I am an Anesthetist and currently reside in Karachi, Pakistan. Me, my wife and elder daughter attained a Canadian P.R status in March 2012. I came back to Pakistan with my P.R card along with my wife and daughter in April 2012 to complete my medical residency. Due to my studies, I was unable to return to Canada and live there for 2 out of the 5 years on my P.R as per the Canadian immigration rules. Nor have my wife (herself a doctor) been able to visit Canada. Our P.R card expires on March 2017 and now that I am done with my studies I want to go back to Canada and contribute to the economy rather than be a burden which I would have been had I come without completing my studies.
My query is that will I be able to enter Canada and what would happen after March 2017. Would I have to leave. Since March 2012, I have lived in Canada for only 3 weeks.
My other query is that in Nov 2012, I had another daughter, Zara. She has never been to Canada and has no status. I want to bring her to Canada with me, as I cannot leave her in Pakistan because I have no one to take care of her as she is only 3 and a half years. I have been told that due to our status, she will not be eligible for a visitors visa. Also It is not an option that I come to Canada and sponsor her while my wife remains behind with her as the current situation of Pakistan is not good for women living alone. Also If I may come and sponsor her, it usually takes about 36 months, and by that time, my wife and daughters status would have expired. I heard there was a Temporary residents permit that allows a person to enter Canada if he/she is other inadmissible to Canada.
Thanking you in anticipation.
