Hi guys,
I'm a bit new here so I'm not really sure of the processes involved.
I have a situation and I don't really understand what to make of it.
A few months ago I applied for a Canadian Visitor's visa for which I got rejected from due to me having unknowingly PR status so I was sent a document that would let me drop PR status in order to receive the Visa but I want to keep the PR status that I only just found out about.
Apparently 30 years back my Father applied and successfully got PR status for me through sponsorship he had at the same time sponsored my brother.
My brother went through a financial situation where he couldn't be supported so my father was sent in to "default" and so he believed that my application would fail.
He never looked in it to so my documents were approved but I had never gotten the opportunity to receive the PR documentation or the landing documents as I had not been able to travel to Canada at the time.
Now however I would like to act upon the reception of this status though it was a very long time ago I wish to appeal the case in order to either get the status formally seen as lost (to try another application for PR) or to keep the status itself as neither I nor anyone else were aware of the status.
So Far going through the nearest Canadian embassy hasn't helped as they only seem to tell me to relinquish thestatus which is something I really don’t want to do without knowing everything. Is there some way I can get
information on what to do about my status or situation?
N.B. The embassy seems reluctant to give any documentation about my PR status but have confirmed that it exists.
