PR card expired，how can I get a driving license? Urgent help needed.

[td663]

Hi Yujue,
I also have to delay my arrival in Canada after getting PR due to a high risk pregnancy and needing family support. I spoke w a lawyer who has counseled me about how to make it work even years down the road. I will probably try to get a DL before the card expires, and potentially sponsor my child before I am out of compliance. But if you work with a lawyer they may be able to write a letter on your behalf about the compassionate and humanitarian reasons that you were out of compliance.

May I ask for an update on how your process went? Were you able to apply for renewal after you reached two years eventually?

Would appreciate hearing your experience.

Thank you very much Tubsmangee, for you kind help.

It is very heart-warming to get information on the forum.

I am glad I get to know the information, otherwise I may have submitted my application for the renewal of PR card based on "Covid exemption"

you are replying to a post from 2 years ago. A lawyer’s letter will not help. You need concrete proof of why you could not meet your RO like your medical records indicating why your pregnancy was high risk and why it was not advisable for you to travel. That would still only cover a fraction of the period when you could not move to Canada.

Great, thank you. I wasn't looking for legal advice as I already receive it from a professional. I was just looking to hear Yujue's experience and hope she can give us an update.

It seems that many people on this site rush to give out advice when they don't have expertise. It seems built on resentment and dashing people's hopes.

Best wishes for your life in Canada to everyone!

These cases depend on specific details and what level of enforcement is going on. In the first few years of covid IRCC was very understanding with people who did not meet RO so very hard to compare 2022 to end of 2024. Also immigration doors were wide open in 2022 while now Canada is trying to reduce level of newcomers and temporary permit holders.

This is posted two years ago. I entered canada on june 3, while my PR card expiring on June 10. but I think that may be a special policy for Covid.

I heard that Before covid you had to enter into Canada 2 years prior to the expiration of your PR card. (normally unless you can give border officer a good reason)

I don't know about your expiration date of PR card. If it is already expired, you may as well fly to the united states and enter canada through inland border by car.

I stayed in Canada for 2 years to meet the residency obligation. and then filed renewal of PR card and applied for Driving license with the new PR card.

Don't do the compassionate and humanitarian request. it takes almost two years. and you risk losing your PR status. while your lawyer can make money out of it.

She now shared her experience. Hopefully that helps you to make the decision.
