Renewal of PR Card
- Thread starter max2008
- Start date
When you apply to renew the PR card, you will have to explain how many days you were gone and the only exceptions you get is if you were out of the country with your spouse and your spouse is a Canadian citizen OR if you were working out of the country for a Canadian company OR if you were with your spouse who is a permanent resident who was working out of the country for a Canadian company.
I doubt they give exceptions but maybe you are still ok with the number of days. They say on the PR card renewal that you can't stay away more than 1095 days in 5 years unless you have some exceptions. In 5 years, you have total 5*365 days + 1 for leap year so 1826 days. That means you would have to have stayed in Canada for 731 days. If you have already 750, maybe you are ok.
i'm a PR card holder, my pr expires on may, 2009 ..... i'm studying in India ...... i'm above 18 years old ......... i migrated to Canada with my parent as dependent at that time who are also presently in India ........ i have joined 5 years regular professional study course in India ........Is it possible for me to stay in India until my degree is over and maintain my PR status ? ...... if yes, what procedure to be followed ?....... what permissions i need to get from the Canadian High Commission in India ?........
I assume you mean your PR card is expiring on May 2009. Your PR status is not directly linked to your PR card. Your PR status may already be gone if you have been outside Canada for more than 3 years after you became PR.
As a PR, you can not be outside Canada for more than 1095 days in any 5 year period. Certain exceptions like working for a Canadian company abroad, accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse or parent, accompanying a PR spouse or parent if they are in compliance with their residency requirements.
You can not renew your PR card unless you are in Canada. If your PR card expires while you are outside Canada, you can apply for a PR travel document to come back, provided your PR status is still valid.

Do not try to renew your PR card until you have 2 years in Canada, that is June 2011. Also do not leave Canada. Your PR status can not be questioned while you are in Canada unless you apply to renew your PR card.
Once you meet the residency requirements again, make sure you don't apply until you do, then you can apply to renew PR card and you will be fine.
If you try to renew your PR card now, they will tell you that you lost your PR and refuse your renewal. You could apply under H&C reasons because of family circumstances but it will probably take a long time to process and you can not be sure of the results.

Yes, you can stay in Canada until you have 2 years and then apply for a new PR card. There is no law that says you need to have a valid PR card at all times. You need it sometimes to prove your status, when you move to a new province to apply for health care perhaps or get a drivers license but that is about it. If you take care of those things before your PR card expires, you will not need it again. It will not affect your citizenship. Nobody will ask you why you didn't renew it sooner. They are only allowed to look at the last 5 years from the date you apply for renewal. If in those 5 years, you meet the residency requirements, they can not go further back in time.
You should NOT leave Canada during this time. While you wait to fulfill the 2 years, your PR is only safe while you stay in Canada and do not apply to renew your PR. As soon as you leave, you risk getting caught when you return, especially if your PR card is already expired. If the IO at the border believes you haven't been meeting the residency requirements, they request that you prove otherwise and if you can't, you will lose your PR.

You should maybe expect your PR status to possibly be revoked if you apply now having only resided for 580 days so you should not apply to renew until probably feb/mar 2021 and stay put until then by which time you would have met the residency obligation.
Once you are a PR visit visas are no longer valid so given you appear to have not met the residency obligation then should you leave there is always possibility on return you could be reported leading to PR status being revoked.
Also should you be out of the country without a valid PR card you would need a PRTD to travel back, and if you have not met the residency obligation applying for a PRTD could also possiBly result in PR status being revoked.
