Help regarding my application

[Bilal Shakil]

My query is related to the family immigration visa to Canada. As our family applied for the Canadian immigration in 2002 for the five year visa plan and physically we went to Toronto. Due to some personal domestic reasons we were not able to stay there and returned back to Pakistan and our visa and PR got expired in 2007. My father was again planning to move to Canada but he died due to a sudden heart attack in 2008.
Now my mother and my siblings again have made up our mind to apply for the immigration. What I need to ask now is that how can we proceed taking up this matter in consideration for the family immigration. Can this case be reopened again?
I would be grateful if you could provide me with a detailed procedure. And keeping in view that we previously had filed for the Visa and that was successful in status.
Kind assistance and help would be highly appreciated.

If you want to try to save your PR status, you would need to fly to the US and then try to re-enter Canada by land using a private vehicle. Since you have been outside of Canada for well over 10 years, you will almost certainly be reported at the border for failing to meet the residency requirement - which would result in your PR status being officially revoked. If you are somehow able to re-enter Canada without being reported, you would then need to remain in Canada without leaving for two years straight (without leaving Canada) before you would be able to renew your PR cards.

Your case cannot be re-opened.

You most likely have to apply for immigration again from scratch. Depending on your age and the age of your siblings, it's possible you may all have to qualify and apply independently. Details of Canada's immigration programs can be found in the link below. I would recommend you start by reading about the Express Entry program:
