Hi All, Thanks to those who are actively replying to queries.
1st Question - Question14 (Activities and Employment) and Q15 (Residency obligation) . I became PR (COPR) on 13th Jan 2021. I have not completed 5 years . Before PR, I was on student and work permit. Should I list all of that too or just the current employment status after I became PR?
2nd question - Question 17: Absences while employed by a Canadian business .
I am going on approved vacation leave and will resume work after coming back to canada. Do I have to fill this in employment details too?

Since my total is less than 730 days , should I fill question 19?
Did you all give any extra reason for why you are returning to Canada.

Your help is appreciated. thanks :)

I would let someone answer 1st question. For 2nd, you can write not applicable as you are not on Canadian government duty or subsidiaries that will ask you to work from india. Those days in india will be 0

that's really great . Did you attach return tickets with application ? Currently I am on a step to request courier service for PRTD and my pin code doesn't have Blue Dart so I have given them option of nearby Blue Dart . Waiting for passport submission vfs to reply for further steps .

Yes I did submit my tickets to IRCC when I applied for PRTD. The stamping process was real quick except for the delays caused by VFS's long delays in between responses to passport submission request emails. Once passport was couriered from my end it took 5 day including a Saturday & Sunday to get back my passport.

Thanks for info. My area Blue dart doesn't have two way authority for passport submission . Hence IRCC has given me alternate options which are too far from my home . So I need to arrange drop and pick up at that authorized blue dart location :(

One more question, did you drop passport at courier location or they came and picked up from home? If you dropped at blue dart , what address did you give in passport submission web form? was it Blue Dart location address ?

I used the passport submission email for the request, I had to use the Blue dart location too.
I made sure I mention that info in my first email and they correctly used the blue dart location as specified.
