Help with PR issue

[Junglist82]

Hi everyone.

I am a UK Citizen. I got married last year in Canada with my wife who is a Canadian citizen. We decided to move back there a few months later as we couldnt make it work in the UK. I sent my application for PR in January this year, and it is still in process.

In June my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I immediately booked a ticket back to the UK to take care of her. Now shes all the treatment and I want to come back to Canada, but have now found out that because I applied for PR inside of Canada which meant I wasnt supposed to leave the country.

Ive heard that if i tried to go back to Canada now I could be rejected at immigration.

What I need to know is how and when can I go back to Canada? Can I apply for a work permit and reapply when I get back there?

Please any help will be helpful.

Thanks

Since you are visa exempt, you should have no problems re-entering Canada.  Provide proof that you applied for PR through inland spousal sponsorship (fees receipt) and explain that you left in June because your mother was diagnosed with cancer.  You should not have any problems.
