Hello Syed,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
Regarding your first question,
1. If i need to travel back to Canada i have to prepare Travel Documents; but why in the travel document it is mentioned to declare your current salary outside of Canada.
According to the Document Checklist and the Applying for a travel document (permanent resident abroad) (IMM 5529) guide with respect to employment outside Canada it requires you to provide the following,
Employment outside Canada
You may count each day you were employed outside Canada if your employment meets the following requirements:
-you are an employee of, or under contract to, a Canadian business or the public service of Canada or of a province or territory and
-as a term of your employment or contract, you are assigned on a full-time basis to:
a position outside Canada
an affiliated enterprise outside Canada or
a client of the Canadian business or the public service outside Canada
Supporting documents:
You must provide a letter signed by an official of the business stating:
-the position and title of the signing official
-the nature of the business and how it fits the description of a Canadian business (see definition above)
-details of your assignment or contract outside Canada such as duration of the assignment; confirmation that you are a full-time employee of the “Canadian business” working abroad on a full-time basis as a term of your employment, or that you are on contract working on a full-time basis abroad as a term of your contract; and a description or copy of the position profile regarding the assignment or contract abroad
-confirmation that the business was not created primarily for the purpose of allowing -you to satisfy your residency obligation
You may also include:
-articles of incorporation and business licences
-partnership agreements or corporate annual reports
-corporate Canadian Income Tax Notices of Assessment or financial statements
-copies of the Employee Assignment Agreement or Contract
-copies of any agreements between the Canadian business and the business or client outside Canada concerning your assignment to that client or business
-Pay Statements
-Canadian Income Tax Notice of Assessment
-T4 slips
-Any other evidence that you want to have considered
Regarding your second question,
2. How long does it usually take for the Travel Document after submission to Canadian consulate
You will need to contact the nearest Canadian Visa Office directly to find out the processing time.
Regarding your third question,
2. Secondly on which CIC Contact nos i can enquire about my PR card status from outside of Canada
We have had some of our users previously state that they have been able to contact CIC from abroad by dialing 1 613 944 4000. Listen to the options to get to CIC. Then you should be transferred to the CIC Call Centre.
Please note though that some have reported that it did not work for them or that it is no longer working.
You may want to give it a try.
Long distance charges will apply.
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.
