Hi everyone !
I applied for PRTD on H&C Ground, removed as a minor case and It is approved and I have recently received PRTD RC-1 Category stamp on my passport.
I applied as an International student in OntarioTech University and got accepted. Now, as I have received my PR-TD, I emailed my University asking to change my status from International student to domestic student.
I attached following documents in that email :
1. Passport (New, with PR-TD stamp)
2. Passport (Old)
3. PR Card (Expired in 2013)
4. PR-TD Stamp ( alone)
5. CoPR (expired in 2013)
6. SIN Card
7. Health Card ( expired in 2012 )
Now the university emailed me back saying that they wont consider the expired documentation to change my status to domestic student.

However on the universities official website it is stated that,
Eligibility for domestic fees :
  • A person who has been granted permanent resident status in Canada within the meaning of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Please suggest what should I do ?

Thanks in advance.
Your university is wanting to see a valid / current document.

Based on experiences on this forum, you may need to wait until you have a valid PR card again. You'll only be able to apply for the PR card once you've returned to Canada.

As my category is RC-1 should I apply for renewal of PR Card immediately after arriving Canada or should I wait for 2 years RO because I only stayed 3 months in Canada.
Also, how much time should I expect for PR Card renewal in the current situation ?

As far as know one of my friends daughter went similar way paid international fees first year. Later once GOTZ pr changed to domestic
Take a look at my previous posts .
I applied from India via online email, It took 6 months for me to receive PPR ( Passport Request ) and after that it took around 1 month to have my PRTD stamp on my passport in my hands.
I suggest you to send the reminder email to IRCC.

Congratulations for your Visa.
I asked my university to reconsider and they changed my status to Domestic Student. I will arrive Canada on 25th September 2021. I have asked few people on CanadaVisa and they said that I can apply for my PR-Card renewal as soon as I arrive Canada as I have RC-1 Category counterfoil Permanent Resident Visa.

Hello Forum Members,

I hope you guys are doing well.

My girlfriend travelled to her home country (Russia). She had to travel due to some family emergency. She doesn't have a PR Card. As I understand she must need a PR Card or a PRTD in order to re-enter Canada.

We are trying to get some help how to apply but are very confused. We really need help in order to start the process for PRTD.

Can anyone please explain how to apply, where to send documents for PRTD. She in Russia from the past 7 days.

Thank you so much in advance guys. We will really appreciate your help.

Please fill form IMM5529 along with all supporting documents to IRCC whichever is near to your country or within your country . I applied for my son he got it in 3 months. Your wife might early if she has stayed in Canada /obligatory days . Best of luck
