	Well, obviously, CIC has some questions about you, probably (but I do not know for sure) about compliance with the residency obligation. Easy to see why. 900 days is less time in Canada than outside Canada. That tends to suggest at least the possibility you were outside Canada even more than that. So CIC wants to verify your information. Over the course of years we actually had very few reports from PRs going through this, then in the last year or so we finally had people sharing their experience here. Unfortunately, though, not enough to draw any firm conclusions about how it goes, how long it takes, what to expect. For one thing, I believe it can really vary a great deal, since the reason for the questions can vary a great deal, backgrounds vary, facts relevant to time in Canada vary extensively, and generally, the lives of PRs who have spent more time outside Canada than in Canada tend to more complicated, more difficult for CIC to sort their way through. So I do not know how long it will take. Just follow the instructions. Be truthful. Be prompt. In the meantime, if you are comfortable with proving compliance with the PR residency obligation (I would carry significant documentation with you, and for sure the key information, places of residence, employment, and so on), there is nothing to restrict you from traveling abroad. Traveling home by commercial transportation will require a PR travel document, but if you are in compliance with the PR residency obligation that should not be difficult, inconvenient, yes, but not too difficult. And you can always approach a land crossing POE by private vehicle and obtain re-entry even though you do not have a currently valid PR card.
	Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions. BTW: Not an expert, not a Can. lawyer, never worked in immigration

	zqhhzq, in your other post you mentioned that you were outside Canada (while signing) but filled you application with Toronto as the city of signing.(through your consultant) so If you send your passport pages now, they may find out that you were outside canada but you mentioned that you were inside while signing the application. my reply is not to scare you, but you need to be prepared for this scenario. perhaps senior members will clarify this.
