Topic: PR Renewal - Unmet Residency Obligation COVID

as197ha

hi there!

My parents received their PR in 2017 and landed in Canada in Sep 2017 and stayed for 1 year (365+ days). They returned to India in Sep 2018 with intention to return later in 2020, however, they were unable to due to COVID-19 Travel Restrictions and fear of travel in general. They finally arrived in Dec 2021. Since PR is due renewal in Sep-Oct 2022, they will not meet residency obligation and fall short by few days.

Please advise if there is any flexibility Immigration Canada is extending due to COVID travel restrcitions or if there are alternate ways/processes to follow for PR Renewal..

thanks,
