I got my resident card in September 2016. Due to the financial problems of my parents I had to stay in my country and could not go to Canada again. My wife and boy are going to settle there in March 2019 so they can easily cumulate the two years to renew their card and they will stay in the country. But in my case I should go back to visit them given the fragile financial situation of my family that counts on me here. I do not have a choice. What do you recommend ? I take the risk of not being able to go to Canada even though the expiry date is in September 2021, if I come back to Canada after September 2019 they will surely withdraw my card. What can I do now? Send a letter to the government to explain my situation? I just need time to help my parents and then join my family again in Canada. Thank you a lot for your help.
