Hello,

My father who is almost 70 and is staying with me with expired PR and not eligible for renewal at this time since he can not meet the renewal residency requirements (he was out of Canada for longer than allowed).

Unfortunately his passport is also expiring soon. I checked the passport renewal requirements and the valid PR is required. I guess we are in a soup. our original plan was to apply for PR card renewal as soon as he meets the residency requirements, but somehow i overlooked this passport expiry. Any suggestions? My dad is almost 70 and i would be a disaster if he had to go back to India. I would greatly appreciate if someone here could help.

Thanks in advance

-- Talk to the consulate people. Considering his age and your genuine difficulty, they might consider your case. Also, expired PR card does not indicate invalid PR status.

I once had requested them about something I needed and the CGI Ottawa was very nice to consider my request.
