Ladies/Gentlemen,

Need your advise for the situation I am in. I my wife and our son have a Landed here in Canada as a Permanent resident back in May 2010 was here for 2 1/2 months and left Canada after we got our PR cards, and after we left we were blessed with a daughter i.e born out of canada,


I came back alone to canada for good in September 2012, and left my wife and kids in my home country as our daughter didnt had a visa for canada, i learnt back then that one parent had to be in home country and a nother in canada and start the PR application for the child who was born out of canada, and so i did, came back but couldnt apply for her untill December 2012 as i was advised again to get a job first, so in November 2012 when i got a job i immediately applied for my daughters visa, i was expecting the processing to complete in 3 to 4 months, as there are no background checks or police clearance for a child that young, but it took 9 months for her processing, reason for it to take so long was that the CIC employees were on a world wide strike over salary hikes, i have even approached the Local MP for his help , but any ways.

we also have been out of canada for 40 days from dec 2014 - jan 2015

now our PR's i.e for myself, wife and son are due to expire in june 2015 , i am meeting the residency obligations i.e stay in canada for atleast 2 out of 5 years, but thats not the case with my wife and son , they are 5 months short to comply to the requirement for PR renewal.

now the question is ,

1. should i renew my pr first and let my wife and sons pr expire and try renewing them after they complete the full 2 years which would complete in November 2015 ?

2. should i wait for myself and renew all three PR cards in Nov 2015 ?

3. will my SIN card expire along with my PR card and will force to become jobless ?

4. what happens to our health cards and drivers license if the PR card expires ?

5. my wife who wants to join a collage this year to do a diploma, will she be able to apply with an expired PR card

6. my son who is in school for the last 1 year, can he continue to go to school ?


Guys please advise

Thanks
Sameer

Exactly how many DAYS have your wife and son spent in Canada since the day that they Landed?
 
Please clarify:
Was your daughter's visa approved and did she land in Canada?

Are you and your family currently in Canada?
 
@ Zardoz,

Both My Wife and son landed in September 2013 ever since then they are here with me in canada, how ever we have been to india for 40 days between Dec 2014 and Jan 2015. so its roughly 16 months that they have lived here. now by the renewal time which is in june 2015 they will complete 18 months, so they would be 5 to 6 months short to satisfy their residency obligation.
 
@ eileenf,

Yes our daughter's visa was approved after 9 months of processing time, and yes she is with us here in canada.

The validity of your PR card has nothing to do with your actual status as a PR in Canada. Many PRs have lived in Canada for years, decades even, and have never even had a PR card.

1. You can apply for renewal whenever you want as long as you qualify.

2. As above. It makes absolutely no difference to their applications whether you apply at the same time as them or not.

3. No.

4. Nothing.

5. Depends on the school.

6. Yes.
