Hello I became PR in November 2019 and my PR card will expire in November this year and I stayed in Canada 670 days since PR, and stayed in Europe for a family emergency for 580 days in 2021 and 2022. Now, I would like to renew my PR card in April or May this year depends on the days I need to have to be in Canada.
Question 1 - When I entered the days in the IMM5444e, that is outside of Canada is less than 1095 days, so I could apply because I still have the valid PR until November. Should I apply when I have min 730 stay in Canada? Should I be Ok apply with the IMM544e form details? Looks like the form is based on being outside of Canada.
Question 2 - My father had a cancer treatment in 2021 and 2022 in Europe, so I stayed 580 days in Europe straight. I had also a baby in 2022 and I could not travel because of Covid in 2021 and 2022. I am in IT industry and my Canadian company allowed me to work remote outside of Canada that time. I have all the phone number, bank accounts, address etc. in Canada, so my accountant mentioned I am considered as the tax resident, and I paid tax as the tax resident, I am in Canada now, just travelling to Europe once a while to follow up my dad cancer treatment. Still working for the same company. Could Immigration make this is the problem, and start to ask questions being outside of country about these year? Is immigration checking these kind of the details with CRA? Otherwise my days in Canada will be Ok to renew my PR.
Thanks all.
