Renounce PR while family applying for citizenship

[imadiq]

Hello ,,,,
I would like to ask a question.
My brother immigrated to Canada with his family but due to his work commitments he didn't achieve the physical presence to qualify him either to renew his PR or apply for citizenship , however his family didn't leave Canada and very eligible to apply for citizenship.
my brother will voluntary renounce his PR card as he doesn't want to misrepresent any documented he has. so my question is DOES his action to renounce his PR card will affect his family application for citizenship knowing that his family didn't leave Canada for the last 4 years ( kids in school)
I appreciate your responses

He shouldn’t renounce until his PR card is expired or he gets reported. It wouldn’t be misrepresenting and it has no effect on his wife and children.

I also think he shouldn't renounce his PR.

On Canada website: "Even if you don't meet the residency obligation, you are still a PR until an official decision is made on your status."

If I were him I'd still try to renew PR card and go from there, especially if he's travelling for work commitments. Every situation is different.

The idea was behind it is every time he arrive to airport the officer pull him aside and write report that he cant renew his PR in the future due his travel and not meeting the physical requirement . Now his PR is expired and he is out of country. My brother know for sure that there is few documentation against him whenever he arrive to Canada but always they let go because his PR was still valid . Now if he apply for renewal I am sure they will get his file with documentation is this Wright ?
Was his easy way is to renounce and apply for visit visa to see his kids every time

As stated above, he shouldn't renounce his PR. Since it's already expired what he needs to do is to apply for a travel document from wherever he is outside of Canada at the consulate and once that is done a report will be issued against him for failing to meet the residency requirement which will lead to them revoking his PR and it's up to him to appeal that decision. Since he wants to give it up he doesnt have to appeal and just let then revoke his PR.

His family can apply for citizenship after they meet the residence requirement. It is not directly linked to your brother

It *may* make IRCC scrutinize the family's RO a bit more since he was out of the country for so long. But if the rest of the family has pretty strong residency proof, then it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
