Expired PR for 10 years

[Eafooa]

I have an expired PR since 2010. Currently, I am outside Canada. Is there a way to enter Canada and live there again?

If you can get a US visa, fly to the US and re-enter Canada by land using a private vehicle. Then hope you are not reported at the border for failing to meet the residency requirement.

If that's not possible then you need to apply for a PR Travel Document with H&C considerations. What are your reasons for having remained outside of Canada for so long and for not meeting the residency requirement?

Thank you for your response.

I arrived to Canada in 2006. I resided there for couple of years, however I struggled with settling in. My parents put a lot of pressure on me to return back home. Today, the situation is different. My father passed away and my mom is much older now and doesn’t rely the people around her. My siblings will be able to take care of her if I were to leave the country.

I have a PHD from a respected Canadian University as well as years of work experience in Canadá. This can help me settle in easier.

I appreciate you for introducing to me the idea of entering the border from US.

In the chances I get reported at the US border, how can I strengthen my case and preserve my PR status? (getting a job, buying an apartment, etc.)

These types of topics are covered in the Permanent Residency Obligation section of the forum. I would recommend you dedicate some time to reading through the posts there and also post any further questions you have there. Good luck.
