Hi everyone,
My dad is a Canadian citizen and my stepmom had permanent residency status - they were in Canada on/off until 2011 when they went to the Philippines to take care of my stepmom's mom.
They haven't been back since. I know they haven't been in the country in the last 8 years, so I'm thinking she's no longer a PR. And that my dad will need to sponsor her to get it reinstated.
I have a feeling they're going to try for Humanitarian and Compassionate causes as to why she doesn't meet the residency requirement anymore and try to get a Permanent Resident Travel Document that way, but I really don't think it's gonna work.
Anyone been in this scenario before?
