Returning to Canada

[roadmat]

About 28 years ago, my parent and I landed in Canada for just 4 weeks in total and returned to our home country without entering Canada thereafter.

We did not meet the residency obligation to get the PR card. At that time, we were issued with the SIN cards, library cards & health cards. We kept also the record of landing.

Can anyone please kindly advise us

i) the ways we can enter Canada and get PR cards?

ii) if there are any special procedures that we need to do to deal with our incomplete landing in early year?

Kindly let me know if there are further information that I need to supplement.

I'm a bit confused by this statement: "We did not meet the residency obligation to get the PR card" You only landed and received PR for the first time 2 years ago, correct?

i) You need to either fly to the US and then enter Canada through a land border using a private vehicle OR apply for a PR Travel Document in order to be able to fly into Canada.
ii) You should apply for PR cards once you are in Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...w-immigrants/pr-card/apply-renew-replace.html

I think OP is way off from meeting RO.

I think the 2x means 20+ years ago.

i) there is no easy way to "get PR cards". You landed 20 years ago and never have intension to settle in Canada. You do not even come close to meeting your RO (residency obligation, living in Canada for 730 days during the 5 previous years). If you managed to cross via US land border using your COPR (landing paper), it's very likely that you will be reported by CBSA and will be waiting for the appeal process to revoke your PR status.
ii) You finished your landing process back then, the PR card isn't part of the landing process. You became a PR back then just that you never lived enough time in Canada to fill your RO.

Sorry for the confusion. I mean 20+ years ago. We landed but did not stay long enough to meet the requirement of getting the PR cards.

1) can I renounce my PR status voluntarily by Form imm5783 instead?

2) oh, maybe my concept is wrong. I just thought that the RO is to be met in order to get the PR cards. So is it that once I landed, I am already in PR status and can immediately apply for PR card but just I need to fulfill the RO to maintain a valid PR status, is this correct?
