Is there a way to resume your pr status after you have given it up?

[tyhcyq]

My parents and I immigrated to Canada in 2009. I am now a Canadian citizen but both of my parents couldnt fulfill the residency requirement for two years within the five years because they were still working in their home country at that time. so they had to give up their pr status in 2015

Now they are both retired and both have strong residential tie in Canada(own property, staying in Canada for 6 months every year as visitors) Is there a way to apply for resuming their PR? if this is not possible, will it be more difficult for me to sponsor my parents under family sponsorship?

You will have to apply for PGP like everyone else. There will be no negative repercussions if your parents have previously lost their PR.

There is no quick way to "restore" it. Since it's been revoked in 2015, you will need to qualify (3 years of income for the family size) and submit your interest to apply for the next PGP lottery.

They will need to pass health and police check just like any other parents who have never been a PR.
