Imigrating back to canada after 10 years

[William.O]

Hello, my name is William. I'm 19, I live in Belgium and I am close to finishing highschool as a graphic designer.
When I was 6 me and my dad moved to Canada, we lived there and I went to school there for almost 3 years until we came back to Belgium.

Now that I've almost finished high school I would like to go back to Canada to live and work there, I have a PR card but its been expired for 10 years.
I would like to know what I have to do to be able to live there again, I don't know if I can renew the PR card or if I need to get a new one since I haven't lived there for 10 years.

Thanks in advance.

You should be posting your question to the Permanent Residency Obligation section of the forum for the most comprehensive advice.

The short answer is that you will need to apply for a PR Travel Document citing H&C considerations (i.e. that you were removed from Canada as a minor and this wasn't your choice). Apply now and there's an excellent chance you will be approved. If you wait another year or two - the chances of approval will start dropping quickly.
