Hi Guys,

I need you help on following query.

After first landing, is this possible that primary applicant come back after staying 3-4 weeks and dependent spouse stay in Canada and search for job.

If yes, do we have any timeline for primary application to come back?

Regards,
SK

Yes not a problem as long as PA lands first or they land together.

As Canuck says not a problem and in fact in theory could stay away for near 3 years not that you probably intend to. Just have to keep in mind that you need to meet the residency obligation of 2 years in Canada out of the initial 5 years from date of landing.

Also you will need your dependant spouse to courier or mail your PR card to you given without that or a PRTD you cannot board a plane to return.

Once landed, spouse is a PR with all the rights, responsibilities and obligations of such. Principal applicant can leave, but be aware of PR residency obligations and possible future impact on citizenship applications.
