Thank you for sharing this info. My husband's PR card expired when he was outside of Canada and he is entering by driving through Seattle border. IRCC has emailed him for a PR renewal appointment in last week of June but we are worried about what kind of documentation he can show at the border to re-enter. Do you recommend any specific documentation?

Thanks for this informative video. One question - if my PR card was issued in 2106, it expired in 2021. I was in Canada for 730 days between 2018-2020. Now it’s 2024, can I apply for PRTD as I have met 730 days within my 5 year PR period? is the 5 year period calculated between 2016-2021 or from 2019-present? Kindly clarify.

Good day, Hello, I'd like to ask about my current status as a former immigrant in Canada. When I was a child, my parents brought me in Canada as an immigrant and stayed there for 4 and a half years. My parents brought me back to the Philippines few months before I almost became a citizen in Canada. I am currently married and still residing in the Philippines. As for mg parents, they are both Canadian citizens and currently living in Niagara Falls, Ontario. My question is, what will be the possible option for me to be able to go back to Canada. Do I have to apply again? Or will it be possible to go back in Canada again? I have many relatives there who are also willing to help me. I hope to hear from you. Thank you
