Hi
Myself, my wife and three daughters live and work in the UK.
We were issued with Canadian PR cards in Apr 2008. They expire in April 2013.
Just before we were due to move to Canada, the UK suffered a recession, and housing price collapse due to the downturn in the world economy.
Due to this the money that we had tied up in our property fell dramatically, the house did not sell and we could not afford to immigrate to Canada.
We are now in a position where we can begin to think about immigrating to Canada again and are considering moving towards the end of 2013.
Our PR cards will have expired by then and we will not have fulfilled the Canadian residency requirements that are needed to renew the PR card normally.
We require advice as to how to proceed from here please.
Some other info:
1. We were seeking to move to BC.
2. My father, step mother and other family have lived in BC for 30+ years
3. Our immigration application was on the basis of an 'entrepreneur' visa.
Thanks very much.
