CIC might let you do the sponsorship route if you are a Canadian citizen
Oh but this is definitely a longer process than to apply for a new PR right?
Is there a change they might let her to the PR or they will for sure ask her for sponsorship?
thanks

Your questions are very unclear. What exactly are you asking?

Sponsorship leads to PR. What do you mean let her to the PR? Do you mean apply for Pr card if she already a PR? If she hasn't met the residency obligations, then she has to wait to apply for a new PR card. She must be living in Canada for at least 730 days in the last 5 years for that.

I read that sponsorship takes longer compare to someone applying for a new PR.
Her PR will expired (cannot renew-doesnt have the residency requirement), so if she applied for a new PR, will CIC allow it or will ask her to apply for sponsorship?
Sorry for the confusing
Thanks

If she can not renew PR that means She have Already missed that Opportunity so she have to Apply for It Again Or Unless Lawyer can make an Appeal on her Behalf to CIC.
If She will Apply for it Again then She will go for a new time Period that is Applicable for all new Applicant.
I think you should make it little clear that why she is Unable to Renew Her PR ?.
Is it Due to Time Period that she Spent out of Canada or any other reason.Then Someone might have same situation in past and can help us.

More detail is here.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=727&t=4
She cannot renew because of her profession.
She was in Canada 1 year over the past 5 years.
I saw the processing time for new applicant (PR) is 45days. Just concern how CIC will respond to this.
Any idea what is best for her to come back?
Thanks Garry

That processing time is for those who have just landed and are getting their PR cards for the first time. Your wife is not in that category.

She would need to apply for a PRTD (if she requires a visa), and since that would be refused, she would lose her PR status. Then you can sponsor her.

You have asked these questions several times, the first time back in May 2014. The answers remain the same. If she really wanted to keep her PR status, she should've come in May, while her card was still valid. Her chances of not being reported get smaller and smaller the longer she remains outside of Canada.

In Her situation i would suggest you to consult a lawyer although he will charge a fee but it can also save time.
If lawyer can come to an approach to show that there was a serious reason .

Time spent outside Canada may also count towards the two years if you are:
An employee of (or under contract to) a Canadian business.
As per the link i have posted.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=727&t=4

can maintain his/her PR but you must check it with Lawyer.
He might charge $100 0r $150 consultation fee but it will save lot of time.
Make sure he/she is not a immigration consultant.he must be an immigration lawyer to make an appeal.

Otherwise she need to start the process from beginning and you know it takes lot of time.
If she was employed by an Canadian business and was away to work with them then she can Appeal.

If her PR card is already expired Then Officer can decide on port of entry weather to let her in or not.But most chance are they would not allow to enter.
Thanks Garry....will try that.

Has her PR card expired already? Why can't she try entering Canada before it expires? It would save you a lot of hassle and money.

I asked that same question 2 pages back.

If she is able to enter Canada, she should stay in Canada for at least 730 days.

Apply outland! Ignore the previous post about the pilot program for inland applicants. You can continue to work on your working visa, so long as it is valid. Odds are the PR process will be done long before the work visa expires.
