Hi,
For PR card renewal application does one need to upload docuemnts for all 5 years worth or the last 2 to 3 years is sufficient?
I have been in canada for most of the time in the last 5 years.
No. Neither.
Follow the instructions. See
Appendix A in the instruction guide for what supporting documents to submit with the application.
For a PR who has been physically present in Canada for more than 730 days within the relevant time period, all they need to submit are "
two pieces of evidence" that respectively show presence or activity or residence in Canada within the relevant time period (five years immediately preceding the date the application is made or, for a PR who landed within the previous five years, the relevant time period is since landing).
So, for example, it would be sufficient to submit just one pay stub from a Canadian employer, plus one bank statement showing PR's address in Canada and activity in that account.
Another example: copy of document showing provincial health care coverage (such as OHIP card for residents of Ontario) plus a CRA Notice of Assessment that shows the PR was a resident in Canada during any one of the tax years that are within the relevant time period.
Actually, two Canadian bank statements will work. Two pay stubs will work.
For clarification . . .
You need to prove that you have been physically present in Canada for at least 730 days during a rolling five-year period. so 2 years period is enough to meet that requirement.
The OP's inquiry is about what
supporting documents need to be submitted. Any two documents showing physical presence, activity, or residence in Canada is sufficient for a PR who has not been outside Canada for 1095 or more days during their relevant time period. Just two such items are sufficient even if they merely show presence or activity in Canada on just two occasions, even if each document only shows that for one day (respectively).
Your response appears to be about travel history and that showing 730 days (two years) presence (that is, not outside Canada for 1095 or more days) is sufficient to meet the RO . . . which, to be clear, is not a "
requirement" as such, as it is an "
obligation" with exceptions.
