This comes across as an extreme surprise to me-whether its lost or stolen, I've been in india since last 17 months -before that i've always lived in Canada the last 9 years with just three 20-30 day visits to India in those 9 years, so I very well meet the residency requirements for PRTD.
I started this thread so that I can know which will be the best documents which prove my residency requirements in last 5 years stongly so that I can get the PRTD asap without any delays. Its important that I reach Canada asap so this is important to me that I give the precisely asked docs that dont cause delay/denial/appeal.
Here is the guideline for this under appendix A- https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...newal-change-gender-identifier.html#appendixA
Facts:
Last 5 years means march 2021 to march 2026
- I have filed taxes for 2021,2022,2023. I am yet to file for 2024 but i can file in a couple of days( i was living in canada till 2024 october) - I lived in india entire 2025 not sure if I should file for 2025 or not.
- I was self employed/just doing renting like an agent/etc 2021 till 2022 December.
- I was employed 2022 December to 2023 june - However, i dont get along with the employer and might not be able to get the paystubs
- I have full phone bills from rogers from 2021 to 2024 and telus from 2024 to now- i dont have those but i can contact rogers/telus to get them I believe
- I can get bank statements
Things I think i muse send from the list they have mentioned above (other things too) :
1- I can get notice of assesment for 2021,2022, 2023 and soon for 2024 /2025 too- But for this case lets say i can provide for 2021,2022,2023
2-I own a small apartment under 100k since 2020 so ive lived there ever since, so I dont have any rental aggreemnt for that- can i send property tax assessment receipts? I can call city office and try to get PDF copies if at all possible. It was paid off so there wasnt any mortgage so cant prove it
3- I got another small apartment in 2023 which is still under mortgage i can provide mortgage copies of that property
4- when it comes to bank statements , do they expect every single months bank statement for last 5 years? They expect me to provide that for just one bank account or more than one?
5- Since i was mostly self employed and only employed for the half time, is it wise to send those things i dont even have them im in india and i dont get along with that employer either
I'm hoping someone can guide me precisely so i dont overgive the documents/justthe right docuements in my case so that I can get the PRTD asap.
