Hello,
I am planning to immigrate to Canada. I currently reside in the United States on my F1 (Student) Visa and my country of permanent residence is India. I came to the United States in 2016 and since then, I finished my Masters in Computer Sciences and worked here in the States for 2 years. I am a Computer Scientist by profession and looking at all the opportunities in the developing economy of Canada, I would like to work and stay there permanently.
But there's more to this story; I have been a Permanent resident of Canada in 2007 (when I was 13 years old) and me and my family stayed in Canada till 2008 (A total of 283 days). My family then decided to leave Canada and I had to go back to India (being a minor). Therefore, my PR card expired in 2012. I had done some research online and the Canadian Government website says that I have to file for PRTD (Permanent Resident Travel Document) to re-enter Canada and then renew my PR card if they approve my case. I am also writing this under Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds section for my PRTD.
"When I was in Canada as a permanent resident, I was only 13 years old and hence a minor. Therefore, I was under the supervision of my parents and cannot make my own decisions. Due to their discomfort in Toronto (extreme cold), they decided to move to India permanently. However, I was in oppose to leave as I was getting the best education at Nelson A Boylen High school. I wanted to stay but I was forced by my parents to leave Canada and live with them in India. Years passed by and I adapted the Indian lifestyle and studied there till my Bachelors and decided to complete higher studies in USA. Now, I would like to live permanently in Canada as it was and still is my dream."
What are the chances of my getting a PRTD and then getting a PR after that? If I get rejected, can I start from scratch? Give IELTS and file again under Express Entry?
