Hello everyone, I have a situation and need some advice to help my father. He got his PR card a while back - 5 or 6 years back. My mom was ill and he needed to be away from Canada to care for her. While away, his PR card expired without him meeting the lenth of stay in Canada requirement. My mom passed away about 3 years ago. Subsequent to her death, he got a letter from the Canadian embassy that would have allowed him back in Canada. However, my other sibling adviced him not to return at that time which he never did. I just became aware of the situation and helped him to get a super visa. He is currently in Canada on this visitors visa and would like to remain in Canada as there are no other close relatives back home.
My question is - can he apply to have his PR card renewed/activated while he is here?
I would really like to have him remain here in Canada and would like to know what my options are. Finally, can you recommend a good immigration lawyer that could assist with the forms/application - providing of course he is eligible or stand a change. Thanks very much.
