PR RENEWAL INQUIRY

[sidrashahid]

I landed in Canada in July 2005 and stayed for one month got my PR card then went back to my homeland due to family reasons.

My PR card expired in July 2010. Now I am able to go back to Canada and settle down.

I would like to renew my PR card and maintain it.

The only information I know is about the Permanent residency travel document but I am not eligible for it since I do not fir the 730 days requirement.

What is the solution then?

Please help! Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately you have to put new application under eligible category.

If you are outside of Canada then your PR status is gone. You will have to apply for PR again from the start. If you don't qualify to apply at this time, then you will have to wait until you do before you can apply again.

I am sure for all these years, you have been working and making your ends meet. If you have a good job, please my advise is stay there and enjoy life. Here you have to past through a lot of things, so good enough you went back home.

Even if you have to re apply you may no qualify under the new rules.

So be happy and enjoy life where you are.

This is only my opinion.

He will have to somehow get rid of his current PR status before he could reapply.
So, either
a) he should apply for a PRTD and be declined, then fail to appeal (on the basis that he has almost 0% chance of winning), or
b) make his way to a land crossing via the USA, somehow, and expect to be reported. Then again fail to appeal.

Of course, if by some miracle, he gets in via a land crossing without being reported, then he is still a PR and must stay for at least 731 days in Canada before applying to renew. (Chances of this happening are almost nil).

This all presumes that he is not visa-exempt. If he can sneak in as a visa-exempt "visitor", then the miracle has happened.

I don't think this has any chance of working. If he was from a visa exempt country - then there would certainly be a chance. However since he's from a non-visa exempt country and his PR card has also expired, I think there's extremely little chance he can successfully enter Canada from the US. He should expect to be denied entry.
