H&C for my son

[Samir1971]

Dear all,I went to Canada in 2005 with my husband n son. But due to some reasons we came back after 44days.recently me n my husband renounce our pr. But my son who is now 17,can he claim his pr .

Since he was removed as a minor, he should be able to reclaim PR after he becomes an adult (18), if he immediately applies for it. I'm not sure if the same applies when he is a minor or if he has to wait until he is 18.

So does your son plan once 18 to apply for a PRTD using H&C grounds and then travel to Canada to either study or work to then reset his PR status and residency obligation ? It is not really a matter of him keeping PR status but still staying outside of Canada so will he have the financial means or even family / relations support to live in the country as an 18 year old ?

There are a few threads/posts in this forum on the same subject.

There is nothing official stating this exactly but based on previous examples quoted here where children were removed from Canada by their parents then this would be used in any application by the now no longer a minor to retain PR status or at least apply for a PRTD.

In effect as minors they had no choice in the matter so that fact is used as a reason why they should not lose their PR status due to their parents decision. Ultimately each application with these conditions is probably decided on a case by case basis and probably needs solid preparation , so never a given that would succeed.

Also if you read other posts on this subject most would say that for any case to be successful the current age of an applicant can be key generally say not older than 22 . Although there is no official age the older someone gets after 18 where they would be classified as an adult in many places the less likely an approval. Plus if not approved it is likely the result would lead to a formal revoking of PR status

Note above is my personal view only so others can comment/ correct.

Hi thanks for the update - food for thought. Although she is 22 now, so realistically I would think her chances are slim, but may be worth exploring
