Great comment. " only single entry"=> i hope we can have multi entries. "until they have the renewed PR card"=> sure, might depend how many weeks it takes.

You should expect that it won't be fast.

Think you are missing the point as to why PRTDs based on H&C are awarded. It is for permanent moves back to Canada. It is not meant for people to obtain PR cards with the knowledge they will not be able to meet their RO. For example if you have a sick relative and will continue to need to spend a large portion of your time abroad then applying for PRTD based on H&C may not make sense and applying later when the health of the relative has been resolved may be a better option. There are examples when multiple entry PRTDs are awarded or can be requested that make sense. For example if you are living abroad with your Canadian partner and want to visit Canada and have no intention of moving back to Canada in the near future then a multiple entry PRTDs is sometimes awarded or can be requested.

Thank you. I agree. I know life is complex due to a sick member in my family.

Has anyone applied PRTD in India? By any chance, do you know how long would it take for the passport to be stamped since it is submitted with the VFS Global?

@kprs_ind did you got your passport? Could you please share timeline?

For passport, it was 10 business days.

If you have valid PR card, you will be admitted entry. However, you need to meet residency obligation 730 days in the last 5 years to renew PR card. While entering, the border officer may ask you some questions. And you need to answer that you are going to reside in canada henceforth. This happened to me when i made entry 2 yrs ago.

@kvan60 Hi......you said you made entry 2 yrs ago. So I assume you have now met the RO of 730 days. Have you renewed your PR card ? If so, can you please share the time lines of your PR renewal applications. I am asking as I have also completed the 2 years and applying for PR renewal now.
