Hi members
Can I ask for your advice again, pls?
I, my wife and my elder daughter landed for the first time in Apr 2010 and stayed for 3 weeks then left. I came back to Canada last year (Jul 2014), while my family is still in our home country. And at that time, CBSA officer has threatened me that I'd lose PR since I've been away for more 3 years. But he did not report me,I believe. (see my old post at http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/best-way-to-enter-canada-when-not-meeting-residency-obligation-t181417.0.html) And I have been in Canada since then. Our PR cards have already expired in May 2015. I plan to renew my PR card after I complete 2 years (i.e July 2016). And until I get new PR card I am not supposed to leave Canada.
1.Now my wife and my 2 daughters (only the elder one is PR, the younger one is not because she was born after we got PR) who are still in our home country want to visit me in Canada for 2-3 weeks and leave. And we are from the country that requires visa to come to Canada. What are the options for them to visit me when 2 of them are PR (but the PR card already expired) but my younger daughter is not?
2.Currently I have been in Canada for just 1 year in the past 5 years, which means I am still in breach of the residency obligation. I know I need to stay out of CIC's way and I can't apply to sponsor anyone. But if my wife starts contacting Embassy to apply for any visa or whatever it is needed for them visit me here for 2-3 weeks and leave, will that trigger CIC to check my residency obligation? I am worried that the breach of residency obligation will be exposed and I will lose PR. But I really miss my family so much and I can't leave Canada.
Thanks
