In 2009 I took my Canadian employer's offer to be sent off to work on a project outside Canada, primarily to save my job.
I believe that this effectively disqualifies me from applying as a sponsor for my parents, as I am not residing in Canada. Does it matter if the country I am in is a "tax treaty" country, meaning that I pay same income taxes as if I were in Canada?
Project is due to finish in another 2-3 years, so it looks to me that to start the application for sponsorship I should quit, and return to Canada. It's a shame, as I understood that CIC won't look at the papers for another 41 months. Any thoughts? Thanks.
