Hello All

I am asking for a friend here. She basically got her PR card in March 2021 and the PR card expires in March 2026. She hasn't met RO though she was working for a Canadian company and was in India handling a part of their operations too. Also majorly she being the only child to her parents had to stay back in India because of her mother's health which was a major reason of not meeting the RO. She basically has stayed 298 days in Canada until Dec 2023. And after that she has been working with a Canadian company. In between the abroad working period as well she did make frequent visits to Canada which were I believe around 150 days and was part of her contract. She even purchased a pre- construction condo property in April 2024 during her visit which has an expected timeline of Sep 2027 closing. She is wanting to submit her PR card renewal application as she is in Canada right now.

1. Do you think she has chances of getting the PR card renewed based on her tie back to Canada in terms of property purchase and other financial investments done in Canada?
2. Can she use her mother's medical reasons as a ground for H&C for not meeting the RO along with the employment documents?
3. Should she go ahead with paper based application or should apply online.


Anybody who has been in similar situation and can help us here, I would be really thankful.

She would be much better off just waiting until she is compliant with her RO. Also 730 days based in the past 5 years is based on landing date not PR card dates.

1. If she is in Canada then once she meets RO then renew. Home or investment is not a reason to be renewed.is
2. Her PR card expires in 2026 so again meet RO and then renew. She only left in 2023.
