Hi I am looking for some serious help for my dad here, your suggestions are welcome.
My dad completed his citizenship application in 2018 and was waiting for his Canadian passport but somehow due to reasons unknown we got a letter that this application got abandoned. Now the elephant in the room right now is that he went to India after applying because he has his mother living alone there and he makes frequent trips back and forth. Then got Covid himself and was really serious as he is a diabetic patient. With all the travel bans and no direct flights we don't want to risk his life again on account of travelling back. But sadly because of abandonment of his application his PR card is set to expire in October 2021 and to renew it right now he is short three months . I am looking for your best advice here, should he reapply without completing his residency obligation , do you think he would be excused based on health grounds, travel restrictions and his elderly mother alone in India ? We really don't want him to travel in such a condition. Please suggest.
