Re sponsoring my spouse and child living outside Canada

[DELHI INDIAN]

Hello Friends,

My spouse and child could not complete residency requirement for PR and their PR cards are got expired and they are living out of Canada, hence they cannot enter Canada. I am willing to re sponsor them. Can someone please suggest steps I need to follow for re sponsoring them.I am Canadian citizen.

Thanks in advance for all help

The only way to re-sponsor them is for them to formally renounce their PR status. Just because their PR cards are expired, it doesn't mean their PR status is lost. Alternatively, they can apply for PRTDs and expect them to be denied. That will also result in loss of PR status.

Thanks Zardoz for your reply. It is making sense that they still hold PR status even if their PR cards are expired. Only worry that I have that if they surrender PR and then immediately apply for new PR , will CIC not questions as why it was surrendered at first place.

Thanks

IRCC will understand that they were not ready to settle in Canada. This is not that unusual a situation for some families.
