I'm so sorry for your loss.Mate if your personal situation is so bad, please travel and be with your dad. Don't stay here cursing IRCC when your family is so stressed already. Even if you get eCOPR when you are outside Canada you can apply PRTD and come back. You will get many more chances to get back it is just a temporary delay.
On the other hand something bad happens you can't see your dad again. I went back home last month my grandma who was my primary caretakes as a kid, beathed her last I was happy I could go and be with her when then finished her 103 year old journey on earth.
Unfortunately I don't have a place to live in that country and other details make my situation there intolerable, so staying there indefinitely is unfortunately not an option. For reasons including some of personal nature that drove me to (I guess try to) immigrate to Canada, I can't stay there for months. I also have to work here, etc. You know how it is. I think it is unreasonable to wait months for a pdf and, citizenship being my main goal, do I really deserve to lose everything over this nonsense?
