My sister's ex-husband and son's PR card will be expiring in November this year. They left Canada and went back to his home country right after they received their new PR cards in 2003, and they have never been back to Canada at all. He is planning to go to Canada to renew his and his son's PR card before they expire. He has a couple of questions:
1. Will the immigration officer deny their entry because they left Canada more than six months and never returned since receiving the new cards?
2. If they are allowed to enter Canada, will they be able to file to renew the cards?
3. Would telling the immigration officer the fact that they are entering Canada is just to renew the PR cards hurt their chances of being allowed in?
He has no family or friends in Canada, except his ex-wife (my sister). He has no intention of living in Canada, probably never. However, their son is only six. I believe that he is trying to keep his PR card valid so that he could keep bringing his son back to Canada to renew the PR card in the future. Or in case if in the future he decides to let his son to start a new life in Canada, at least his son would still have a valid PR card. He is worried that the immigration will give them trouble when they enter. From what I heard in the past, immigration may take away their cards because it is clear that they have no intention of living in Canada. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
