Hi all!
I am a Canadian citizen and I want to renew the PR card of my wife who was a PR before in Canada but her PR card expired as she barely stayed only 2 weeks during the 5 year period. We both got married outside Canada and we are currently working in the US and planning to return to Canada next year. I don't know if I can revive her existing PR status or if I should submit a new 'Spousal PR' application because her PR status was obtained (and expired) before I even met her. She became a PR in 2018 and her card expired in 2023 as she moved to US in 2018. I moved to US temporarily for work in 2023 and I met her and we got married in 2025. We never lived together (or even met) in Canada.
Just wanted to understand what our options are in this case as we have to go back to Canada in 2026 (my work Visa validity). Please advise. Thanks!
