You claim you have lived here 2.5 years out of last 5. So as long as u satisfy the requirements for pr renewal, leave and apply for PRTD in your other country. Second option is wait till it comes to not risk. It depends what u want to do based on the seriousness ans importance of you leaving canada.

We have verified your file and noticed that it was referred to the local office for further assessment, causing a delay in the processing of your application.

We added a note to your file to notify the responsible office of your request. However, in these cases, there is no urgent processing.


Even for the secondary review there is no mail or email

I had my 10 year US visit visa from before my PR card expired, so I used that to enter US. When I was asked the reason for my visit, I said I was there to see the Niagara Falls (I had my itinerary for the connecting flight to Buffalo, and ofcourse I technically did the 'see' the falls every time), and then drive back home into Canada. Was never asked anything beyond this, and it isn't their job to check for my Canadian PR card.

I carried all my documents (driving license, house lease, health card etc) to show if required at the Canadian border but was never asked for anything other than passport and landing doc. In most cases, I did not even need to inform them that I had flown in from Dubai same day.

My understanding from various interactions at the Canadian border was that a lot of people are using this route to travel without PR card, as they didn't seem curious or surprised at all.

I have many of my clients based in Dubai, and travel was imminent and urgent. Called CIC and checked if this approach was fine, they didn't seem to object, all they said is that as long as you're not coming into Canada on commercial transport, you can enter with the landing doc (instead of a valid PR card).

I am not saying this is right or wrong, but I used this approach a few times and never faced an issue.

Hi, Much appreciate for your detailed response. I am a new PR holder and living out of canada so far. Would appreciate if you can guide about documents needed for PR card renewal , would be helpful to plan keeping in view of possible showstoppers

Hello

I am new to this forum and wanted to share my timelines:

- Application received: July 5, 2016
- Acknowledge receipt: August 11, 2016
- Started processing: August 12, 2016
- Secondary review: September 12, 2016

I have been in Canada for around 1,255 days since I became a PR (within the last 5 years) and had frequent short trips to the US on business. I have 570 days outside of Canada since I did my landing (I landed and went back to my employment country to complete my work obligations before moving here permanently). Throughout this time I renewed my passport twice so the passport number in my PR renewal application is not the same that is on record but I don't think that this is an issue.

Strangely I sponsored both my parents and they have both been accepted as PR which means that there is no security or fraud issue on my account.

I suspect that they noticed that I travel frequently and they just want to make sure that I am really living in Canada and not just claiming to be (despite sending IRCC 4 tax reports proving that I am a full time employee in the country)

There are no criteria to be sent to secondary, IRCC can do so if they want to confirm that you have been living here and not just lying so it takes time to do all the reviews especially that I came to know that they have a huge backlog

Hi are a US citizen or permanent resident of US?

 

[Saga]

Neither, I don't have any status from the US. I only have a B1/B2 visa which allows me to to go back and forth

Wow!!!. Secondary review after 1255 days in Canada. My renewal is due in mid- 2017 and I may have similar number of days. Wondering what exactly are they looking at.

Well, he also has 570 days outside of Canada since landing in 2011..

They just want to make sure that I am actually here and that I really have 1255 days of physical residency like I am claiming. This is a very simple step to do because all they need is the records of entry and exit from the country which they can have access to from CBSA quite fast. But there is a huge backlog and as such, things take forever since they are probably reviewing oldedr cases
