Hello Expert,

My father's PR is expired very soon. He landed as an immigrant 5 years ago and stayed in Canada just for a month. He had to go back home for family issues. Now his PR expiration is just in two weeks. He could come for a short visit before his PR gets expired but he can not stay more than a month. It is a very bad timing for him now to stay.

He has 3 adult children living here in Canada and one adult daughter left in back home. She (my sister) has applied for immigration to Canada and now is in the final step. she is waiting for her Canadian immigration visa to be arrived. If she gets her immigration visa to come here, my father will come and stay here for sure. He can not leave one daughter back home alone.

What are the options for him not to lose his PR? If we explain this to immigration office, do you think they will accept and renew his PR card (without meeting the 2 years residency obligation)?

No, they will not.
 
can he obtain a travel document to come back to Canada after expiration of his PR card? in that case he can stay for two years and then apply for renewal of his PR card.

If he does that, he will almost certainly lose his PR status. I strongly suggest you read the many, many posts on this subject in the correct area of the forum. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/permanent-residency-obligations-b11.0/
