A Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) allows permanent residents of Canada, who do not have a valid PR card and are outside of Canada, to return. When applying for a PRTD, some individuals might need to rely on Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds if they do not meet the typical residency requirements.
Residency Obligation:
Permanent residents must live in Canada for at least 730 days within the last five years.
Failure to meet this requirement can jeopardize PR status.
Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Grounds:
Applicants can present H&C arguments if they are unable to meet the residency obligation.
H&C grounds consider factors like:
Family ties to Canada.
The best interests of any children involved.
The reasons for extended absence (e.g., medical emergencies, family crises).
Hardship that would be faced if the PR status were lost.
Application Process:
Submit a detailed application explaining why the residency requirement wasn’t met.
Provide supporting documents (medical records, affidavits, etc.) to strengthen the H&C argument.
The decision is at the discretion of immigration officers, who assess the individual circumstances.
Importance of Strong Arguments:
A well-prepared H&C application can make a significant difference.
Akrami & Associates can help articulate the case effectively, ensuring all relevant details are presented. Using H&C arguments in a PRTD application allows individuals facing exceptional circumstances to maintain their PR status and return to Canada.
