Hi Sir/Madam,
I am an 60 year old lady and have been approved for Permanent Residence based on Humanitarian & Compassionate ground. I do live in Canada. When I check my PR Card application status I find it's as still "IN PROCESS". My husband passed away recently overseas and I do like to go back to my home country. I am not sure if I will be able to come back without any issues. Please kindly advise. Thanks in advance.....

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation with us. We are sorry to hear about your loss.
If you leave Canada, in order to return to Canada, you are required to have a valid PR Card or a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) . It is likely you will have to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) at the nearest Canadian Visa Office.
Some of our users have stated that they have had friends or family who are residing at the Canadian address that they provided, forward their PR Cards on to them via a safe/secure method once they have been processed and sent to the Canadian address they provided.
Therefore, it is important to note that if you are outside Canada and you would like your friend or family member to send it to you, it is important that you are aware of the risks of it being misplaced.
This is why it is important to choose a service that is secure and that allows you to track the whereabouts of your package.
It is also important to note that if you are outside Canada and you would like your friend or family member to send it to you, it is important that you are aware of the risks of it being misplaced or possibly seized.
If they will be carrying it for you, you may want to provide them with a letter giving them authorization to bring it outside Canada to you.
We strongly contact the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre again to confirm this information and to find out what your options are at this point.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
