hi.. im just wondering, my son was born here in canada and i brought him in the philippines and will be staying there for 2 years, will there be any problem if i bring him back here in canada? i am a permanent resident by the way.
Why would there be a problem with that? Since you are a PR, you have to meet the requirements or staying in Canada at least 730 days in any 5 year period but your son is a citizen and does not have to meet any requirements.
Why would you have to pay a fee to have your son live with you? He is your son. You are not renting him.
As a Canadian citizen, he may stay outside Canada for as long as you want and can come back any time without any problem. The only thing you might have to pay a fee for is if his Canadian passport expires and you need to get a new one.
However, you are a PR and must meet the residency requirements of staying in Canada at least 730 days any 5 yr. period.
