You have 5 years from your landing date to complete the 5 years if this is your first PR card. The expiry date on your PR card is not relevant. Do your spouse and children have PR? You can’t sponsor them if you aren’t compliant with your RO. If not reported yes you must remain in Canada for 2+ years to become compliant.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply
My wife and kids have PR as well.
1. Is there a possibility that we might get questioned by immigration officer upon landing.(as we all came for landing and stayed for a month and went back.?
If yes , what can I tell?
2. If we are allowed to enter, when should we apply for our PR renewal. Is staying atleast for 2 years noy one of the eligibility criteria to apply for renewal of PR card?
We stayed only for one month. If this is the case what should I do?
Help would be appreciated.

1. If you haven’t met your RO there is always a risk of being reported and/or questioned at the airport.
2. You will always be able to enter as a PR. You will need to wait until you have met your RO to apply for your PR card renewal. In your case it looks like you will need to remain in Canada for the next 2 years before you are back in compliance with your RO.
