I hope someone can help me with this question. I'm trying to fill out the PR card renewal application and I'm stumped on question 18:
18. Has an Immigration Officer ever issued you a Report Under subsection 44(1) or made the decision that you have not met the residency obligations required of Canadian permanent residents?
When I last entered, I was a couple of months short of the obligation and the officer allowed me to keep my pr status on H&C grounds. I wasn't given any document so I'm really confused.
I concur in the post by Leon but add a caution: be sure you do not apply for the PR card until you are definitely in compliance with the PR obligation -- this is, be sure you meet the 730 days in Canada in five year obligation.

And to add, try not to leave/re-enter Canada while you don't meet the PR obligations. Even though you weren't reported one time, you may be reported the next time you tried and didn't meet RO. It's a risk each time.
Thank you for your answers. My main concern is the second part of the question, when the officer found I will not meet the obligation, is that equivalent to him "deciding" I didn't meet the obligation?

Question is poorly drafted...answer no....a decision for IRPA purposes must include paperwork including any appeal rights...this never happened for you.
