Hello,
My father in law got his PR card about 2 1/2 years ago and shortly after receiving it received a green card and moved to the US. On his last visit to Canada the immigration officer at the border warned him that he might not be allowed back into the country on his next visit unless he voluntarily surrenders his PR card. I'm trying to find out how he goes about doing that. I called Immigration and no one had even heard of being able to do this and suggested that I just put the card in an envelope and mail it back to them which we obviously don't want to do for fear of it being lost. I also contacted the nearest visa processing center to where they live and similarly got the same runaround. Does anyone know what the process should be? He is planning on coming to visit in 6 weeks and is afraid that he will be denied at the border.
Thanks.
