Canadian immigration (5year settlment-plan essay)

[mariolemy]

Hi,

So i am looking for examples of "5year plan essays" i was told to write for my immigration process....


MY SITUATION
- I left Canada some 20years ago(been there only one time since)
- I am trying to immigrate back with my family (my common-law-wife(5yr) & my 3years old rugrat)
- I will come ahead (or bring my wife on the visitor visa during application, if possible) so that i can settle and start a new financial paper-trail to support my sponsoring.

As you can see, i am going to need a damn good essay in the first place, but as i am returning after such a long time, i don't have much restriction... which should help but doesn't, it makes it harder to choose what to say.

any examples of personal immigration submission, or other threads on the subject, would be a great help.

Thanks

You need to provide more information - it's a bit difficult to answer your question right now without more background information about what you're attempting to do.

Are you a Canadian citizen, Canadian PR, or neither? Assuming you are a citizen, are you planning on sponsoring your family for PR and need to demonstrate that you have plans to return to Canada? If you are a PR, are you attempting to keep your PR status after a very long absence? If you are neither a citizen nor PR, which immigration stream are you applying through?

Who told you to write a five year settlement plan? Lawyer?

Yep

I am Canadian born citizen.

The lawyer ask to write a 5 year plan about establishing myself in Canada for long term.

My common-law partner also have to write one.

We have a 3yrs old child together (our kid has his canadian citizenship)

We are looking at normal sponsor-immigration-process

tks

I would recommend that you move over to the Family Sponsorship section of the forum. This is where you will find all of the posts related to spousal sponsorship and people in situations that are similar to yours.

I've never heard of anyone here writing a 5 year plan. I doubt anyone here is going to be able to provide you with an example. Yes - you do have to prove that you plan to return to Canada and live there permanently once your wife's PR visa has been approved. But again, I don't remember ever hearing of someone here writing a 5 year plan. What you want to do is provide evidence that you have concrete plans to move. Where will you live? Is a family member in Canada going to put you up temporarily? If so, have them write a letter saying so. Do you already have property in Canada? If so, provide proof. Have you started emailing real estate agents to find out about rental properties available? If so, provide proof. Have you started looking for a job offer in Canada? Do you have an employer in Canada who has offered you a job once you arrive? Do you have any bank accounts or other assets in Canada? Have you started looking into daycares for your child or put yourself on a waiting list? Provide proof of whatever you can.

Again, move over to the Family Sponsorship section of the forum.

As Scylla mentioned, you don't need a 5-yr plan. Just anything you can include that will show you intend to move to Canada after her PR app is completed.
If you are already in Canada when you submit the application, then you don't need to include any plan whatsoever as CIC won't care. The main thing you'll be judged on is your relationship and that you've lived together at least 12 months to become common-law, which should not be difficult considering length of time you've been common-law and that you have a child together.

You better make sure your lawyer understands the actual requiremetns around family class sponsorship. There are many lawyers who seem to be clueless and end up causing more harm than good. In your case, a lawyer is probably a huge waste of money as your case seems very straightforward. You should look at doing the app on your own.
