Can I reclaim permanent residency in Canada after a long absence?
Mr. & Mrs. L immigrated to Canada in 1990, with Mrs. L as a Canadian citizen and Mr. L as a permanent resident. After returning to their country of origin in 2002 and staying until 2021, Mr. L believed his permanent residency was invalidated due to the prolonged absence. However, upon attempting to re-enter Canada with an eTA, he discovered his permanent resident status was still valid in IRCC records.
