Hi
Dear concerns,
My PR card is expired in last month and i spend only 480 days in canada due to my family problems in my home country. My mother was expired and now my old father is alone here and ill. Due to that i couldnt complete my no. of days.
My two questions are ;
1. Can I enter in canada with expire PR card? Or Can i get Travel document from local consulate ?
2. Once i entered in canada then what will i have options to renew my PR card?
Now I have plans to go canada on permenant basis. Please suggest accordingly.
Regards;
Syed.
1. If you have only spent 480 days in Canada in the last 5 years, you have lost your PR status.
2. If you card has expired, then you should contact the local consulate, they will determine if your status is lost.
3. If you arrive at a Canadian port of entry, the IO will probably determine that you failed to meet your PR obligation and report you for inquiry. The IO will let you in to Canada and you will have 30 days to Appeal the IAB (Immigration Appeal Board) or the removal order becomes effective.
