Sorry if this is a duplicate post (I had tried to edit my previous posts and then it said waiting for admin approval or whatever)
Hi Everyone.
I recently was looking through some old papers and found my mothers (as well as her parents) original immigrant landing papers (it looked like it was made on carbon paper) and the page is a light pink colour.
In 1974 my mother and her family immigrated to Canada and in 1982 they left just before my mum turned 16 years old.
My mother told me that she wanted to stay and her parents changed the ticket so that they left before she turned 16 so she couldn't stay.
She always thought that her PR would have been long gone since she hasn't been in the country for so long but she doesn't understand that PR isn't lost until an officer formally revokes it.
My mother travelled back to Canada twice since then:
One time in 1987 and one time between 1997-2000
she remembers on one occasion the officer got angry with her and said something along the lines of: people try very hard to immigrate to Canada and your family was given 2 chances and you blew both. (we are trying to find out if this officer on this occasion reported my mum for not meeting the RO and therefor revoked her PR status??)
Is there any way to find out?
I've not really had any contact with the IRCC other than requesting my grandfathers landing record from the Canadian archives hoping they might have more info on his parents for genealogy purposes but it was just the other side of the carbon copy landing record I already have.
other than that my mother applied for proof of non Canadian citizenship (as we were looking into the possibility of dual German citizenship and they needed that)
other than this we've had no contact or interactions with the IRCC.
If my mother still has her PR then can she theoretically apply for ESTA and fly to the US on an Australian passport and cross by land into Canada as a regular visitor and then after 730 days apply for a PR card?
Otherwise would there be humanitarian and compassionate grounds? she has no criminal records, a good work history, is a registered nurse and her brother is living there right now.
Thanks everyone!
