Applying for Work Permit if I had a PR but had not completed residency obligations

[mYusuf]

Hi,
I had received my PR in 2001, had lived in Canada for 6 months but had to move back because of my parent's failing health and had to provide care (I had submitted medical documents when I had applied for RRP (Returning Resident Permit) which was denied. Anyway, since I was not able to come back to Canada for the next 5 years I assumed that my PR had expired as I had not maintained residency obligations.

Can I now apply for a Work Permit or do I have to first revoke my PR and then apply for the WP?

Regards

1. As you applied for RRP and it was denied and you didn't appeal, you are no longer a PR.
2. So you can apply for a work permit now.
