mjsantos said:They were included but my wife could not land on the day she should. There were some emergencies back home and she could not land. I landed alone. We are from Brazil but we current live in the US.
if his family already has a visa before then expired they should have to go to the nearest immigration and have them renew. my friend left his 1 year old baby and the visa was expired then after a year he renew the baby's visa no medical and evrything it takes 3 or 6 months i think.kelKel said:Hi mjsantos you are correct that you will have to sponsor your family again because they didn't land and their visas expired. As a permanent resident you'll have to be residing in Canada in order to submit the application. So once you move yourself here you can sponsor them. I imagine they will have to redo their Medicals and police certificates for your wife and children over 18 will need to obtained again. You'll send the application to Mississauga and from there it will transferred to either Sao Paolo, Brazil. The processing time is around 10 months max but many would get through in less time.
Is your family currently living on the United States or Judy visiting?
my friend's daughter has 1 year expired visa before she renew it here in canada. mjsantos might seek help to the nearest immigration office so he will know what is better thing to do.kelKel said:Yes I guess it would have to depend on how long ago the visas expired. It was my understanding if you didn't land in Canada by the expiry date on the visa it became invalid.
