For parts of the application form which are not applicable, it is generally best to enter "Not Applicable" or at least "N/A" . . . but that said, for the PR card application leaving part D. blank will not, not ordinarily anyway, cause any problems (unless the PR actually needs such credit, assuming the PR qualifies for such credit for time outside Canada).
Part D. is for PR card applicants whose travel history, in Part C. Item 21, does not show they were actually present in Canada for at least 730 days within the last five years. And ONLY if they qualify for credit toward Residency Obligation compliance for time abroad, based on one of the three circumstances or "situations" provided for in Part D. of the application.
Caution: this forum is vulnerable to distraction and disruption; better to skip by posts from participants who feel qualified to interrupt responses to genuine queries with irrelevant and largely unfounded defamation aimed at Canada's civil servants even though they personally are not even residents of Canada and have, at most, only peripheral ties to Canada, and minimal experience dealing with the Canadian government. Way too much they offer is way too far off to try addressing, other than to say just ignore (even though on occasion they might post tidbits of accurate information, perhaps even more so than how often a broken clock is right; just not worth wading through the muck to extract what is mostly likely being said, anyway, by other more reliable forum participants.)
I have 740 days in Canada and meet the RO. However, I have spent more than 1095 days outside Canada and have returned to Canada. The application for PR renewal has three points - Absences while accompanying a family member who is a canadian citizen
- Absences while employed by a canadian business outside canada
- Absences while accompanying a family member who is a PR and who is employed by a canadian business outside canada
For me, none of the three points are applicable. So, I need to leave these sections in the IMM5444E blank ?
As others have aptly illuminated, it is not possible to have both credit for 740 days IN Canada and have spent more than 1095 days outside Canada within the relevant time period. I revisit this because if you left Canada and spent more than 1095 days outside Canada before returning here, it warrants noting with some emphasis
it will now require spending TWO years in Canada since coming here for you to get into compliance with the Residency Obligation. Once you passed the 1095 days in a row abroad threshold, there is no way back into compliance without spending two full years here. (This is because days in Canada you currently have credit for, from prior to a three year absence, will fall out of the calculation and no longer count going forward, as they fall outside the relevant five years that count, so new days in Canada just offset the loss of the day from five years ago.)
When it comes to traveling with a Canadian citizen abroad what is your exact scenario? What about your work for a Canadian company abroad? Is this for a government agency? Was this a temporary transfer from your job in Canada?
Errrrr . . . as
@armoured noted, it appears you overlooked this:
Now, since none of the options in Section D is applicable, shall I leave it blank ?
Moreover, this too does not fit the OP's scenario:
Looks like you may only be trying to meet your RO, apply for PR card renewal and return to India. This plan doesn’t work because you now must meet the 730 days out of 5 years on any day. If you leave you start losing days counted towards your RO and you will become out of compliance with your RO soon after applying for PR card renewal.
If the OP, that is
@kumar_montreal, stays TWO years and then applies for a new PR card, as it appears the OP needs to do to get into compliance, the OP could then leave Canada for an extended period of time without breaching the RO . . . up to three years actually. Not that I recommend following a plan of that sort. Not the sort of thing I offer recommendations about.
