Hoping to return to live in Canada

[earlsfort]

I was born in Ireland but lived and worked in Canada for 10 years. While there I became a citizen. For the last 10 years I have been living in Ireland with my husband and children. We are hoping to return to Canada to live. Should my husband apply for a PR card or is there something else we should do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi

I was born in Ireland but lived and worked in Canada for 10 years. While there I became a citizen. For the last 10 years I have been living in Ireland with my husband and children.

1. You are going to have to sponsor him (your children are Canadians if they were born after you became a citizen). If not, they are included on the application.
2. As a Canadian you can sponsor him while residing outside Canada. The forms and guides are here. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp
3. You should apply for proof of citizenship for the children if you haven't already http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/certif.asp
4. Your application will require a statement as to your plans in Canada (study/work/accommodation) when your spouse is issued a visa (COPR)

Thanks so much for your reply, i'm in the process of applying for my children's certificates but was a bit unsure as to which way my husband should apply. Thanks again
