Renew PR card or Not

Dear Sir / Madam,
I became a permanent resident of Canada via sponsorship (family class marital status) however I got divorced and I didn't meet the minimum phisical presence in Canada for the past 5 years.
Also my PR card has expired last year.
Now, I have a new family in my country of residence (wife and child) and they are not permanent resident of Canada. What should I do in order to be able to come back to Canada and bring them as a permanent resident?
Should I renounce my PR status or try to renew my PR card before starting a new application (express entry) including my wife and child? I have not contacted cic yet.
Thank you in advance! |

Hi Anna,
Thank you so much for the clarifications.
I still have some doubts,
As far as I know, if even renewing my PR card, I will not be able to sponsor my wife and daughter because I am overseas, plus, if my PR card is renewed, I cannot bring them with me before sponsoring them. That´s why I believe that I may start a new process with express entry.
Questions
1. Can I start a new process without renouncing or renewing my PR card?
2. Does the officer, even knowing that I have not met the residency requirements may approve my application for PR renovation? (I don't think that the immigration officer will accept my reasons - my family and my job - )
Thank you again for your time
