I applied for a renewal of my PR card on H&C grounds that I became a PR with my parents when I was a minor in May 2006. My parents never returned to Canada after landing and I was forced to remain with them until I was old enough to start university in Canada in September 2010. I applied in February 2011 and had been in Canada since August 2010. I then left in May 2011, the same month my PR card expired. My questions are as follows.
1. What is the likelihood that my PR will be renewed based on these circumstances, in your opinion?
2. I will need a TD to return to Canada in August. What is the likelihood that this document will be issued in your opinion?

1. IMHO you made a bad mistake by leaving, after receiving your PR card on H.& C. grounds.
2. I would think that there is a very good chance that the TD is going to be refused, but you won't know until you apply.
No it hasn't. I am not applying for one. My current PR expires in May 2011 so I still have two weeks to enter the country and reside until news of my renewed PR arrives
You are making your case more complicated and it appears you are doing so willingly. Why not remain inward and collect your PR card first before going outward? Remember your pending application is on the H & C ground and it's treatment is special, whose outcome you can not predict. If you want to avoid an avoidable problem, it is in your best interest to come back before the expiration of the current card you have, collect the new one and after, go to wherever you want to go!
So you left Canada early May 2011 and you are returning May 27, 2011 (just before your PR expires)? So when the IO asks you how long have you been a way, just tell them couple of weeks (3 or 4 weeks). The IO will probably remind you that your PR card is about to expire. Just say: yes, you are aware and you plan to take care of it.
Just answer the questions asked you and you will be fine. Don't go into unneccessary details.
If the IO believes you haven't met your residency obligation, they may report you. If you are reported, you will have to appear before a judge to argue why you should be allowed to keep your PR status.
Typically how long after I arrive will the hearing be? What do you think of my chances of winning the case? If I do not win, will I be issued a removal order and have my PR revoked?
