Subject: HELP:Renewing PR card on humanitarian grounds
  Hi, I have some questions about PR residency obligations and renewing the permanent residence status on humanitarian and compassionate grounds – please I need your help!!!
So my case:
I am Bulgarian, 33 years old, man.
05.2005 – I arrived in Canada
02.2007-became a permanent resident
I met a girl in Canada also Bulgarian (with Canadian passport) we lived together (common in law), but she decided to do business in Bulgaria and went back to Bulgaria and I went back with her on 02.2008.
We lived together until 07.2009. We broke when my mother became ill from lung cancer and I need to relocate – I went back(alone) to my home town in Bulgaria to take care of my mother.
tumor operation, then inheritance procedures
Unfortunately on 07.2011 – my mother died 
At the meantime I met another girl another love and I have new born baby on 10.2011, I intend to marry her and to sponsor her and my baby to come to Canada. But before that I need to go back to Canada and renew my PR card on humanitarian and compassionate grounds., because I do not meet the residency obligations.
So what do you think, can I apply for renewal on humanitarian and compassionate grounds? Do I have any chances?
My PR card is still valid, what I’m supposed to do at the airport in Canada when I arrive?, do I need lawyer there?
How long it takes to apply for renewal PR on humanitarian grounds?

You know that is very hard for me to leave my future wife and my baby alone. But I want to renew my PR card, to sponsor them and to settle with them in Canada.
Please, give me some advises, anything which can help me. A good immigration lawyer and etc.
Thank you in advance.

When I count my days in Canada:
from 02.2007 to 02.2008 - 365 days
from 02.2008 to 07.2009 - 500 days - but accompanying a Canadian citizen who is my common-law partner
total: 865 days
So I have the days - but how to prove that I lived with Canadian citizen (in Bulgaria), at this moment we are separated, ok she resides in Canada, if they asked her she will confirm. Is this enought?
It seems to be the easiest way.
Please I need your help!

how long ago did she move back to Canada? Was she working there for a Canadian company?

you will likely need to prove your cohabitation, her employment etc. A confirmation is not going to be enough for obvious reasons.

I think CIC is going to give you some grief. Your time in Bulgaria might not count.

Hi, Sharon what do you think about this:
"There are some exceptions to the 2 years in 5 rule. If a permanent resident is outside Canada accompanying a Canadian citizen who is their spouse, common-law partner, or parent, then this time counts as being resident in Canada."
I will show rent agreement, declarations from friends and pictures which can prove our cohabitation.
And if there is a problem can I renew my permanent residence status on humanitarian and compassionate grounds?
Thank you!

I am not going to debate this with you. Give it a try and see what happens. You might get lucky.

Bulgaria is a nice country with lotsa fruits and fresh veggies and great opportunities as they move into EU!!! Why you want to come back to Tundra??? beats me!! CIC is likely to be cynical when it comes to believing your evidence; the most serious issue is: you haven´t continued to live with your common-law lady after she showed up back here. On top of that, you have actually severed your relationship with her and went on to be with another woman.... this can bring CIC heavy on your argument that you spent such and such time with the citizen and all that. If you had been MARRIED to her during that time, would have given strength to your argument thru marriage license and divorce papers. Heck, you could even sock her to the tune of a few grand in support.

Hi there, In 2006 my parents came to canada with family immigration and after a month after receiving there pr card, they went back to Bangladesh for my brother´s final exams. After going back my dad had a brain stroke and became partially paralysis and was unable to travel. Though me and my brother later came back to Canada but my mother stayed back to take care of my dad. In 2010 when my dad´s situation was getting worse, my mom contacted consulate and informed abt the whole situation. In 2013 Jan, my dad passed away and my mom got travel document on humanitarian grounds. I am wondering whats the next step for her when she comes back to Canada? since she was not in canada since 2006, should she apply for renewal of PR card or should she apply for pr again?
