Dear Legal Falcon and members of the community,
My family and I who are DEC 2019 AOR, received re-medicals request on the 13th of October. We are Indians residing in the UAE. My GCMS notes from July 2020 showed Eligibility as passed and this re-medicals request is the first positive sign since then.
We booked an appointment for next week and hopefully if all goes well, we expect our PPR in November and our COPR’s soon after that.
After waiting for 2 years, this has suddenly come and we are not sure how to deal with this situation. My children are in school and my daughter is in her last year and so next year she will need to start University in Canada. She will need to apply by February or May for the September intake and we are unable to decide whether to do our landing in December during this winter break or if there is some option with the university whereby we can land after their academic year ends in 1st week of July 2022 and still apply earlier as a PR (from overseas) if we have a COPR in hand.
My dilemma is that without landing I guess we cannot apply as a PR and she will have to apply as an international student but then next year we will land for sure. What do you advise please? If we have to do a forceful landing in December which is the only time I can see because of the break available, then we have to sacrifice our goods to follow list and wrap up a lot of things quickly which makes it very difficult. My main concern is how to deal with the University application if we don’t land before the application deadline and second is that if we do land in December on a 2 week break and return to the UAE, does it mean that the only thing we are at a disadvantage will be that the goods we plan to bring to Canada by cargo at a later stage, we will need to pay 5% customs duty on it? Is there anything else to be concerned about?
The other thing is that it is allowed now to land in Canada, wait for our PR cards (I guess it takes about 2 weeks) and return to current country of residence for 6 months and then return back after 6-7 months when the academic year ends?
Also, since we will get our PR cards, my daughter can apply to a University in Canada as a PR rather than an International student?
Appreciate all the advice I can get, thank you in advance and hoping and praying for all of you to get some good news sooner than later.
