Hello. I have question if anyone can give me an answer.
My family and I are a PR, we spent 4 years and 5 moths outside Canada. We are currently in Canada and the PR card will expire after 7 month.
Q1: It is obvious that we cannot meet the residency obligation before the 5 years finish, so are we going to loose the PR status? I understand that the the PR status is not related to expired card and that losing permanent resident status does not happen automatically but i know that to keep your permanent resident status, you must have been in Canada for at least 730 days during the last five years which we do not have.
Q2: We have no intention to renew the PR card however we would like to stay in Canada for 3+ years and then apply for the citizenship. Will be there any problems the time we submit the application?
thank you
