valid PR card. If they don't ask you any questions, you just walk in. If they do ask you and you tell them that you were taking care of your sick mother, it is up to the immigration officer if they report you or not. They might just decide to let you in anyway in which case you can just wait until you have 2 years in Canada and then apply to renew your PR card. If they do report you, you can appeal based on H&C grounds.
