Hi,
I am a Canadian PR holder who landed with wife and daughter in March 2014. We stayed in Canada for 2 weeks and came back to Dubai due to our work commitment.
In mid 2016 we decided to move permanently to Canada, however because of a pregnancy complication the doctor advised my wife not to travel so we all stayed back.
I applied TRV for my son in feb 2017 which was refused after a long wait of 3 months. I consulted a lawyer who pursued our case and finally the TRV got issued this month i.e. April 2018.
I understand that we must spend 730 days in canada starting from our landing date to be eligible for a PR card renewal. Now when we return to canada, the validity of our PR card will just be about a year.
As the TRV is just issued this month, i understand the officials are already aware of my PR status and the situation i have been through.
I need to understand possible scenarios when we land in Canada as i will be leaving dubai for good:
Can the immigration officer refuse us entry based on the number of PR days?
If we are allowed entry, can i file sponsorship for my child right away as the TRV is just valid until sept 2018?
Can i renew my PR card once it expires in June 2019?
Looking forward for your expert advise.
