Hi guys,
I've received invitation to apply and I'd like to ask about what to fill to PR appliction. I don't know what exactly to fill into Country of Residence fields for each person.
I have a wife and two children and we are moving to Canada, because I've got a job here. Me and my wife came to Canada in February and got our temporary Work Permits on the border. I've stayed in Canada and my wife returned back to Prague to pick up the kids and they will all join me in June. My wife has got her work permit based on mine and the same applies to the children, but they have not claimed their permits yet (I actually don't know what they will get, because they are still too small to work - a study permit? Or some temporary residence permit?)
So currently it is:
me - in Canada - Canadian Work Permit
wife - in Czech Republic - Canadian Work Permit
children - in Czech Republic - no Canadian permits yet
I understand that I have probably to fill in Canada as my country of residence. But what for my wife and children? We do have an address here in Canada and they have already scheduled their travel to Canada (and bought the airline tickets). So is it Canada also for my wife, because she has Canadian address and valid Work Permit? Or even for the children, because by the time the application will be processed, they will be probably also in Canada? Or is it Czech Republic for all three of them, just because they are physically located in Czech Republic at the time of submission? When they will travel to Canada, do I have to amend the submitted application with this change?
Thanks in advance for any advices.
