Visiting PR

[rbpanlasigui]

I landed in Canada as PR in 2005. I have not complied with the 730 day residency status.
Now I plan to go on cruise with my wife which will pass Canada for one day in October 2019. I need to secure a Canadian Temporary Resident Visa. Do I still need to formally renounce my PR before I apply for the TVR? I might not have enough time if I need to wait for the approval of my PR renunciation.

What do you suggest? Do I apply for the TVR without renunciation ? or apply for the renunciation and TVR at the same time.

Please help.

Yes - you need to renounce your PR status before you can qualify to apply for a TRV. I would hurry and start the renunciation process asap, you are very short on time. Ideally you should submit the renunciation several weeks (ideally months) ahead of the TRV application.
