Hello. I am a permenant residence card holder who is living currently in somalia. I recieved the the PR card july of 2016 and i have left canada on august 5th of 2017 at the age of 16 to somalia for the sake of my very ill grandmother and i have several questions that needed to be answered for me to safely be sure that i could return back to canada so i could continue my education that i never finished.
1. Would i need a PRTD to return back to canada even tho my PR did not expire.
Because im pretty sure there arent any canadian embassys in somalia.
2. Do i meet my PR Obligation ?
After i recieved my PR i have stayed in canada for 1 and now i have been outside of canada for 2 years.
3. What happens if i didn't meet my PR obligation ?
I was only 16 at the time we left to somalia , i wasn't aware that my parents would keep me here and a possibility of me not returning and absolutely not being told that i would have to return to canada during a specifc time to retain my PR status.
4. When does my PR status expire?
For most people its 5 years but since i left my parents have been hiding my PR card from me and insisting me to stay in this hell of a country which means i have no clue when my PR expires.
I would need urgent help and answers to return to the country i have been raised in as its not smart of my stubborn parents to keep me hear with no quality education and highschool certificate. Unlike my other family members i am the youngest one when we settled here and im pretty canadian but me being here saddens me everyday that i don't have any formal education so i would appreciate the help i would recieve.
