Shall I Renounce?

[janz1111]

Hello Experts,

My PR card expired last year. I want to apply again for Canada.
Shall I renounce my PR and apply fresh or is there any other way?

Thanks
J

only PR cards expire, PR status never expires so are you saying you did not meet the residency obligation, if so by how much did you fail ? Have you considered arriving via US land border, you may get reported you may not but whatever as a PR you would still be entitled to enter the country. If reported you could appeal if you have good reason to not have met residency, all still a risk to take versus renouncing when you might not qualify for PR again. Are you confident you meet the requirements to apply again ?

If you could meet the residence obligations and wanted to come by airline, then you have to apply for PRTD

Otherwise you best shot is crossing the US/Canada border by land on private vehicle or walking

To do that you will need US ETA or Visa, assuming you're not from a US banned country.

I'd take my chances with crossing g then order from the US first if possible before arbitrarily renouncing. If you aren't reported, you e saved yourself a ton of effort that would go with reapplying.

And if you're reported you'll have a chance to file a case by yourself if you could met the RO or have a strong H&C case
