Hello,

This is a great forum. Hope i could find some information relevant to my complex situation.
I
returned to Canada few weeks before my PR card expired and immediately
applied for renewal via Case Processing Centre-Sydney. Then I got a
notice that my file has been transferred to local CIC office. From local
CIC office I received additional papers to send as I did not meet
residency requirements. I did that. After a couple of months I had to leave Canada due to family issues. After a year, I got called for the interview in Canada. I have applied for Travel document from Canadian embassy abroad. when I checked my on-line status , I found this information...
We
returned your application to the Case Processing Centre on May 13,
2013. The Case Processing Center will continue to process your
application within the normal service standards
I got PRTD valid for 6 months but only to make an appeal in person, if I
want to.  The PRTD  has been issued based on the grounds that I have
been  present in Canada at least once within 365days before the
examination and decision on my status in Canada has not been
solved.Accompanying letter states that I have failed to meet residency
obligations, they considered H&C grounds etc. If I do not appeal, my
PR status will be revoked within 60 days, automatically.

Now, I have received an interesting letter from CIC office to my landlord address in Canada...

As a negative determination of your residency obligation has been made abroad, I no longer have
jurisdiction to make a decision on this matter. No further interviews will be scheduled at CIC
Vancouver Admissions for your application. You are not eligible for a five-year permanent
resident card. Your application has been closed and returned to the Case Processing Centre in
Sydney, Nova Scotia.
As you received a negative decision on your permanent resident determination in CIC office abroad and
have appeal rights, I am requesting a one-year permanent resident card for you. Your card may
be mailed to you, or you will be notified when the card is ready to be picked up. lf, at the time you
are to pick up the card, you have made an appeal of the negative determination, please bring with
you proof of having made an appeal. lf you do not make an appeal, and it is more than 60 days
from the date of the negative determination, you will not be eligible for the one-year permanent
resident card.

Any
ideas what this means as I am beeing issued both PRTD valid for 6
months to make an appeal and opportunity for 1 yr  valid PR card to
attend the appeal?
Based on your experience, how long does it take to be scheduled for hearing and how long the whole procedure would take?
By
chance if I win the appeal, I presume that my residency status will be
resumed, will be issued a new PR card valid for5 years and be able to
sponsor my family to immigrate.Please advise.
Any advice?

Hello,

My case is exactly similar to the one mentioned above by one of the members and would really appreciate the opinion of the forum ..Since my PR card renewal application was denied by the CIC for not meeting PR obligation of 730 days of stay in Canada , I appealed against this decision with IAD in Sep 2013 on Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds and since then my application has been pending .Assuming that my appeal hearing date will be announced soon by the IAD , I applied for the travel documents from Europe in Dec last year where I was few months back , And since I was in Canada once in last 365 days , I was issued a single entry Travel Document to come back to Canada by the CIC .I came back in April 2014 and have been living in Canada since then , waiting for the appeal date .On inquiring with the IAD ,I came to know that the appeal hearing date may still take 8-9 months ..

Few weeks back I gave few job interviews and one of the prospective employers now wants me to travel to U.S. for an Interview and if selected wants me to start the job in Toronto ..As I have only a single entry visa (Travel Document) to enter Canada , I applied for a 1 year PR card on urgent basis to be able to go to U.S. attend the interview and come back .CIC has not opened my file as yet and when Inquired with them through the call center , I was told that ''A second PR card can not be applied for ,if one PR card renewal application is already pending '' whereas their Enforcement manual 27 says "During this time, the applicant is still entitled to a one-year card, where there is no final disposition on the case whether it is at the report stage,if the PR card applicant is the subject of a negative determination under A46(1)(b), where there is no final disposition, the client is also entitled to a one-year card."

Do you think I have any possibility of getting a one year PR card ,if not then what are the other options I have to come back to Canada after attending this interview ..Any urgent reply would be really appreciated.
