PR Obligations!

[Descriptive]

Hello There Dear Concerns:

This is Rahman here from Bangladesh. I wanted to discuss about a immigration issue of mine and need some advise from you.

First of all let me tell you about my background in brief. I was a student (Major-CS) in Canada since 2001-2006 with legal study permit and had a Job from 2007-2009 with work permit; During the job I become a Permanent Resident through Provincial Nominee in New Glasgow, NS.

I got my PR Card in the first week of October 2009, Landed in August 2009 at Maine

I left Canada at the end of October 2009 and till then I'm in Bangladesh now. (for so many family issues,problems I have to stay here)

My PR Card will expire in the first week of October 2014.

I know to keep the PR status I have to stay in Canada for 3 year and what I counted that time is over to keep status I think!!

planning to go back Canada in 2014!

My Queries are: Is it possible to go back now? what could be the immigration problems to get entry in Canada? What should I do now?

Could you please help me regarding these issue and give me some positive Solution/Advise and that would be so helpful for me.

Awaiting for your valuable response. Thanking you.

Sincerely, Rahman.

You will have not been in Canada for anytime in 5 years. Therefore when questioned at the border it is likely that they will proceed to cancel your PR status.

You know the rule we all have to abide by, you should have come back sooner.

Yes, you can come back now. Take evidence of the family problems and any medical reasons that prevented you from returning sooner with you.
It is possible that when you reach the port of entry, an officer may query you about not meeting PR obligations. If they let you in without reporting you, you should stay in Canada for 2 years straight(730 days) before you apply to renew your PR card.
If they report you(they will let you know if they do), then get a lawyer and prepare for an appeal. I think the appeal has to be filed within 30 days.
