Assuming that you do not hold a U.S. passport...one option is to fly to the nearest U.S. airport and then enter Canada in a private vehicle (or on foot).

Just want to add that your PR is NOT expiring; the PR Card expires, but status does not. However...while you will be allowed to enter Canada with your valid PR Card, there's a chance that the CBSA officer will write a 44(1) report for not meeting the Residency Obligation to maintain status...

I suspect that either way there is a waiting period. https://www.welcomebc.ca/Start-Your-Life-in-B-C/First-Few-Days You may have to wait for up to 3 months for your application to be processed. Best to call them...

Their PR (status) is NOT expiring this month! Their individual PR CARD is expiring. Big difference. As suggested, they may have a difficult time convincing IRCC that their reasons or not meeting the Residency Obligation.

Since the OWP is offered because of the spousal sponsorship, I don't know if it restores status. Hopefully someone that knows for sure will chime in.

Criminality and Background comes after AIP. It's a moot point for this thread, based on the discovery of why the OP's AIP was cancelled, but just sharing the info.:)

That is correct, but sometimes...mistakes happen. You could try calling IRCC and hope you actually reach a human, or...wait a couple of weeks as suggested.

Unless she needs to work, I would wait for the PR to be approved. It will save $255 (unless the OWP fees have increased). Since she is out of status, the OWP will probably not give her legal status (only authority to work in Canada).

IMPORTANT: PR status does not expire. The PR Card expires. You are likely already out of compliance regarding the Residency Obligation (730 days for each rolling 5 year window) and could be questioned (perhaps at length) by CBSA when you return. Be prepared for this and hope that you are not...

Which is exactly what @Copingwithlife wrote, correct? Had you not renounced your own PR (because of non-compliance in meeting the Residncy Obligation, I suspect) you would not have been eligible to be sponsored by your Canadian spouse.

You don't need THAT much evidence. No reason to send 24 months of bank statements and credit card statements! That would equal 72 months of statements!!! Just send what is required; two pieces of evidence. One NOA and one statement would meet the requirement, right?

If they can return to Canada via the U.S., they could use their expired PR Cards by entering Canada in a private vehicle (or on foot). They only need a valid PR Card if traveling via a commercial carrier into Canada.

Not sure if sending 3 documents that are all "Most recent..." is the best plan. I suggest sending something that is not in the same time period, since the requirement to maintain PR status is 730 days or more within each rolling 5 year period. Maybe send something from 2021-2022, and something...

But unless he is deemed to be `Removal Ready', why can he not submit an Inland Spousal Sponsorship application after getting married? Inland applicants do not need legal status under the Public Policy...

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/inadmissibility/overcome-criminal-convictions/deemed-rehabilitation.html You do not have to apply to be deemed rehabilitated, but you should be sure you will qualify before you try to enter the country...

Your PR status would likley be revoked for non-compliance in meeting the Residency Obligation. Assuming that your wife and daughter would be moving with you, there's would be at risk as well. Answered in previous post by Besram Really? This would be something newly added, since PR Card...

No. I suggest you decide which is more important at this stage in your life: your career/job, or your desire to obtain Canadian citizenship.

It could open up a Pandora's Box, of sorts. Willfully not declaring your child in your own PR application, is misrepresentation, which IRCC does not embrace. I suppose that if IRCC investigates, your PR could be in jeopardy. but...this is just my opinion. Nothing more.

Here's a simpler way to look at the Residency Obligation that is required to maintain PR status: You only need to have 730 days IN Canada within each rolling 5 year window. If you left Canada in July 2022, you can return to Canada prior to July 2025 and still be in compliance, albeit barely...
