Hello,
Subject:
These queries are in advance about maintaining (or extending) PR status without potentially completing the 730 days obligation.
Background:
Based on past travel within the 5 year span, my mother can only afford to stay out of Canada for 10 days in order to honor the 730 day count within 5 years. She has completed half that.
There simply aren't enough days left in the 5 year span to exceed 10 days of international travel.
However, her father's health has significantly taken a turn for the worse which requires her physical presence as she is the eldest and his physician. The total stay outside Canada could exceed 2-3 months.
My mother is settled in Canada - has a job, has acquired training & certification, has a mortgage and dependent spouse.
She will likely travel in July 2018 and return to Canada after 2-3 months (before her PR card expires)
Queries / Concerns:
1. Is there any way to get PR extension before travelling outside Canada? And so is there any benefit in alerting CIC prior to departure?
2. How does one apply on compassionate and humanitarian grounds - while in or outside Canada. Is this case applicable here?
3. What would happen if she returned to Canada before her PR card expires but is unable to fulfill the 730 day obligation at the end of the 5 year span?
4. What are her options? Desire is to maintain PR status, continue on career path and settlement in Canada.
Additional information:
Date became PR: June 15 2014
PR card expiry: July 23 2019
Guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
