PR expired

[maroon5]

How can I renew my PR card from overseas without flying to Canada?

And how long is a spouse who is a Canadian citizen a sponsor to the spouse from abroad? I divorced my husband and he threatened to drop his sponsorship telling me that if he does that I will lose my PR status because I don't live in Canada anymore.

I am also accompanied by my child who is a registered Canadian citizen but does not have a passport at hand. Does that count as being with a citizen and would my days outside Canada count as if I were IN Canada???

How can I meet my PR obligations while in this situation??

You can't

Depend which visa office process the application. If you are already a PR and your PR card is expired, he can't drop your sponsorship. You can only lose if you cannot maintain your residency obligation as a PR.

I am also accompanied by my child who is a registered Canadian citizen but does not have a passport at hand. Does that count as being with a citizen and would my days outside Canada count as if I were IN Canada???

No

First apply a travel document from your nearest Canadian consulate/embassy. Then come and live in Canada or employed by a Canadian company and work in your country

Not possible. You can only apply to renew if you are in Canada. Renewing takes about 4 months right now (or it did last time I checked).

And how long is a spouse who is a Canadian citizen a sponsor to the spouse from abroad? I divorced my husband and he threatened to drop his sponsorship telling me that if he does that I will lose my PR status because I don't live in Canada anymore.

He is lying. If you already landed as a PR, he can not cancel your PR status but you can lose it if you do not spend at least 2 years in Canada in every 5.

I am also accompanied by my child who is a registered Canadian citizen but does not have a passport at hand. Does that count as being with a citizen and would my days outside Canada count as if I were IN Canada???

No, being with a citizen child can not protect your PR because it is you who decide where you live, not the child. If you were the citizen and had a PR child with you, the PR of the child would be protected. The PR of a spouse is also protected if they are living with a Canadian citizen spouse.

Like steaky says, go to the embassy. Apply for a passport for your child and if your PR card is expired, apply for a travel document for yourself. Then go to Canada, apply to renew your PR card and make sure you stay long enough to meet the residency requirements.

Yes, you can withdraw your application. Other people on this forum have said they have done it and it has worked for them.
