Hi All- I was just curious what's happening to those people who are unable to furnish their PR requirement of minimum 2 year stay in Canada due to Lockdown and Canada Entry ban because of Covid? Say someone came to his/her native country but is stuck there and unable to come back to Canada to furnish the minimum 730 days stay in Canada in order to continue his/her PR?

Is there any time relaxation given by Canada govt in such cases? Is Canada govt considering such genuine cases?

Actually, there was no entry ban to Canada due to covid. PR could always travel and quarantine.

As far as I know, there is no blanket relaxation, each case will be evaluated on it's own basis.

There is no official policy for relaxing RO, although H&C considerations are always considered. Keep in mind if you are very short of residency, you’ll need to provide evidence of the rest of the time you were absent.
