I activated my visa in May 2009, but my wife has changed her mind and does not want to emigrate. Obviously, I will not be able to gain 730 days residency prior to PR renewal in May 2014. Given that I have sacrificed 10+ years in order to get to this position, I am adamant that I want to make Canada my future home. What I would like to do is travel back to Toronto in the future and gain the necessary 730 days prior to PR renewal and subsequent citizenship. So my question is, given that I am from a visa exempt country (England) I would like some advice regarding the best option in which to enter Canada in the future.

Option 1: I could purchase a return ticket and not declare my PR status and stay until I gain 730 days.

Option 2: purchase a single ticket, which could flag my past PR status but plead my case to enter Canada and hope that I don’t get reported.

I would be grateful for some advice
