Topic:
Return To Canada Without PR card - PRTD?

I also have similar query.


We have applied for Permanent Residence (2 applicants) from Canada as CEC Inland applicant. Currently we have sent our passports to Ottawa CPC for Landing VISA and if everything stays alright, we are expecting to complete the landing formalities ASAP.

However, I have a travel plan to India on urgent basis soon after landing. Since it will take times to receive my PR Card and I will not get it before travel, I am thinking about applying for Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) for returning to Canada (via air). While checking IMM5524E form, I have the following query regarding RESIDENCY OBLIGATION section:

I am working in Canada for last 3 years and residing on Ontario since September, 2014, which is more than 1000 days. However, all this time I spend as a Closed Work Permit holder. Now if I apply for PRTD after becoming Permanent Resident (expectantly this month end or November), does this then meet the required Residency Obligation as specified in this form.

Kindly help me in this regards.
