Entering after 4 years on PR - Child US Citizen

Hi all –

My, my wife and kid got PR in 2012.

Official Landing was in May 2011.

Last entry date as PR was on Jan 1, 2013.

So, me my wife and my older kid all have our PR cards valid until 2017.

And in 2013, our second kid was born (US passport) ,and ever since we have not visited Canada.

Due to my wife pregnancy, surgery etc. Now, we plan to visit Canada and move permanently sometime in July 2016. Below is our status

me - PR card
My wife - PR card
older kid - PR card
younger kid - US citizens

I know its not easy, but what are our chances of getting entry into Canada?

What issues might we face at the Port of entry?

Any chances at all?

Please suggest.

Thank you for being patient in reading this.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation with us.

We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.

When it comes to fulfilling the residency requirements, it has no correlation with the expiry date on the PR Card. The fact that a PR Card has not expired does not mean that a person has fulfilled their residency requirements.

You can find information on the process that is followed when entering Canada at the Port of Entry, in this Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) ENF 23 - Loss of Permanent Resident Status manual.

Here is an excerpt from the manual on what happens at the port of entry here:

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
