Children and spouce complications! Please help!

[Sash]

Hi,
So I have a very complicated situation that I cannot seem to find information on. Hopefully someone can help please!
My friend has recieved his PR and his family has to be here by november 17 2010, however his wife has decided now that she does not want to come to Canada and they no longer want to be together since he wants to stay in Canada and she wants to stay in here country. (she did want to come here in the beginning and did all the necessary medical tests and paper work is complete) But changed her mind just after he did his landing and got his PR in the spring. He has two daughters which are 6 and 11 and his 11 year old daughter wants to come here now. He did not expect this, and is not completely prepared now and is worried he will not be prepared and have enough money to go there and get her and return here with her. So I guess a couple of my questions are:

If he does not bring his family here by November does that effect his PR?
Can he only bring his one child here in November without his wife and other child?
They are planning on getting a divorce does this affect his PR?
If he does not go and get his daughter by Novemeber is it possible for her to come at a later date without having to do the whole application process once again? and if you have to do the application process how long would it be before she could come?

Reminder: He already has his PR and has done his landing and has recieved his PR Card.
I hope someone can help with this situation... thanks so much!!

Okay first off what type of application did he file ?? i am assuming its a skilled worker application NO??

Basically i am throwing this out there his wife andf himself should notify CIC of the change in marital status !! I am more than sure htis will hold no baring on his PR BUT he need to notify IMM about the recent events that have taken place...

Yes he can bring the child here without the childs mother but i am more than certain he will require written consent from the mother allowing that child to immigrate soley with the father ...Visa or no visa any child leaving their home country immigrating to canada has to have consent from the other parent..CIC is very firm on this ...

Like i said earlier this will have no affect on his PR ...But a little more information regarding what kind of application they had in the first place would be easier to answer your questions ...

As far as not getting the daughter by november unfortunatly will revoke the visa issued and will ultimatly end up in him having to file all over again from start to finish... He will have to file for the child as a dependant child ...and depending what over seas visa office they are dealing with it could take a average of several months ...3-6

He would have to sponsor her as a dependent child. The process takes about 6 months but the time is dependent on the visa office processing the application.

To the best of my knowledge all parties have to land and then go back if they wish before the visa expire. it nov is the expiry day then he has to do his best to make sure they all land otherwise they will forfeit it. I will advise he begs his wife to agree to do the landing with him because of the kids future not really for today. One expect that he wont get into a bad fight with his wife in the mist of such an important situation however since he has done that he can only do his best to make amend. He should forget pride and convince his wife and kids to land with him.

My two cents others can advise better
They are planning on getting a divorce does this affect his PR?
If he does not go and get his daughter by Novemeber is it possible for her to come at a later date without having to do the whole application process once again? and if you have to do the application process how long would it be before she could come?

He has a contract with the company and its called "The Worker", they paid for everything to have the workers come here. However, it was only a two year contract which is now out dated which would make the contract terminated. He has not signed any other contracts with them either. Does this help? I can get more specifics if need be. And in regards to it taking 3 - 6 months to bring his daughter here, he was told it could take up to 4 years, is this true? I some how doubt it can take 4 years, especially if a child wants to be with a parent. And can they deny her (his daughter) from coming for any reason?

I think the best scenario would be for the rest of his family to land together by November. If the wife and youngest then decided to return to their country then they can. If at some later point there is a reconciliation between the spouses, then the wife and child would be free to return to Canada without having to reapply. The caveat being that she would have to return in time to fulfill the residency requirement of 700+ plus days within a 5 year period (I never can remember if that is the right number).

It is also possible to arrange with the airline for an unaccompanied minor to travel alone. It requires some advanced planning (and I'm sure some additional costs) as the airline would assign an adult (typically a flight attendant or gate attendant) to accompany the child through the embarking and disembarking procedures as well as through any lay overs. Parents are sometimes granted special privileges to accompany the child to the gate though I am not sure this is always the case. Of course I would want the child on a direct flight, if at all possible.

He's now a PR right? He no longer needs a contract for any job to remain in Canada. He can work for whomever he wants. This has no bearing on his situation. He, as the principal applicant, has already landed. The principal applicant is required to land before or with any dependants. He's done this. His family members can "land" as long as they do so before the expiry of their PR visas. The family member DO NOT need to land together.

4 years for what? If his daughter's visa expires and she doesn't "land", he can sponsor her as a dependent child assuming he has the mother's permission. It does NOT take 4 years unless there are security concerns.

Yes, they can deny anyone entry (other than Canadian citizens and PRs) if there are security or criminality concerns. I doubt an 11 year old will create these kinds of concerns.

Wow this is strange,a mother that is willing to let her child leave,and split siblings,im concerned that you go through the process again and she then changes her mind again,she is only 11.You might want to talk to your ex in a serious note,that she should land with the children and then if she want s to go back she goes if the child or children want to stay they stay,but to separate siblings????
But if its ok with the both of you ??Then its your choice i guess.

Yes, that is correct he can work for whom ever he wants. Thank you very much for your help! So sponsorship for his child from what I read can be about 3 - 6 months is this correct?

His application was a workers permit, as for the written consent from the mother allowing that child to immigrate soley witht the father, does this mean she would have to get written persmission from him if she were to try and leave her country to go somewhere else? Thank you very much you have been very helpful!

Also, does anyone know how to start a divorce when one person is in canada and the other is in mauritius? Do they ever have to be in the same country or can it all be done through back and forth of papers and such and does anyone know an approx time line? I know thats a hard one depending on the circumstances of agreements and such. Thanks again.
