Good evening;
I became a permanent resident of Canada in 2006. My PR card expired in March 2011.
I last left Canada in December 2009 (personal reasons + required treatment) and haven't been back since. I didn't meet the 730 days required.
From what I've read in other posts:
- I could try to enter Canada by car through the US, there I SHOULD be allowed to enter (though the officer could just deny entry)
- If allowed through, I will probably be asked to explain why I was gone for so long
- I may be reported to CIC, in which case I would need to appeal the revocation of the PR within 30 days. If I lose, I need to leave
- I may not be reported, in which case I would have to wait two years (730 days), without leaving Canada, before re-applying -- in that case, renewal should NOT be an issue
Is this correct?
Thanks;
Neuroticdan.
