Hi,
I am in the process of applying a PRTD, and have filled the first section of 14 questions,which are my personal details and my questions are regarding the second section i.e. residency obligation sections. I got my PR last year with a validity of 1 year ending on 03/13/2015, and I landed in Toronto on 02/06/2015 to complete the landing formalities and returned to my home country due to personal reasons on 02/20/2015.
I still have 4years 3 months left to satisfy my residency obligation, my questions here is should I just enter the information as stated below with appropriate proof's or provide H&C reasons as well? My assumption is H&C reasons are needed only when I am sure that I don't meet the residency obligation and/or have lost my PR status and want the visa officer to consider my case on H&C grounds. Since I have been a permanent resident for less than five (5) years, I can satisfy the residency obligation criteria of 730 days from the remaining 4 years left and don't think I need to take support of H&C. Please advise.
Here are the details entered in the application form:-
#15, Time spent: I have entered the dates as per my passport stamping which is a total of 15 days along with the residing address. I am sending my passport along, which serves as the proof for the duration I stayed.
#16, Accompanying a Canadian citizen or permanent resident outside Canada: My option is 'NO'
#17, Employment outside Canada: My option in 'NO'
#18, Humanitarian and compassionate grounds: Not entered anything as yet.
I am bit worried as the checklist IMM5627E classifies only the supporting documents for the above three questions as a proof to meet residency obligation. If I don't furnish the H&C grounds, I am assuming I have nothing in my case for the visa officer to consider. Will COPR be the only document that I sent with my application in my case? I fear that the visa officer may reject my application for want of proof for the questions above. From what I have filled, will it satisfy the requirements to have my application approved? Is satisfying one of the above questions a mandate to have the application approved or simply based on the duration I have the residency obligation will be met?
Also I would like to know if I should share the original documents as supporting documents or will a photocopy suffice? What if they retain the original documents like the COPR in case they declined my application?
Thank you for looking into my question, your advise is much appreciated.
Regards,
Syed
