I got my PR card in Nov 2019 when I did soft landing and returned back to my home country.
I then came to Canada in Sept 2020. Unfortunately, COVID was all over. I still tried to secure a job but given no luck, I returned back to my home country in Feb 2021. I had planned to return back in 2022 once the COVID situation is over. However, my wife got pregnant and we were blessed with our third child in Aug 2022. We were advised by the doctor not to travel during pregnancy.
Later, I kept on thinking on returning to canada but we did not want to travel with our young infant at that stage (not a genuine reason from IRCC's perspective)
In Jan 2024, I applied for my third child visit Visa which I was granted.
I now intend to land in Canada in Sept 2024 with my wife and kids (note the third child does not have a PR but a visit visa). My PR card will expire in Mid Nov 2024
I am planning to apply for PR renewal of the four of us as soon as I land.
Question:
1. What are the chances of PR renewal given the case described above
2. Should I wait for my PR to be renewed and then sponsor my third son for PR. Or can I apply in parallel to my application. If the answer is I should wait for my PR renewal, then what happens if I don't get a response in 6months as my son can only stay for 6 months in canada given he has a visit VISA.
Thanks
