1st answer: if you became PR less than 5 years ago, mention all your activities from the time when you became PR to present. List all activities after your PR status (mentioned on imm5524e form too)Hi All, Thanks to those who are actively replying to queries.
1st Question - Question14 (Activities and Employment) and Q15 (Residency obligation) . I became PR (COPR) on 13th Jan 2021. I have not completed 5 years . Before PR, I was on student and work permit. Should I list all of that too or just the current employment status after I became PR?
2nd question - Question 17: Absences while employed by a Canadian business .
I am going on approved vacation leave and will resume work after coming back to canada. Do I have to fill this in employment details too?
Since my total is less than 730 days , should I fill question 19?
Did you all give any extra reason for why you are returning to Canada.
Your help is appreciated. thanks
2nd answer: Usually, it is for the people who need to stay outside due to business tours but are working for Canadian business or public service of Canada. You can mention your employment after PR status if they are paying you for your vacation and you are still employed in their books.
NO, you don't have to fill question 19. Your grand total might be less than 730 days, however you have not become permanent resident for 5 years or more.
You don't have to give extra reason to return to Canada as long as you are fulfilling residency obligations.
I will still recommend you to avoid unnecessary travel as there is no specific processing time for PRTD.
Hi Guys,
I am in India now and want to travel to Canada. When I was in Canada in December, I had a virtual landing and got an email with a document stating, you are a permanent resident now. Actually, my status before that email was a Student with a valid student visa and study permit.
I just applied for PRTD today, and my flight is on 28th March. Can someone tell me, if I do not get PRTD in time, can I use my valid student visa and study permit to board a commercial airline, and declare myself as a Permanent resident at the port of entry in Vancouver?

No you can’t. As soon as you become permanent resident, your student permit becomes invalid right away. Wait for PRTD
Hello Quick question.
Applied for PRTD and submitted my return ticket and got passport request. But now I changed my return date.

Just send passport as you already got approval. PRTD will be valid for 6 months.
Could you share your timeline and country where you are in right now ?
It is your choice. As long as your purpose of visit is not urgent, you should avoid and wait for PR card.
There is no specific timeline for any application at this point. No VAC is open in India and you will have to apply by email. Read instructions below. I would suggest you to apply PRTD as soon as you land in India. This process usually takes 1 month according to recent timeline provided by applicants on this thread.
