My father is trying to come to Canada to visit me in May but when he applied for an eTA he has been asked to submit a form to 'voluntarily renounce permanent resident status'. He worked in Canada in the 80s nearly 40 years ago for less than 2 years therefore assumes he does not have PR status.
Has anyone else experienced this? On this form (IMM 5782 E) one of the questions asks for 'The number on your Record of Landing, Confirmation of Permanent Residence or Permanent Resident Card'. He does not have this number. Does he need to apply for 'Verification of Status (VOS) IMM 5009 E' in order to get this number?
Any other information welcome as I am running out of time to get this sorted - have not seen him in 3 years!
