Dependent Landing Question

[Michael26]

Good Morning guys,

I would be grateful if you can help with my question

I now hold a CoPR which expires mid March 2019. I have one dependent in my wife who is pregnant now.
I am planning to travel to Canada before March and do the initial landing to become a PR. Unfortunately my wife will not be able to travel with me due to her pregnancy. She will most probably burn out the CoPR date

What are my options? I understand that when her CoPR expires she will lose her right to travel to Canada as a PR later. So will I have to add her and my child later? How does the CoPR expiry affect her future chances? And there is absolutely no way she can travel before or at the date of CoPR. We are in a precarious situation wrt to migrating to Canada. Apparently we live in the United States now. And still travelling is a strict No for her at the moment

Please assist

Thanks,
Mike

Your wife will be most likely to lose status if not landing. In law this document cannot be extended, explain at the border in favor of your wife situation, and let them explain what to do. Plus, you can always sponsor your child and spouse later on once became PR.

You'll need to sponsor your wife and child later once they are ready to settle in Canada. This will require a new set of forms, new fees, new medical, new PCCs, etc. Expect processing for this application to take approximately a year. Note that you must be living in Canada while the application is processed.

If you live within driving distance of the US/Canada border, I would very strongly recommend driving there and completing landing formalities with your wife before her COPR expires.

Thank you! My original plan is to land in Canada and then come back to the US. I might go back to Canada permanently in the next two years from the my landing date. Do you know if I can land in Montreal with a Toronto address of my friend to receive the PR card? It is a short landing. i will come back to the US immediately. I am definitely in driving distance to Canada. Actually I live within 200 miles of the nearest Canadian border. Montral is the closest. Do you think I can go there? The issue is my wife has a situation where she is not allowed to travel at all, medically. As much as I want to go to Canada, I want to also put my baby's and wife's health first. Goes without saying isn't it?
