Hello! I am uncertain as to whether I was able to maintain my PR status since I was not able to live in Canada for 2 years. The immigration website states that living outside of Canada long enough that I do not meet the residency requirement does not automatically make me lose my permanent residency. My PR card will not expire until Dec 2016 and I plan to re-enter Canada after finishing university in my country sometime around May 2016. Is there any way that I can verify that I still have my PR status and can return to Canada without any immigration problems? Should I renounce my PR status and then apply for another visa or is it possible to renew my visa here in my country?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
