Hello.
I am a permanent resident of Canada. So is my 16 year old son. On September, 2015 his PR-Card got expired, so I am renewing it.
Filling out the application I found problem with the section D.
My son got his PR status in August 2010. But he spent period between August 2010 and June 2015 (when he came back to Canada) outside, studying and living with his mother.
So none of the scenarios shown in the application fit the situation.
Do I leave the section blank? Is there an exception for this kind of scenario (under-aged, living with mother)?
Thank you for any help.

If he's been inside of Canada since June 2015 - then wait until he has 730 residency days in Canada in June 2017 before you apply to renew his PR card.

730 days of staying in the country without leaving, or the sum of 730 days?
Because he went to Cuba for a week in August 2015.
Do I count days from the June or August then?

730 days in total. You count from his return, but do not include the week in Cuba.

Hello I have a question, so basically when I landed I got the pr but I was obviously a minor and unable to make a decision to stay in Canada so obviously my PR CARD expired. so this led me to apply for a prtd based on h&c grounds. now my question is when i go to Canada in a few weeks, i have filled out the pr application but left one section empty which is the residency obligation as I stayed outside of Canada for 1095 days or more. However, the situations they mention (absences while accompanying family member, family business etc) don't apply to me. So my question is, do i leave this section empty when i submit this application in hopes they will look at my file knowing I have a valid reason based on h&c grounds or do i submit a letter along with this application? can someone help me with this please. thank you. Also, I was issued the visa 24th of august and I'm traveling on the 22nd of sept. and its category RC-1, so can anyone please elaborate on this and provide me with good news, thanks.
