so is your intention then to get PR and then sponsor your spouse ?Angel_girl said:
I cannot recall at the moment and others can correct if wrong but thought there is some minimum residence rule before you can sponsor a spouse. Plus believe you said you are not an Australian citizen so presumably PR in Australia so assume you have checked out any travel restrictions if any to maintain PR in Australia?
I just want to maintain my Pr in canada aftr marriage. My hubby want to live Australia.i can stay with him as a visitor.whn I maintained my Pr in Australia thn my hubby applied my my Pr in Australia
my husband, 2 children and i got our pr status may 2009. we landed in may 2009 and stayed in Vancouver for a month. we went back to the Phiiippines and never went back to Canada. our pr cards have expired. my husband and i plan to go thru the renouncing process since we dont have plans of living in Canada. since my children were minors when our pr cards expired, do I need to include them in the renouncement process? Would they still have a chance of getting their pr status back if we make an appeal for them?
Also, after I renounce, would it be difficult for me to apply for a tourist visa?

If I completed my 2 years out of 5 in canada and shift to Australia then I am able to come canada anytym I mean my Pr is valid for whole life?

No. As long as you're a Canadian PR you must maintain the residency obligation (2 of every 5 years in Canada) forever. This means if you want to live in Australia with your husband you'll need to keep spending 2 of 5 years in Canada for the rest of your life.
The time doesn't need to be 2 straight years, the time just needs to add up to 2 years over any 5 year period. As soon as you reach over 3 years of any 5 living in Australia, you will be in danger of having your PR status revoked.
But really if you want to live in Australia with your husband who doesn't want to move here, then there doesn't seem much point to try and keep your PR status.
Ok thanxok pls tell me wats the Australian rules after received Pr in Australia how much time I have to spend necessary in Australia to save pr

You shouldn't renounce for your children and if your children want to try to apply to go to Canada later as PR's, they need to do it at age 18-19 and they need to be committed. They'd need to apply for travel documents, stating they were removed as minors and are now ready to return and settle in Canada as adults and after arriving in Canada, they should apply to renew their PR cards and ideally stay for 2 years straight right away to make sure they meet the RO. This used to be a sure thing in the past but has lately been made more difficult where immigration may also look at factors like how much time the children had spent in Canada as minors and how old they were. Surely a child who stayed in Canada for only a month is not going to form any ties to the country. However, it doesn't hurt to apply if they are interested. Maybe they'd get it.
Having renounced PR does not effect applying for a tourist visa in the future. Some would even say that having not lived in Canada enough to keep your PR would make you less likely to overstay.
