Returning docs denied by CHC Delhi

How long have you been in Canada as a PR and how long did you have to remain outside Canada?
We were there for about one year 1996-97 and as my wife had medical complications during pregnancy could not return within the 6 months from the date of arrival in India. Was blessed with daughter and thereafter approached High Commission for permit with all supporting documents but was denied. We applied again still didn't listen to us. If not me or my wife can my son be allowed entry as he was just 3 years at that time and was not at fault.
You were here 24 years ago and you expected that they would honour your documents, when you by law are required to spend 2 out of every 5 years in Canada?
I know hope is a powerful drug, but this is a bit much.
I was a bit shocked when I see the reply as well. But.... 24 years?? Yeah that's too much.
Not to disappoint you but to reinstate your PR status, your chance is just nil. You can't expect them to process something that's more than 2 decades ago, and is in clear breach of the current RO rule. If you have had some physical presence in the past 5 years, you might have a shot, but based on what you provided, it's 0 days out of the past 1825 days. There is basically no chance for them to consider any H&C ground assuming you have not tried to get in touch with them in the past 24 years.
If you want to come to Canada, you will have to start everything fresh.
PR status for you and your wife is long gone. Forget about trying to get it back. If you want to become PRs again, you'll need to reapply from scratch through a program like Express Entry.
For your son, if he was included in either of your applications to return to Canada that was refused (which I'm guessing he was), his status was revoked and is gone too and he is no longer a PR. So no options for him either. He will need to qualify and apply for PR as an adult through an economic immigration stream like Express Entry.
Thank you @scylla . This is the brutal truth, I didn't say it too direct, but they are right - your PR is long gone.
You simply cannot expect them to pickup your file that's more than 2 decades old and in the meanwhile you are in complete breach of the RO.
IMO - there's no shot here, even with H&C.
They already applied for PRTDs twice by the sounds of it for the whole family and twice they were refused. This means PR status has already been revoked. Once PR status is revoked, too late to get it back for anyone in the family (including the son).
They need to reapply from scratch.
Exactly. And the OP mentioned about their son - but unfortunately if you applied everything together and that was denied, the decision applies to everyone under that file.
Sorry, but you will have to start from ground 0 if you want to come to Canada again.
