Hi All,
History:
My wife got PR in 2005. After that she did not spend much of time in Canada. She went back to canada during pregnancy, to give birth to our daughter. Hence, our daughter is now Canadian Citizen. I applied for after birth of my daughter and became PR in June 2010. We visit Canada once a year and spend a month in Canada. In 2011, we planned that we will move to Canada for good. My wife applied for renewal of her PR on humanitarian ground in 2011. I applied to Canadian schools for my masters and all. But I was rejected by a top school in Canada. I do have proof emails and all from school. Later, I was accepted in one of the world's top 5 schools in france and I decided to go ahead with that course. During these two years my wife stayed back in Canada. I spent nearly 100K on my masters and was in debt. Still, I tried to look for job in Canada after my masters. But unfortunately, I did not get a single call for interview. The biggest hurdle was Canadian experience. Hence, taking a logical step, I accepted an offer from my campus. The position was based in Dubai and pay was wonderful (roughly CAD 150K taxfree). Last July my wife joined me in Dubai for a year and yesterday she went back to Canada. Now that I have paid back the debt I am thinking to move to Canada in August.
When my wife landed in Canada yesterday evening, she was sent to immigration. An officer advised that the whole history of our file is on the records. He was of opinion that my wife applied on humanitarian ground stating that we are moving to Canada for good and we did not move to canada. But circumstances were such that actually I did not move to Canada. My wife and daughter were in Canada for whole two years.
My original plan was that my wife goes to Canada in June and I will follow her in August. My PR is supposed to expire on 25Jun 2015. I did not complete my residency obligation. Counting the days that I was in School and the days I spent in Canada, it will be somewhere around 680 days if I move in August and stay till my PR expires. However, now, once the officer questioned my wife on airport, I have doubts whether I should resign from my high paying job, and come to canada.
I have two options.
1. Resign from my from Dubai and look for new job in Canada and continue life in Canada. I am afraid if airport authority will deny my entry. I will end-up losing from both sides if that happens.
2. On the safe side, I may decide to stay back in dubai and let my wife complete one more year in Canada and apply for the Citizenship once she completes one more year in Canada. Will there be any problem if she alone applies for citizenship? (with the background that she applied on humanitarian ground for renewal of PR on the promise that we will move to canada?)
Thank you all in advance for your input and views. Based on your inputs I will either decide to resign in a week or ask my family to comeback to Dubai for good.
