I am the primary applicant and my husband is the only dependent in my application. If we do a landing together and I being the PA come back in 2 weeks and my husband stays back is it fine?

If the primary applicant lands alone, how much time do the secondary applicants have to land? In other words, is there any limit on how long the secondary applicants can stay in the country of origin? To make it practical, my child needs to complete her schooling in the country of origin, and that could be up to a year after I (the main applicant) lands.

Thanks for the response.

Yes - there's a limit. That limit is the expiry date on the PR visa. Usually this is one year after medicals were completed. Your child needs to land before this date.

Precisely what I wanted to know. Thank you.

If the child (secondary applicant) lands within the time limit, may she leave the country again within a few weeks to complete six months of schooling, whereafter she will permanently return to Canada?

If the husband lands before the birth, he will have to sponsor both the wife and the child. The child cannot be added to the app after the husband lands and the wife cannot land after the birth with an undeclared dependent.

Hello,

If I (main applicant) land and then leave after 2 weeks. My husband stays. 4 months later I return to Canada. Will I need to apply for PRTD at my home country to re-enter? Is this all good?

Thanks.

So if your husband stays in Canada then he can mail or courier your PR card to you given initial PR cards on average take 6-8 weeks to arrive. Otherwise yes you could apply for a PRTD

Have gone through the entire thread but couldn't get the answer to the following... will really appreciate if someone can answer this for me.

I am the primary applicant with 4 dependents. We all have the COPR. My intention is to land in Canada first and apply for the PR card for self and all dependents myself. I intend to invite my family a little later when i have made the necessary arrangements and hopefully found a job. Can i do this or all the dependents have to be in Canada when i apply for their PR card?

Will really appreciate all the help i can get.

You can only apply for your PR card, your dependants will need to apply for their own cards when they land. If you have Canadian address then CBSA will process the application when you land else you will need to apply once you have lanaded, same for dependants. You must of course ensure your dependants land whilst their COPRs are still valid.
