Topic: Question: Travel Document

silentsky1111

Hello!

My parents have landed in Canada back in July 2012 and left Canada around the same time so they can take care of my grandmother and she wouldn't be alone by herself.

With that being said, they did not stay in Canada in the last 10 years and they did not get any PR card but just a landing paper on hand.

Right now, they would like to return to Canada for retirement.

Since they did not fulfill the residency obligation, is there a chance that they can still keep the permanent resident status and return to Canada?

I was being told that they can try to apply for Travel Document to see if the officer would make exception for them to return with valid Humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

What supporting documents are required in order to make that happen?

And what would consider as a valid reason?

And if they are declined for Travel Document, are they still allow to come to Canada for visit?

Any advise is greatly appreciated!
