I became a Canadian permanent resident in June 2022 and received my COPR. Since then, I have spent only about 4 days physically in Canada, and currently I have approximately 10 months remaining in my initial 5-year PR period. During this time, I was primarily living and working in the US. In 2022, my father was seriously ill with dementia and other health problems, and I came to India later in the year for approximately three months to be with him; he subsequently passed away. In 2023, my husband lost his job, which created additional financial and family circumstances that made relocating more difficult. I had been in a lot of physical pain for the better part of 2024 and toward the end of 2024, I was diagnosed with a very large fibroid. I have medical records and diagnostic reports from both India and the US, and I ultimately underwent surgery in the US on April 29, 2025.
In March 2024, I had obtained a Canadian PRTD and re-entered Canada, but my PR card was not dispatched this time either. I have also repeatedly tried to contact IRCC regarding my first PR card, which was never delivered despite providing a Canadian mailing address. I now genuinely want to relocate to Canada and establish my life there permanently. I am considering applying for a PRTD and requesting consideration on humanitarian and compassionate grounds because I clearly do not meet the 730-day residency obligation. Given these circumstances, particularly my father's illness and death, my medical history, my previous PRTD, my attempts to resolve the missing PR card, and my current intention to permanently relocate to Canada, I would appreciate advice from anyone who has had a similar PRTD/H&C case. How realistic is it to obtain a PRTD in these circumstances, and what evidence would be most important to include?
