My pr card expired 3 years ago and ive not lived the 2 out of 5 years that's required. I did speak to a immigration solicitor at the time and he said if I did decide to go I would have to go on a tourist visa and once in I could stay for 2 years and then apply for anew one.I was in a common law relationship and she sponsored me but we broke up so I hardly used permanent residence and went back to england .
I do have a social insurance number but im wondering would I need my pr card to apply for jobs ?.The solicitor said I would not be breaking the law as it only says you have to stay 2 out of 5 years .Does anyone know more about this ?

I’d suggest you have another read of your previous thread on the subject, as you’ve been given a lot of good advice before and nothing has changed I’m afraid.

Oh, and I’d get a new lawyer! You’re still a PR of Canada until that’s formally revoked, so you can’t go on an ETA (‘tourist visa’) anyway.
