Canada Immigration

[Scorpion123]

Hi all, I had been living in Canada for 9 yrs. Moved there to join my newly wedd hubby who was studying. Long story short, he wasted so much of his time, school-wise and working wise. We were being supported by our parents. We then ended being asked to voluntary leave the country after we tried to extend our permits. We have 2 kids and would like to come back and make things better for ourselves and live independently, raising our 2 Canadian kids there. How do we make this possible? Could we apply for working visas for both of us or how do we go about applying again? Your feed backs are highly appreciated.

Thanks

Unfortunately your post raises more questions and makes it difficult to provide any answers.


What do you mean by "...We then ended being asked to voluntary leave the country after we tried to extend our permits"? Who asked you to leave the country (immigration or your parents)?

Why exactly were you asked to voluntarily leave the country?

What type of permits did you have while you were in Canada?

I see that you are no longer in Canada, did you voluntarily leave (or were you eventually forced to leave)?

You said you and your husband were being supported by parents, are these parents in Canada?

I see you ask "could we apply for working visas", do you have a job offer to work in Canada?


(I am no expert, but you may actually need a lawyer to work on your case.)

We were asked to leave cause we kept extending our visas every year with no progress on my hubbys school work. It was the Immigration that asked us to voluntary leave the country, our parents live outside of Canada.We obviously had a study permit and a work permit. We left voluntary after we were asked to leave. And no we dont have any job offers yet. Are there any companied hiring and also offer LMO?

Were you also on a study permit or was it just your husband?

Were you on a work permit? If yes, how long were you working there in Canada? What is your work experience/skills?

"Are there any companied hiring and also offer LMO?" You were in Canada for 9 years, you must already know how difficult it is for a foreigner to get a job.

I do not know what your options are, especially considering your history. Your history is important because I am sure a perspective employer is going to take it into consideration, more importantly though, CIC is going to take it into consideration.



Depending on what your work experience is and depending on how long you lived/worked in Canada you could possibly consider applying under Canadian Experience Class (CEC), maybe you could also consider applying via Quebec. But I am no expert regarding your particular issue, I am just guessing about the CEC and Quebec options, I really do not know. The thing is, your situation don't fall under the "usually" immigration application process.

The fact that you have Canadian kids might also be a "plus", but I really don't know how you could use that fact to your advantage.

Maybe you should get a (competent/expert/knowledgeable) lawyer to first advise you of what are your options are, then you can make a better informed decision on the way forward.

By the way, when immigration asked you to leave, didn't they advise you of what your options are regarding returning to Canada?

**The fact that you voluntarily left Canada might actually mean you can apply to return to Canada under the "usual/normal" immigration processes without any issues. But I do not know.


I did some Googl'ing and cam across these links, maybe they might offer some more "insight" into your situation:

"Most people asked to leave Canada have the right to an impartial hearing to review the decision."

Also, you said you voluntarily left (on the request of immigration), I assume you followed whatever the departure procedures were?


ENF 11 - Verifying Departure

Section 14. Procedure: Verifying departure in the case of a removal order not in force (page 16)

Section 14.1. Port of entry procedures (page 16)

Chances of either of you getting another temporary status (work permit, study permit) are very low. You need to look into permanent immigration options, such as Federal Skilled Workers.

Since you had an OWP, did you work? Have you viewed CEC qualifications to see if you can apply?

Having Canadian children will give you no rights or perference to live in Canada. They can return to Canada when they are 18, but you would still need a visa to visit them. (And they could sponsor you once they meet the requirements if the sponsor is open at that time.)
