A little Background.

We lived in Canada from 2006 to 2010, qualified and applied for citizenship and left the country to take care of my father that was on and off intensive care.

A six months later I returned to Canada with my PR Card still valid for 2 months freelance job while my wife stayed to take care of my father.

A year and half after we applied for citizenship, we receive a letter in a friends address to go to the next phase which was the Citizenship exam. My wife went, did the exam and pass, I could not go because again, my father could not be alone. Citizenship judge requested proof that we had roots in canada (Job, House, family) of course we didnt that was out last communication with them. while in Canada, my wife renew her PR card and return to Brazil.

Now, my father is much better and my brother moved closer and relieved me, we want to return, we have many friends and networking in Alberta, we are both fluent in french and english, skilled but I have no PR card.

I contacted Canadian consulate in São Paulo, Brazil and told them the situation, they told me they would "analyse" proof that I was really here on compassionate care, to give me a travel document.

My questions are:

1. What could possible happened with my citizenship process because I did not show up to the exam?

2. Can my wife have her entry denied to Canada even though she has a PR Card valid and no removal orders, or crimes or anything bad in her file?

3. to my knowledge the only thing I can supply to them are my father medical records dating from before I left Canada, that I have, would I need to provide anything else? (they do not specify what should I send them).

4. If I have my travel document denied, what would be my course of action?

The reason I am concerned, is that return to Canada would imply in liquidate our assets and sell our company and my wife only has 4 months left in her PR card to qualify for the 2 in 5 years rule, so we are tight.

Thanks
Thanks guys

If you didn't supply the evidence requested, then you should assume your citizenship applications have been canceled.

I don't see any reason why your wife should have trouble entering Canada as long as she has lived in Canada for 2 out of the last 5 years.

The most important thing for you to provide are your father's medical records. You must prove you were unable to return to Canada due to his illness and there was no one else who could take care of him.

You will have to apply for pr from scratch. It will be easiest if your wife sponsors you. However she can only sponsor you if she meets the two out of five year residency requirement and she must live in canada during the entire sponsorship process.
 
Why would you need to liquidate your assets and sell your company? Couldn't you hire your brother or someone reliable to look after your company and assets while you both returned to Canada?

>> How long take the sponsorship? Csn i be there as a tourist? Do we need to be apart?
 
Processing times are here:

You can apply for a tourist visa but it's impossible to say if it will be approved.

Yes - there's a chance you may have to live apart for a while.
