She's coming back to Canada immediately and missing graduation. She will still be a few days short so we will see what happens at the border.

We did our soft landing in April 2018, then moved here permanently in August 2019. Oldest daughter moved here permanently in 2021 and has just realised she is short of days to make up the 730 in five years since PR started. She's about 50 days short. If those couple of months when we were all...

I don’t know. We all returned to uk after soft landing in April, to sell house and for daughter to take A levels that summer.

If a child with PR is outside Canada with a Canadian Citizen 'parent', those days count towards 730-day residency obligation. Who counts as 'parent' in this scenario? In our case, our sponsor is my Canadian partner, who is child's step father. We were all in UK together. I am a PR but not a...

That's useful, we have some of these. Thank you for your help.

Thank you. I suppose it's a toss up between how long it will take to get a decision from the court ( who know if it will be adjourned again in March, so far this has been due to non attendance and objections from girls' bio father so out of my control...) versus how long application wold be...

How do you prove intent to return? My partner is dual nationality and we currently live in uk. He will be sponsoring us under family class. Thanks for help.

Thank you for your helpful and kind comments. I am in England, although I have sole parental responsibility I don't know if that is the same thing as 'custody' in law. Hadn't thought of including a letter explaining with the application, that's a good idea. :)

Thanks canadianwoman. That's what I was wondering. We have the added complication that my older child is 17 - too old for court orders etc but needs to be included on an application now as family sposnoship is only for under-19s. By the time younger one is 16, older one will be too old and...

Her father has not paid child maintenance for seven years. He sees her about once or twice a year, even though lives only ten minutes away. He did not attend court for the hearing. He does not give her birthday presents. When we were together he used to steal money from her money box. I have had...

My younger daughter is 14. We want to include her in application for family sponsorship so we can emigrate while she is 15, nearly sixteen (target date summer 2018). My Canadian partner will be our sponsor, we all live together in uk. I have sole parental responsibility. As her father will not...
