Hello everyone,
Would greatly appreciate if anyone with experience in this matter can comment and answer some of our concerns.
A family of 4 (parents and 2 kids) became PR on 07/2019, went back home and stay there until now, but got divorced recently.
The father came back to Canada on 09/2023, and got a report from CBSA officer at the airport for not complying or not being able to comply with RO as will only be able to accumulate 10 months on 1st 5yr cycle and has 30 days to appeal. The mother and kids also came back to Canada on 09/2023 on a separate flight, the CBSA agent questioned them due to the long period outside of Canada, and after explaining the situation and conditions, in the end didn't issue or log a report, but advise them to seek a lawyer when attempting to renew their PRCards.
The father who was the principal applicant on PR application, claims that everyone in the family will be subject to the same destiny of his appeal. The mother is just concerned and wants to know:
1) Are mother and kids safe to stay and continue living in Canada since they didn't get any report from the CBSA officer that saw them regardless of what happens to the Father's appeal?
2) Are mother and kids able to wait until they meet the 730 days (meaning almost 2 yrs from 09/2023) to renew their PRCards, thus avoiding to renew them when they expire and avoiding further questioning about their RO during the 1st 5yr cycle?
Thank you so much for your time in helping clarify this.
