Want to invite sister to visit - PR expired please help

[Mahreesha]

Hi Everyobe
I need your expert opinion please help .
I am a Canadian Permanent Resident and living in Canada. Right now I am inviting my sister to apply for her visitor visa by sending her an invitation letter. I understand that I need to show proof of my permanent resident status. However, my PR card has expired ; can I use IMM 5292 , the confirmation of permanent residence as a proof? If not, what other documents may I use other than a photocopy of my PR card?

Please experts opinion will be highly anticipated.

according to my experience of help relatives apply visitor visa, the PR card is not must to show materials, just a letter to explain your status is enough.

Bank statements showing transactions in Canada, utility bills, membership in local organizations, a drivers license......things like that work as well.

Thank you . I hope my expired PR card will not weaken her case if I will attach all these supporting documents .

No requirement for a valid PR card for anything other than travel and the occasional provincial service. A copy of your passport pages with entry/exit to Canada as well.

No problem. People tend to overlook simple things that prove their presence here.
