parents sponsorship

[zhanfenny]

Guys, I'm having some trouble here.
I sponsored my parents in 2008, as the processing moves really slow, i returned to my home country this year staying with them while preparing document requested from CIC. Their visa was issued late last month. But just lately I heard from friends that I need to stay in Canada while sponsoring parents, and i failed to notice CIC this as I'm not aware of it is necessary, nor did I know the residency requirement.

Now I have some options:
1. write to cic telling them the truth, and ask them to reassess the case or maybe cancel their visa if necessary
concern: will they still charge me of misrepresent despite i told them the truth before my parents land as PR

2. go back to canada with my parents to land, but may have some trouble if i want to sponsor anyone in the future

thanks a lot for any input

I'm no expert on this but if the visas have been issued then you don't have anything to worry about ,the process is complete. All you have to do is arrange their landing and return to Canada yourself. You are entitled to leave the country from time to time for family reasons,holidays etc. There may be some rule that applies once they are living in canada that if you no longer live there you have to notify but if visas have been issued you are at the end of the road and congratulations are in order. Enjoy having your parents with you at last.

Have a look at the link above on the forum. People like you have been communicating and supporting each other on this thread for many months. There are many on there who can reassure you that you have nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the kind word. I know many people do this, probably even work in another country. for my case, i'm just visiting my parents on tourist visa, still have strong ties with canada (bank account, credit card, investment etc.) as I have always planned to go back.

If you need any more reassurance check the link I sent before and ask the same question . There are lots of experts on there who can help. But I don't see you have a problem at all. Where was your application processed ?

How long have you been out of the country and are you a PR or a Citizen?
