Hi,
I'll be flying back to Canada on the basis of a PRTD in June 2017. My PR Card(issued in Vancouver) had expired in October 2013, I have a SIN card(starts with '7') but it must be in dormant state as I didn't use it after I moved back to India.
Me being a minor(9) when they(PR and SIN cards) were issued doesn't make any difference right ?
I wanted to know, for renewing my PR card, do I need to be physically present in Canada ? Can't I file the PR renewal application(IMM5444E) 2-months before going to Canada ie in April or May 2017 ? and upon reaching collect my card.
My aunt lives in Vancouver, can I provide her address in the application form ? And later collect it from her ?
The CIC website states that I need to mail/courier the IMM5444E form to Sydney, Nova Scotia !! Is it the only choice I have, even If I decide to renew the PR card while physically being present in Canada.
I need the PR card to be renewed when I return to Canada, So that I can apply for reactivating my SIN card. This way I can try to find work as soon as possible. And reactivating SIN card is not possible without a PR card. I've read that PR takes more than 93 days to get renewed and sometimes upto 6 moths, how will I manage to stay without work for such a long time, If I need to be physically present in Canada to renew it :/
By the way, How long does it take to renew a SIN card ?
Thanks
Harry
PS a user here "Leon" is helping me out, I thought of starting this thread in case someone else too has the same problem.
