Landed Immigrant from 2001; what is my immigration status?

[agferrari]

Hi there,

I am hoping to get a view and next steps on my immigration status, if possible to re-activate, I would like to consider immigrating to Canada. Here is the background to my question...

I am from India, lived in Dubai with my spouse, from where I applied for PR (for both of us) and I alone landed in Vacouver as Landed Immigrant in 2001 Dec. I have completed all the formalities, there is one page (immigration status) stapled to my passport, stayed in Vancouver for 3 days, before returning to home base. I then moved to Singapore, raised two kids and have been living here for last 15 years. Neither I registered for health nor for PR card at that point of time. Honestly, I wolud now like to immigrate to Canada based on my landed immigrant status of 2001, can you please help advise the feasibility? I know this sounds ridiculous but just wanted to know what options do I have.

best regards

you need to repost in the permenant residency obligatioon section.

However given although technically you are still a PR given PR status is not revoked automatically you have not met the residency obligations so anything you do from here on in when dealing with immigration will probably result in the PR status being revoked unless you can show Humanitarian and compassionate reasons for being away so long although only having stayed 3 days that is unlikely to work even if there were reasons. H&C reasons are very difficult to pursue and the fact in staying only 3 days you made no attempt to establish in Canada does not help.

Bottom line and others can comment you will probably need to revoke your current PR status and start again from the beginning.

Agreed with the above. Reactivating your status will be effectively impossible. I would formally cancel your PR status and then apply for PR again from scratch.
