Can my Son apply for Study Permit (as International Student) if he has expired PR Card

[Tessar]

Me and my family has got expired PR card and have not stayed in Canada as per residency requirements. Can my Son apply for Study Permit as international student ?
If me and my family enter by road from US then what is the process.
Need advice urgently Please.

Tell him to renounce his PR status first.

Simple answer, no. A Canadian PR can't hold a visa or a work/study permit.

Thanks Steaky for your response. Noted that he must renounce his PR status to apply for Student Permit however upon completion of his University in 4 years, Can he again apply for PR ?

Simple answer, no. A Canadian PR can't hold a visa or a work/study permit.

Then what is the other option. he has already received Admission acceptance from couple of good universities.

See above. Renounce PR status and apply as a foreign student, or attempt to legally enter Canada without being reported for non-compliance with the residency obligation requirements.

Thanks for your reply. just if you can please elaborate on "attempt to legally enter Canada without being reported for non-compliance with the residency obligation requirements" How can he do this and what document will he provide to the University who has accepted him as an international student

He will have to apply for Permanent Resident Travel Document from the visa office covering the area that he is living in, or cross the land border between the USA and Canada without CBSA reporting him and starting the process of revoking his PR status.

Applying to educational institutions was premature. You need to sort out his status in Canada first.
