It's written on the PRTD, mine is multiple entry valid for a year

It's written on the PRTD, mine is multiple entry valid for a year

This report illustrates how important context is.

Many aspects of a PR TD issued to a new PR (but abroad without a PR card) are different from the PR TD which might be issued on H&C grounds.

While this report has little or no bearing on the OP's query (given the very different circumstances of the OP's case), the report is appreciated because it illustrates another context in which IRCC is currently issuing multiple entry PR TDs . . . and also for illustrating circumstances in which a PR TD may be valid for a time period other than six months. (Note: routine issuance of multiple entry PR TDs appears to be a relatively new policy.)

Nonetheless, to be clear, this is probably not relevant to the OP's situation or application for a PR TD (which if granted, will be based on H&C grounds) . . .
. . . well, except that it is a good observation that the validity date will be written on the PR TD itself. And that may vary from one person to the next.

I was answering a question based on the OP's question and add further point. Either way once his PRTD is issued he'll see it on the actual document.

I'm afraid I don't have the time to go through a posters other posts to see the background as to why they are applying for a PRTD.

If it's for H&C reasons he/she should state that.

How do you know he/she is applying under H&C?

His other posts.

Posters frequently don't give all the information we need to give them good replies so sometimes if helps if you look at his other posts or you can also ask him for the missing information.

Multiple entry travel documents can be issued in some cases, for example when a person meets the RO through living with a Canadian spouse or parent, is however not living in Canada and can't renew their PR card for that reason.

In this case, the guy is applying on H&C grounds and does not meet the RO so immigration will issue him a TD that is for one entry only.

Fair enough, my logic works along the lines of that if you want an answer to a question it's better to give all the facts rather than bits and pieces

My logic also extends to the fact if you ask the same question multiple times, you're bound to end up with the answer you've engineered or wanted people to come back with.

Either way I hope the OP has his answer from both points of view

Yes, it is often helpful to post on many threads and give different information even until you get the answer you want

However, people often don't give all the information because they simply do not know what is important.

A simple question like how long is a PR TD valid might have a simple answer like 6 months. However, it's isn't always that straight forward because in some cases you can get a multiple entry, also a fairly recent thing btw

This is true and I have to admit I was slightly surprised to have received a multiple entry PRTD as on reading the CIC website it suggest that you actually have to request this or prove that you require one.

On my application I hadn't actually requested but in actual fact I'm glad I do have multiple entry as now I'm not so worried about when I receive my PR card

Anybody can apply for PRTD multiple entry?

Anybody can apply for PRTD multiple entry?

Is that a question or a statement?

 

[ttrajan]

Question. Anybody will get PRTD multi entry?

 

[Leon]

Question. Anybody will get PRTD multi entry?

According to immigration, they are issued under certain circumstances, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5529ETOC.asp

What if I am living outside Canada on a long-term basis?

Usually, PRTD counterfoils are issued for a single entry to Canada. However, you can request a long-term multiple entry PRTD if you:

* meet the residency obligation; and
* are living outside Canada on a long-term basis (for example, if you are a permanent resident accompanying your Canadian citizen spouse).

Include a cover letter that explains your circumstances and requests a multiple entry PRTD.

Multiple entry PRTD’s cannot extend beyond the expiry date of your passport.

Did not mean to come across as criticizing your observations.

As I noted, your report is appreciated. It provided helpful information. In particular, since issuing multiple use PR TDs appears to be a relatively new policy, any reports of actual experience with them helps to advance general knowledge in the forum.

Just was not relevant for the OP's particular situation (except the reminder that the expiration of the PR TD would be specified in the PR TD itself, which of course would not be seen until the PR TD is received), which warrants clearly letting the OP know this -- particularly since one thing the OP has queried about is being able to come to Canada on a PR TD and leave and return (likewise a discussion in another topic here), which for the OP would be problematic, given the OP's particular situation, whereas in your situation it is specifically allowed. So it was important to clarify for the OP, with some emphasis, that a multiple use PR TD is not relevant to the OP's situation.

And in this regard, your report was also a helpful reminder that the particular circumstances in the individual case can make a big difference. This is important; it is important to recognize that what happens in the individual case does indeed depend a great deal on a range of factors which can and often do vary extensively from case to case. And your post helps to illustrate this.

No worries, as a judge would say I can only help based on the facts at my disposal, it's a policeman's job to search for evidence and make a case.

As mentioned above if an OP only wants to write certain information then I can only base a response on that and I'm not inclined to go through all of their posts to piece it all together.

Either way, on this occasion I agree that his case is not the same as mine. My statement gave two facts, firstly, I received a multiple entry PRTD and secondly that the date will be on the PRTD.

Have a good one
