Hello Everyone,
My parents are looking for some answers. Here's their story:
Our whole family are PR status in Canada since November 2007. This coming November of 2012, our PR cards will expire. All of us children are eligible to renew our PR cards since we meet the 2yr duration required.
However, for my parents, they did not meet this duration. Our family business in our home country demands both their presence there. Long story short, they only have a couple of months duration here in Canada and we know they can not renew their PR cards anymore.
Is it a good idea to surrender/give up/forfeit their PR status before the PR cards expire? If so how do we go about this?
My parents do plan to return to Canada for short stays as visitors (i.e. on Tourist Visa).
We were thinking if they let their PR cards expire, will they have a hard time applying for a Tourist Visa?
Any thoughts on this is much appreciated
