I am not familiar with your personal circumstances. However, I suppose PR renewal is just $50 per person (and add photograph costs to that).Maybe some of you will encounter the same situation. My parents landed around 2 years ago, they spent their first trip here 6 months then back home and came back for another 6 months. Is it worth it to maintain their PR status here? My parents are now in their 70s, they enjoyed their time here but really don't see the long-term future here. I am debating whether or not to review their PR card after the first 5 years or just forgo it.
There is a potential scenario that one of them is left alone in this world, in which case the one left may want to be with the children. I see several folks waiting desperately to get selected in the lottery and many more waiting for the interest pool to re-open. In short if I were in your shoes I would try my best to convince them to get it renewed.
All the best to you and your family!
