Hello all,
My wife received her passport request a few days back for a PRTD application. We have until Jan 11, 2023 to submit her passport. Since we are leaving for vacation in a few days, we plan to send the passport to the VAC (Dusseldorf since we are in Germany) in the first few days of January. With this, we need to plan our return to Canada. A few questions:
1. We didn't specifically ask for a multiple entry visa or for any particular duration. Any idea how long a PRTD is valid? If it is valid till end of 2023, that would be ideal to plan our return. On the other hand, if we get only say three months, it might be a bit of a rush, as we both have to give notice in our jobs.
2. If the PRTD is valid for only say three months, and we are unable to return in time, will there be a problem with a second PRTD application? Will the scrutiny increase?
3. If we do manage to rush back to Canada, can we apply for a PR card immediately? She met her RO on the basis of accompanying a citizen and not on H&C grounds.
4. I was looking at the new PR card application, and it is the same form as a PRTD except that we now select the PR part. Do we need to provide proof of residence in Canada such as a rental property with a lease agreement with her name on it or a driver's licence? The reason for this question is, because if such address proof is needed, I could go first to rent an apartment.
Thanks in advance.
