Regional Case Officer also Inspect PR Residency Obligation?

[Maple66]

Dear all,
Need your expertise, advice and sharing!
Thought lost PR status without meeting 2 year residency obligation in 5 years, Got tourist visa approval, then submitted Spousal Sponsorship PR application out of Canada.
After that, entered Canada, applied for Open work permit (OWP) soon, which is not approved yet for a few months. Then found out I am still PR and started working, very critical to whole family as difficult to find jobs.

Regional Case officer for Spousal Sponsorship PR (which was put on hold now) requested me to start PR card renewal application, though I informed them that I have not lived for 2 years yet and my job is critical to family.
. Can I negotiate with Regional Case officer again requesting if I can start PR card renewal after living to 2 years?

. Are they also very strict with residency obligation to order me to act accordingly?
If the insist me renewing PR card, I will lose PR status then OWP takes time, so I will lose my job? what shall I do?

Appreciate your great suggestions

Very strange that you were able to obtain a TRV. You can try to negotiate but no guarantees. You are now on IRCC’s radar for non-compliance. When did you get PR and how much time have you spent in Canada? In the last 5 years? Assume they want IRCC to determine whether you can keep PR or not and then they would process the sponsorship.

This looks like a situation where a consultation with a reputable immigration lawyer is warranted.

Talk to an immigration lawyer.

How much time have you spent in Canada? In the past 5 years? Have you ever applied for a PRTD? Agree you need a lawyer. Extremely strange and disturbing that you were able to get the TRV.

then submitted Spousal Sponsorship PR application out of Canada.

Are you married to a Canadian PR or citizen?

After that, entered Canada, applied for Open work permit (OWP) soon, which is not approved yet for a few months. Then found out I am still PR and started working, very critical to whole family as difficult to find jobs.

If you are a PR, you are allowed to work - period. Did you ever obtain a social security number when you were in Canada before? That is your social security number - you can use it. (There's a separate topic I won't get into now of whether it has been put on hold - which does NOT affect your right to work).

As others have said: you should probably consult with a lawyer.

That said: I don't think the suggestion you submit a PR card renewal application is incorrect. Start preparing it.
