Renewal of PR Card for Non-Resident accompanying a Canadian Citizen Family Member
Hello Everyone,
Have searched on this forum and elsewhere on the google, but could not find any answer and hence posting here, since it is related question but slightly different
Here is the Question / Scenario
Me (Canadian Citizen) and my wife (PR Card Holder) have been living outside Canada now for 4 years
1- Since we are living outside Canada, and have no ties or income from Canada, we (both of us) have not applied for any tax returns
2- Now my wife has to renew her PR card, and in the form => Application for a Permanent Resident Card [IMM 5444] (PDF, 858.76 KB) <=
on page 3, it mentions a Tick Box: Notice of Assessment from Canada Revenue Agency CRA
Now, searching CIC website
Quote
cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5445ETOC.asp
Additional documents of proof of residence in Canada in the past five (5) years
Include the following with your application:
Your most recent Notice of Assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency within the past two (2) years. Note: You can view (and print) your tax return, as well as other personal tax information using the CRA’s My Account online service. To register or login, visit My Account.
Notice of Assessment (NOA) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA): If you include your Notice of Assessment, you authorize CIC to verify with CRA the information you have provided – Check “Yes”. If you do not have a printed copy of your NOA, you can access and print a copy directly from the CRA website using the My Account online service. To register or login, visit My Account.
Now my question
1- Do we need to apply for Tax returns ?
2- What needs to be done ?
Second Part is about UCI
since my wife never renewed her PR, and this her first time, so we don't have UCI number, so please correct my understanding, --> this means we can leave UCI number blank or write N/A (not applicable)

What is a UCI?
UCI stands for “unique client identifier.” It is also known as a client identification number (client ID). It appears on official documents you get from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). It has four numbers, a hyphen and four more numbers. (Example: 0000-0000).
If you are applying to CIC for the first time, you will not yet have a UCI. If so, and you are filling out a form that asks for one, write “Not Applicable” or “N/A” in the space provided.
If you are applying online and the form does not allow you to input “N/A,” leave the space blank.
Can anyone help in these two issues. Appreciate it. Thanks |

PR Card Renewal Outside Canada

Hello Everyone,
I have few questions regarding Canadian PR Card Renewal (2nd Renewal)
#1) I am spouse of a Canadian Citizen and Parent of Canadian Children living outside Canada accompanying Canadian Spouse / Children
#2) Due to Covid (Corona Restrictions) I cannot fly back to Canada just to apply for my PR Card Renewal which will expire in August 2021 (We are now in April 2021)
#3) I have filled the PR Card Renewal form with all supporting documents and mailed to Case Processing Centre (From outside Canada) for URGENT Processing
#4) Case Processing Centre received it on 22 March 2021
#5) Using CIC webform I have emailed CIC to check if they have received my application or not
#6) CIC Webform replied on 1st April 2021 with the following:
We have received your request for the urgent processing of your Permanent Resident card (PR card). However, we are unable to proceed at this time because your application is not in process yet.
You may verify the status of your application using the e-Client Application Status (e-CAS) online tool. Once your application is in process, you may ask for urgent processing by filling out the IRCC Web form and choosing Request urgent processing of renewal or replacement card and have already applied located in the drop down menu under the heading Enquiry.
We need approximately 30 days to complete the urgent processing of a PR card.
-------------------
My Questions
#1) What do they mean by "Not in process yet"
Is there a waiting time period before they start processing ?
Is it same as the CIC processing time, as this is confusing
(which one is Processing Time (1) or (2) ? )
(1) you could have waiting time before they start processing the application
(2) once they start the processing of application the number of days required to finish it
#2) I have Photo taken outside canada as per the specifications and requirements
I mean photos for Passport renewal outside canada have almost same requirements like PR Card Photo Specifications
( Stamp address of the photo shop, name, date, etc...)
So is it required to have the photo taken inside canada or outside canada is ok if it as per the specifications
#3) Address given for application process
I have given the local address (Canadian Address) for application process
#4) As of today 14 April 2021 (application was received on 22 March 2021) e-CAS online tool or link application to my GCKEY account doesn't show any application.
Any thoughts ? |
