PR Card Renewal

If you have an expired PR card and left Canada for the following reasons you may still be eligible to renew your PR card with Humanitarian and Compassionate Arguments:

• Employment reason
• Family Emergency

Of course, there are a variety of other factors to consider. The two points above are given since they are the primary reasons why many people are forced to leave Canada because they do not fit the residence criteria.

Apply for a PR card renewal with H&C arguments and explain to the officer why you were unable to achieve the residency standards.

EMPLOYMENT REASON

Many PR Card holders have been forced to leave Canada because they have been unable to find work. Many people find work outside of Canada.

We can apply for a PR Card renewal and show that you departed Canada after multiple failed attempts to find work in the country. Your permanent abode, however, remains in Canada. That you still have strong ties to Canada and that returning to Canada has always been your goal. The stronger your ties to Canada are, the better.

FAMILY EMERGENCY

Many PR Card holders are compelled to leave Canada because they have family members who require immediate care. Many cultures, for example, expect sons and daughters to look after their elderly. Especially if the elderly is sick and no one else is available to care for them. Another example would be leaving Canada because you have a close relative who is gravely ill and requires your daily assistance. In instances like these, you may be forced to leave Canada, only to return years later. As a result, your PR card expires, and you do not meet the residency requirements.
