Hello members,

I got my PRTD application approved but my circumstances changed. My wife and kids are living in Canada and they got their PR renewed and in this July they will complete 3 years stay requirement for citizenship.

I want to ask what is the best option I can have to keep my option open to return to Canada after 3 years for good. My business position does not allow me to move for good now and for this, I am not ready to move. However, the same time I don't want to let go my Canadian ties as I have a property there, paying taxes, wife and kids are settled there.

What option do I have to keep the Canadian residency status option after 3 years from now which I think is the time when I will be able to move for good. During this period, I will have to visit back and forth and my family can also visit me here? And as of now I only have PRTD which is valid for one-time entry only.

Should I surrender my PR status in this visit to Canada or shall I apply for PR Renewal based on H&C ground?

Expert guidance/thoughts are requested. Thanks.

Renounce your PR status, ask your wife to sponsor you as a new PR and move to Canada once you are ready.

Use the PRTD if you want to visit Canada and renounce PR status afterwards.

I am sorry but I have a question for you if you do not mind. How much time did it take you to receive your PRTD? I applied through mail about a month ago and no news, yet. Thank you

This really depends on the visa office you applied. Before the pandemic, I saw people who applied in Islamabad got it in several months.

yes sure. I applied in September and got an interview in October by Abu Dhabi embassy. Got approval after 5 days of the interview. Then I sent my passport for one time visa which took 8 days to return back to me. Total process took around 35 days. The visa I got had 6 months validity from the date of decision made or approval given. If you have more questions, please msg here. I will be happy to share my experience. Thanks
