Renounce and sponsor again.

[karthicktalk]

Hi - What happens if one renounces their PR (say spouse renounces her PR) for some unavoidable reason.

Can i sponsor her again? Is there any time limit to be followed when sponsored again?

Are there anything we need to consider on this?

Please share your thoughts.

Thank you.

I don't have an answer for you but I would also like to see the responses provided to you. I'm thinking that there shouldn't be a problem since it is your spouse that you would sponsor again. However, I think that there is always a risk that it wouldn't be approved. Maybe the circumstances around the reason for the renunciation of previous PR would play a role in the determination.

Renouncing her PR status will not affect future applications, and yes you can sponsor her again, granted you still meet the eligibility requirements. The rules and process for family sponsorship may have changed and therefore you will have to get up-to-date with the new policies.

No repercussions also means no advantages: she would have to go through the whole immigration process from scratch, with no guarantee in terms of time frame and outcome.
