Hello folks,
My family and I became landed immigrants in Feb 2011 through the business class application with the PEI PNP. Recently, as I was getting ready to apply for my citizenship, I noticed the following on the CIC website:
You must have permanent resident (PR) status in Canada, have no unfulfilled conditions related to that status, and your PR status must not be in question. This means you must not:
•be under review for immigration or fraud reasons, or
•be under a removal order (an order from Canadian officials to leave Canada), or
•have certain unfulfilled conditions related to your PR status.
The last requirement concerns me because I don't think we meet a requirement with regards to setting up a business. Soon after my family landed, my dad left for work overseas (as he didn't officially resign from his job overseas) which had violated an agreement with regards to a deposit he was supposed to receive if he had not left. Details on the deposit agreement are vague but I can dig it up if clarification is required. My father did return last year, however, he also retired after he left his job overseas. What concerns me is that since I became a PR through my father, the "setting up a business" requirement will also affect me. My father is too old to setup a business now and I don't know what can be done to fix this situation?
Is there anyone on here who can help me with my concern? or educate me on how this can affect our application? I tried reaching out to the immigration services via phone but I can't get past the automated system.
Any help is appreciated.
