Am i still a resident? can i apply again for residency

[natherika]

I was accepted as a permanent resident in Canada and remain as so till i moved to mexico for the past 20 years. When in 2015 i wanted to visit friends in canada for christmas and ask for ETA (I have french nationality), system told me that i was a resident. Looking for details i saw i was probably not a resident anymore due to the fact that i had spent 20 years abroad, and the system asked me to resign formally to my canadian residency in order to get a visitro visa
I did all the necesarry papers sent them to wher i've been told an a few weeks afetr receved authorization for a visitor visa.
I never been formaly told that i was NOT a resident anymore,
I now wnat to apply again for a permanent residency with two of my dependent children under 19 years old of age, as a self employed person planing to farm in Canada (more than 10 years with that experience in Mexico).
Will I be accepted? If the papers saying I was resigning to my former permanent residenship in Canada went through will they still accept me to apply again?
Thanks

Yes - you can apply again. If you were approved for a visitor visa, then your PR status was formally revoked.

Nonetheless i have a memory that when i signed the papers to get my residency revoked one paragraph mentioned something about the fact that woud no be permitted to aply again for residenship... do you have any knowledge abouot that?

There's no such rule.

on the website it says:
What happens if I renounce my permanent resident status?
If you renounce your permanent resident status, you will permanently change your status in Canada as of the day your application is approved by an officer. You will not be able to appeal the decision to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). You will no longer be a permanent resident of Canada. You will no longer be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship. Any application for Canadian citizenship that is still in process will be refused.

which is why i am in doubt.

What you've quoted states nothing about applying for PR again.

You seem to be confusing applying for citizenship vs PR status.

You are right... I finally understood the quote. Thank you for clearing it.
