First, the facts people :
Name: CastAway
Date of Birth : 1971
Marital Status : single
Citizenship Status : Foreign National
Family Citizenship Status : Father, sister and brother Canadian citizens. Mother foreign national.
CastAway?s timeline in Canada :
1) 1974 - 1980
(CastAway arrived as landed immigrant in 1974 (age 3). Left Canada in 1980 accompanying parents abroad)
2) 1984 - 1991
(CastAway back living in Canada in 84. Dad becomes Canadian citizen in 1986. CastAway leaves Canada in 1991 at the age of 19 (dependant)accompanying parents abroad...again)
3) 1998 (spent 4 months in Canada on visitor Visa - Inquired with CIS about possible claims to citizenship or PR status after being told he might have a claim by customs officer at point of entry. No claims possible. Proceeded to leave Canada.)
4) 2006 (In Sep 2006 Canadian Embassy denied him vistor visa to attend sister?s wedding on condition that he sign waiver of " Right to Appeal Residency Status Determination". CastAway signed waiver. Visa was extended. Spent 3 weeks in Canada Sept 2006.
Question :
1) Can Castaway have his PR status reinstated ?
2) Must he re-apply for PR Visa from abroad ? If so, does he have a good shot at getting it considering he had fulfilled Citizenship requirements many times over before leaving in 1991 ?
Thanks all.

No you can´t have it reinstated, especially if they already told you that. You have been away for too long and must deal with the consequences; otherwise, anyone could come and go and claim PR after a long time.
Also, stop talking about yourself in the third person, it´s freaky.

You have to start all over from scratch and your past time in Canada will not help your case in anyway what so ever.

Having fulfilled citizenship requirements many times over has gotta count for something don?t you think ?

Uh, no? If you fulfilled it, you should´ve gotten it then. You haven´t contributed anything to the economy recently so why should you get it now, as prices have risen and times have changed since you were here?
