Hello,
Anyone applied for visit visa after their PR card expiry? The PR card expired a year ago and want to travel for a business visit to Canada. I am assuming I cannot apply for PRTD but the below confuses me.
Losing your permanent resident status does not happen automatically.
Hello,

The real question is whether you are compliant with your residency obligation (two years of last five in Canada, basically); and, if not, whether you wish to retain your PR status or not.
If you're compliant with the residency obligation, there's not really a significant risk in applying for a PRTD.
If you've no desire to remain a PR, yes, you can renounce it and apply for a visitor visa.
In between those two it gets a bit complicated with a lot more words.
How long have you been out of Canada and what do hyou want?

You can't apply for a visitor visa while you are technically still a PR. You would need to officially renounce your PR status first before you can apply for a visitor visa.
Think we've provided all we can. If you don't wish to retain your PR status and wish to get a visitor visa, renouncing your PR status is a viable option.
