This has been asked many times before, but I see that everyone has their different situations. I am up for renewal starting this April and any insights would be really useful as it seems the wording has changed from few years back on who is accompanying whom.
-I got my PR late 2018, did a short landing then headed back to where I worked at the time, the UK.
- I married a Canadian citizen afterwards, where she decided to travel to the UK and also found a job there. (we are still in the UK)
- In December 2019, our son was born in the UK, and he has been issued his Canadian citizenship certificate (Canadian mother)
- In October 2020, my wife began her PhD studies in the UK and she still studying towards it.
I am bit a confused as I recall in 2019 there was a clear statement on one of the CIC guidelines that it didn't matter who is accompanying whom, but from what I gather now things are different? It is still our intention to go to Canada permanently, we just haven't found the right employment opportunities there yet. We have been visiting regularly, but only short visits.
Do I need to show that I was accompanying here the past 5 years or do I need to show the past 2 years only?
Has there been any cases where the PR renewal was refused based on the who accompanying whom or it is all very fluid?
Sorry for the long post, any guidance would be really appreciated.
