My PRTD is multi entry, valid until 25/7/22, in RC-1 Category. Yes, it is a risky plan and I want to clarify am not doing this for fun, I have some serious personal issues. I am discussing it as I am trying to find the best solution as I cant stay long term in Canada on my next visit.
Considering above suggestions and current processing timeline for Renewal of PR cards being 114 days:
1. I think I should give atleast 4 months of timeline between submitting application of pr card renewal and expiry of my prtd. So, in case am called back for interview or to pick up pr card (assuming it doesn't take longer than 4 months which it could) I can fly back on the same PRTD , if its not mailed. Do you agree?
2. I had heard that people who hold PRTD in RC-1 category can immediately apply for PR card renewal after landing in Canada and even if they dont meet RO, they would still receive a new PR card. Is that correct?
Two main issues here:
1) You
cannot count on the 114 days working in any case, and particularly in a case where there may be other issues - your case is not at all 'average' and to rely on such time periods is a huge risk.
2) In particular: it is quite likely that IRCC will look at and scrutinize whether the applicant is compliant with residency obligation AND of course whether the applicant is present in Canada. Both would be reasons to send for more in-depth review and/or for pick-up in Canada. (It's worth noting that there are many, many applications still waiting the 'pick up in office' PR card arrangements - because there have beenn very few and possibly none of these done since the start of the pandemic).
3. Yes, although those with PRTD with RC-1 (H&C reasons for issuance) can apply for PR card on arrival, the vast majority of such cases are those who remain in Canada while the PR card is being processed. (And then even after they get it, they need to be cautious with travel, because the PR card does NOT mean the RO compliance issues have been resolved or forgiven.
Again, the point of the PRTD is to let PRs return to Canada to
reside.
3.In above posts, it was indicated that I could be reported for not meeting RO at my next visit to Canada (when i travel on my PRTD), during PR card renewal process or at my second entry to Canadian airport when i enter with valid pr card to live in Canada permanently which will lead to revoking of PR status. When a visa officer reports me in any of the above situations and IRCC starts process of revoking my pr status, would i be informed immediately at the airport etc?
If reported ,you would almost certainly be informed at the airport (either of report or of need to confirm when officer available). But I think that kind of misses the point.
Again, with the PRTD on your
first entry back, it is quite unlikely you would be reported (basically the border agent would usually defer to the formal decision made by IRCC when you applied for the PRTD). Possibly that would apply to subsequent entries during the validity of the PRTD (given that it was issued as a multi-entry).
But after that validity expires, no guarantees at all, and a much higher risk that eg if you needed to apply for another PRTD, that it would simply be refused (and now you would have no alternative but to appeal from abroad).
The bottom line is that right now, whatever your reasons, the only truly 'safe' way to retain your PR is to return to Canada during validity of your PRTD and remain. (Whether you could return now and depart for a period before the July expiry date of your PRTD - probably significantly less risky, the key factor being entering Canada remaining afte rthat july date.)
Again, not much in the way of 'advice' here - just warnings that what you believe your plan is seems quite risky (if you wish to remain a PR). Your reasons are your reasons and no-one here can comment; but neither can anyone responsibly sugar-coat it and say that future H&C requests will be treated the same way.
