Hi

Me, my wife and our daughter received our PR in Nov, 2019. We landed in Canada in Dec 2019 and returned to India after 20 days. We got our PR cards later.

Now my wife is planning to move to Canada with our daughter, while I plan to stay back.

I have a few doubts:

1. I was the primary applicant when we applied for PR. Could my wife and daughter enter Canada without me?
2. If they spend 3 years in Canada, while I am still in India, can they apply and get citizenship?
3. In case they get citizenship and I plan to move to Canada thereafter, would I get citizenship?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks navinball for your response.
One quick query on the 3rd point: even if I lose my PR status, once my wife gets the citizenship, can I get citizenship based on her citizenship status?
