Hello members,

I am currently sponsoring my hubby (outland) and I am a PR holder.

We are currently in the second stage of the process, that is our file has been transferred to Pretoria VO since 21 July 2015.

I was thinking of going back to my country for vacation for approx 2.5 months as from 20 January 2016. For this, I will need to quit my job, as I will not be getting leaves for so long. However, I will still maintain my address in Quebec.

I am in doubt if this will cause issues in our application. If the authorities find out that i am out of canada, will they reject residency to my husband. Will they reject our application? Does being out of Canada for vacation purposes, pose a problem?

Please advise..I feel so lonely and want to go see my family and hubby.. Its been almost a year without him.

Thank you everyone in advance :)

There's no black and white answer. As a PR, you are supposed to be residing in Canada during the entire process. Generally we recommend keeping time outside of Canada below 1 month. Yes, it's possible you may have no issues leaving for 2.5 months - it's also possible your long trip could create issues for your application. Unfortunately it's impossible to say for certain.
