Hi Dear Members and Immigration Professionals,
I’ll ask a question that is answered for at least a thousand times but I’ll change the situation a little bit.
Someone becomes PR in 2012 and leaves Canada right after getting the PR Card. He is never back and the PR Card expires. He applies for a PRTD from the home country under H&C grounds and the case gets accepted in 2018. After getting PRTD, he goes to Canada with this PRTD and applies for a new PR Card, then leaves Canada right after receiving the new PR Card. The H&C reasons resolves in a year but he still does not come back to Canada and waits until the PR Card is about to expire. 3 months before expiration of the new PR Card (December 2022), he comes to Canada without getting reported at the airport. Now,
• Applying for a PRC renewal would not be the optimal action to take since he is not in compliance with RO.
• Waiting for 2 years and then applying for the third PR Card is the best and the safest option.
But,
1) After staying in Canada for 2 consecutive years, would he be questioned about the super long absence between 2012-2022?
2) What if he does not apply for a PRC renewal after 2 years but stays in Canada for 3 consecutive years and then applies directly for citizenship?
Thanks and regards…
