Again different situation...I am Canadian, daughter is first generation Canadian she has her citizenship card and passport, got this when she was born immediately for her..question is that rights are being affected by the government..

My right as a Canadian and daughter for I make the decisions for her cause she is underage.. from returning anytime, cause the child in Canada is the right to both parents, but I have the right also as the father and Canadian to return back to Canada but also the child to have my child with me...so to me this is a huge conflict to the Canadian laws...

You are 100% correct that Canadian citizens have the right to return to Canada anytime. You and your daughter can return anytime. Your rights are not being violated here. Unfortunately your wife is not Canadian so she does not have that right. There is no Canadian law giving legal rights to a non-Canadian to be able to join their families in Canada without limit. Many many people on this forum are in the same situation as you, married to foreign nationals abroad and living abroad with children. Also many people ask a question on this forum if they should have a baby to strengthen their applications and speed up the processing times, because if it did, they would do it. CIC is aware of this ploy and hence why they take the stance they do now. There is always a cause of a few people trying to exploit the system that causes CIC to come up with some strict rules and it ruins it for all. Many families split like this and it is sad.
 
I don't think i have ever been so p*** ed off on the forum as i am right now. If you don't think Canada is special, and you can get a working visa in the U,k in a week and become a Serbian citizenship so quickly. Look at those counties and see the mess they are in . For some one who wants to come back to Canada you don't have any nice things to say about it . So many of us live apart from our partners and our children. We are all waiting to move on with our lives .

As others have said .Its no difference for you than any of us .
 
Take a number, sit down and wait for your turn. There is thousands of applicants that are in the same situation as you and they just follow the procedure as everyone else. We don't like people who try to cheat the system.
If you cant afford the cost of applying for PR, chances are you will have a hard time to live here since its almost the same the monthly rent price for an apartment in many cities here in Canada.
Seems to me that you come back as a matter of opportunism, not because you want. Maybe schooling is cheaper here? Just sayin'
 
Calm down.My child is a Canadian and live with me while waiting for my PR-already 14 months. He is seeing his father twice a year. But I am not blaming Canada. We knew that we must wait. Every country have own regulation for immigration. Don't lose time, just fill the sponsorship for your wife.
 
Wow, did I seriously just read this thread?

Karlglund, I want to know where your sense of entitlement comes from?

FYI, my father sponsored my mother in the 70's and they had to go through a similar process for her to cross the border and work. You're not the first "victim" of immigration, and you won't be the last. The sooner you drop your "poor me" "my wife is entitled" attitude, the happier you'll find yourself. Go with the flow dude, or go to the UK.
 
Yes, Canada's immigration is expensive and takes a long time. But if you want to move here with your wife you have to suck it up.

We paid almost $2000 and waited for over a year for my PR. If we would have moved to Germany instead, PR for my spouse would have taken 1-2 weeks at no cost. Yes, it's not fair but there is nothing you can do about it

My spouse didn't want to leave Canada so I left Germany and went through this annoying process. But in the end it's what you have to do if you want to be with your partner in Canada
 
The OP has yet to factor in that he was 1st in line to apply for Serbia citizenship, and his wife would be 100,000 and 1st in line for Canadian PR. Of course one is easier.

OP, if you wanted her in school in Canada by 5, could have thought about this say, when she turned 4.
 
Why not to Canada by yourself. Get a job and safe. Later, you can go back to your country and sponsor your wife.
To me, this will be the only legit way you can do it.

Thanks,
