PR Card and Super Visa Questions

[happy_canadian]

Hi,
My parents became PR in 2014 but did not stay in Canada for the required period so they loose their Canadian Permanent residency status. I have two questions

1. Do I need to inform CIC in writing , or does their PR status in Canada automatically get cancelled ?

2. Can I get the PR cancelled(by sending a formal letter to CIC) and at the same time apply for a 2 year Super visa as that seems to be more convenient to my parents ?

Please let me know my options.

Thanks

1. Your parents would either have to apply for a PR Travel Document, and be refused. The would have the right of appeal or They can renounce their permanent resident status. see: http://tinyurl.com/y5ewlc4d
   
   
2. You can’t apply for a Super Visa until the decision is made on either the renouncement or PRTD application.
