Hi ,
My PR Card is expiring in Nov , 2012. I am applying for PR Card renewal. I work overseas in Oilfield on Rotational Jobs. I travel every 4 weeks out of country. Then, I come back for my days off for 4 weeks. I have around 1000 Days in last 5 years . I have a lot of stamps in ,y passport. Also, few canadian entry stamp are missing. However, I have all the boarding card for my all journets. i pay taxes in canada. as per new procedure, CIC is asking for all passports copy, i will be sending all of that. What other documents should i send so that i do not run in RQ & get my pR card in 2-3 months without any RQ etc. Please advise.

You are confusing two different processes.

To renew PR, you do not need to send photocopies of passport stamps. Read the instructions for renewal and only send what is required. Also, there is no RQ for PR card renewal.

To apply for citizenship, you may have to send photocopies of passport stamps. RQ may be required in some cases where officer is not satisfied or is unable to determine residency days.

You are right, but no RQ. If they want to verify info, they will require you to pick up your card at which point they will interview you. Therefore it should not take longer either way.

I am not sure but I think I read somewhere that you can request your entry/exit record from CBSA. I hope someone can comment in that.

In your case since you have many stamps in passport, and where some are missing, you may want to include something that will confirm your entry and exits. But if you don't, and they ask you to come pick it up from the office along with passport(s) and other proofs, then take everything you could possibly think about to prove your entries, exits, and residency (bank statements, credit cards statements, receipts, leases, memberships, tax return, boarding passes, itinerary, duty receipts, etc.)

Use translator with affidavit who is not a family member or relative. Translate only the pages that has stamps in different languages. Try to make it as clear and organized as possible. Have your translator write the date of entry or exit along with the county and the name of the border crossing in the same page and sign below. Attach an affidavit that lists the pages in the passport(s) that were translated.

Leon Please Advice

I have done translation of my passport stamps . I will be submitting PR Card Renewal aplication along with Translated copy of Passports. However, Am I also supposed to send a Excel Sheet with Matching Page number of passport stamps. Or I just keep it handy & show them when I go for pick up PR cARD. Beacause I doubt they will check all my excel sheet, boarding cards etc, If i attach them with renewal aplication. I have 1000 days in canda. I am planning to send only passport copy & translated passport copy. Other thing I will prepare & keep it with me. I want to avoid any RQ etc which will delay my PR card renewal . My Pr card is valid upto Nov, 2012. I am applying under normal PR Card Renewal processes.Please advice. I have 1000 days in canada in last 5 year
