PR STATUS RENOUNCEMENT BY FAMILY SPONSOR

[Uazi]

Hey guys, I'm in need of help to a few question.

I am currently a permanent resident residing in Canada for three years. I am 20 years old. My mom sponsored me to come to Canada when I was 16. My mom is a permanent resident as well. If my mom decides to sent me back to my home country is it possible for her to renounce my pr status? Can I sponsor myself or apply for my pr since I am already here?

You are already a permanent resident. The only person that can renounce your PR status is you. Your mother cannot send you anywhere. as you are a legal adult.

You're 20 years old, you can take control of your own life and choose not to go back to your country. Your PR status is void only if you're out of Canada for more than 2 out of 5 years.

As others have mentioned, you are a PR in your own right. You can stay in Canada and your mother can do nothing that would impact your status.

In fact... You would soon qualify (if you don't already) to become a Canadian citizen. PR status can be lost if you don't meet a residency obligation and steps are taken to revoke the status. Citizenship does not have such a residency obligation.
