PRTD refusal - residency obligation
- Thread starter shawnnn
- Start date
Of cause, that's the reason most here agree. A spousal application is 100%. Just cost some time. It's much quicker than appealing with lots of uncertainty
Another vote for her applying for Outland Spousal Sponsorship.
Even if her PRTD had been approved, she would have to wait a long time to be able to apply for a new PR Card. Being a PR in Canada without a valid PR Card (initially) makes life very difficult, if a PR needs a DL, provincial health care, etc., so Spousal Sponsorship certainly seems to be the best and only real option.

Admin note here: she cannot apply until she is no longer a PR, and that basically means IRCC taking care of the administrative part. Complicated further by the current strike.
Personally I would consider completing and sending in the paperwork to renounce to ensure getting the confirmation that no longer a PR, and use the intervening time to prepare the spousal app. I cannot say if this is actually a better option than just waiting though. I recall having seen someone wait for the confimration that no longer a PR for a couple of months, and - to be clear - this is an infrequent enough situation that I won't claim to know for certain of the steps needed.

thankyou all for your responses. I have a question. After 60 days, if my mom don't appeal the prtd refusal, her PR status will automatically be revoked. Is it possible to start the spouse PR application again and after getting the acknowledgement of receipt. can my mom apply for a tourist visa and come to Canada? While her spouse application is in process, can she stay in Canada as a visitor?
Has no idea how long they will take to revoke your mom's pr status, that's why armoured suggests a paper application at the same time to make sure you can apply visitor visa or spousal or application. You can't make both if your mom's pr status is not revoked. But I do remember there is a online portal to revoke PR. Check how to revoke Canadian pr yourself.
Once she is no longer a PR, she can apply for a tourist visa. If she gets approved, she can come to visit. She can stay as long as she is allowed to, including requesting extensions etc (which usually means can stay). Note, there is the possibility that she would not be allowed to enter if clearly intending to stay. But worry about that aspect after getting the tourist visa.
You have to either a) wait for the appeal period to expire AND IRCC to actually revoke the PR status, OR b) you might be able to speed the process up somewhat by renouncing the PR status (there's a form and procedure). Don't know how long this will take in either case, but likely a couple of months either way. You can try to contact the visa section from which the refusal was issued, but as you likely know, getting responses is not easy.
