Renounce PR Status - Affect Sponsor?

[Angela19]

Hi, I sponsored a friend and she’s been in Manitoba for 1 yr. Now she wants to renounce her PR status and go back home. I would just like to know how her decision will affect me? Can I still get friends/family members even if she renounce her status? Please let me know. Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

You can find some detailed information regarding what the requirements are for someone who is interested in becoming a Manitoba Supporter on the Manitoba Immigration and Economic Opportunities website.

Here is an excerpt,

-able to provide documents proving they reside and are established in Manitoba and —have been living in the province continuously for at least one year (ex: copy of Manitoba Health Card)

-able to demonstrate sufficiently close ties to the applicant and to Manitoba
-able to demonstrate that any applications they previously supported resulted in successful, permanent economic establishment in Manitoba

The eligibility requirements make reference to previously supported applications.
