If you did not live in Canada for 24 months in the last 5 years, you have lost your PR status due to lack of interest to live in Canada. The only thing that would protect your PR status is if your spouse is a Canadian citizen or if you were working for a Canadian company.

You can try to apply for a travel document stating humane and compassionate reasons for not living in Canada during this time due to health of parents but no guarantee that you would be approved.

the requirements are fully explained here

from what you say, you have little chance unless you can come up with proof, as Leon says, of special circumstances

that's why, when you initially get PR, they give you a clear warning about your residency obligations

Hi,
I have to apply for Travel Document from India, as I have not yet got the PR card. Need help with filling form IMM5524 and have some questions on how to fill.
I spent about 60 days since I landed in May 2012 and went back to India due to personal situation.

IMM5524.
Q15 - Time spent in canada for residency obligation.
Q16 is NO
Q17 is also NO. Do I need to fill the dates.
Q18 Do i need to fill at all??? I became a PR only 60 days ago in May 2012, and I have enough time to meet residency obligations? Will filling this section cause any confusion.
