If I am still a PR is a goog question, that was the reason why i did the VOS in 2017 and the answer confuses me. and thats why i had the idea to just wait until I spend enough time here and then renew my card.
ever since I got the departure order I had to go through immigation office at the airport and tell my story. I always come as a visitor and I have to apply for eTA every (3?) years. I once spoke with a candian immigration consultan in Germany and he said, that if I can apply for an eTA and get it I can't be a PR at the same time.
But I did another VOS just a couple of weeks ago. hope to get answer befor next christmas
