Respected Mentor,
Your advice is of more important for us than a paid professional. It is very open to state that my to and fro visits to my native country due to regulate my established business and collect pending payments with govt. that were released after completion of tendered services in rural areas. Other my huge property issues were also in sue line. Now all has cleared and I got retired from my job. winded up entire workings after getting completion certificates and came here with a wish to reside here on permanent basis., will focus a responsive care to my family, includes marriages of my children and spend my time with spouse. I request to your honor kindly share your experience about to renewal of my PR status, if any. otherwise other way of new PR spousal application deems fit.
Regards and hope for your valuable advice.
Just In Case Possibility You Still Have PR Status (not likely, but just in case):
As I have noted, and most of what you have posted tends to confirm this, it is near certain that you are NOT a PR.
Some of what you have posted is at least confusing if not inconsistent (which is probably due to things about what has happened that are unclear or at least confusing to you). So it is
NOT entirely certain, however, that you are now a FN and NOT a PR.
If, for example, you still have an appeal pending, that could mean you still have PR status. If so, whether to continue pursuing the appeal, or withdraw the appeal (or even renounce your PR status as
@steaky suggested), is something you should probably
discuss with a lawyer. The viability of successfully applying for PR again is an important factor in this decision making; in particular, if you still have an appeal pending (again, this does not appear at all likely, but just in case you do), you would want to make sure you are actually eligible for family class PR before giving up on the appeal.
I doubt that is an option. I doubt that is an option because it looks like you do not have an appeal pending but rather your status has been fully adjudicated and you are now a FN, NOT a PR.
But I am no expert. I am not a Canadian lawyer or an immigration professional in any sense. And some of the details in your situation are not clear.
As I discussed in my first post here, you can probably confirm you are not a PR by making a call to the IRCC help centre.
More Likely (most likely) You are a Foreign National; Option to Apply For Spousal Sponsored PR:
To be clear, if you are now a FN, not a PR, there is no path for the "
renewal" of your former PR status. You will need to apply for a new grant of PR status. If you and your spouse meet the eligibility requirements, a family class spousal sponsored PR application is probably your best option. An inland application would allow you to remain in Canada pending approval and the grant of PR status.
Again, if there is no appeal still pending, it is almost certain you are NOT a PR. I am reluctant to discuss some possibilities otherwise because they are not at all likely (even if somewhat possible) and would be more a distraction than helpful, tending to cause further confusion.
So, assuming you are now a FN, to obtain status to live in Canada now will require an application for PR status. Not a "renewal" of your former PR status, but an application for a new grant of PR status.
There is another part of this forum where applying for Canadian Permanent Resident status is discussed, and within that a sub-forum for spousal sponsored PR applications. You should find some useful information there.
If you can afford to get the assistance of a Canadian immigration lawyer, however, that would be a far better, much more reliable approach. It is not complicated and many if not most people can do this without the help of a lawyer. However, some of what you have posted here suggests you might be having some difficulty understanding these things and thus it would be a good idea to get some help. And help from a professional is almost always better than what you can get here (no matter how much some of us try to help).
I have not been following the PR application process for many years now (I have been a Canadian for more than a decade and a half now, initially a Canadian PR but then becoming a Canadian citizen just a few days more than a decade ago). So I cannot offer much at all to help you with that process.
Main thing is make sure your spouse meets the eligibility requirements to sponsor you. It appears some of the things
@canuck78 was referring to in their post yesterday (post #7) was related to this.
Otherwise Possibilities:
Again, I am reluctant to go into some of the unlikely but possible situations in which, perhaps (but not at all likely) you do still have PR status pending further proceedings. I would not mention this further except one aspect of your situation, as clarified in today's posts, raises some question. That question is about your current status in Canada. This question arises because you say you do not carry a visa-exempt passport. If you are NOT a PR (which, please forgive the repetition, is most likely) and you are not eligible to be waived into Canada as a visitor pursuant to being visa-exempt, generally there would need to be a more formal application for and grant of status than you have described.
My overall sense is that the important thing is you were given permission to enter Canada, and whatever status you now have, given this, it is likely TEMPORARY pending further application and proceedings, such as either a new application for PR (spousal sponsored most likely) or for some other status (like a formal visitor visa good for multiple entries). So you should not delay in dealing with this.
