Hi all,
So having been through every possible situation now:
Recap
Entered Canada (have had PR status since 1966) after a long absence with my 2 children with no Canadian status. After two years I applied for my pr card and received that last feb. Travelled to children's native country and came back in and had no problems, the immigrations officer gave me a visa for the kids and everyone happy. I wanted to sponsor my children and my husband but in the end he has decided not to join us so now I will sponsor only the children. THE LAWS HAVE CHANGED AS OF AUG 1 2014, the max age for dependent children is no longer 22 it is now 19 and my daughter who is currently out of the country will be 19 at the end of October. So I have one minor here, and one outside the country.
I find the paperwork very confusing, can my 18 year old be outside of the country or do I file for an inland and have her come to Canada? Must she remain in Canada while the paperwork is going on or how does that work?
Thankyou thankyou for your replies
