Hi all,
I had applied for my parents' sponsorship in 2007. I received a request for medical last month and the medicals have been sent.
I have been living abroad for last 3 years..
This morning I received a letter mentioning that: "a sponsor who is not a Canadian citizen must be residing in Canada from the day the sponsorship application is received to the day application is completed". P.S: it is not a rejection letter. Just asking for more information in next 30 days.
Two issues here:
1. I am a Canadian citizen now. I moved out once my citizenship was finalized.
2. I intend to move back to Canada once the PR application of my parents is approved. I have strong ties in Canada. I own a home, bank accounts etc. My brother lives there. And my employer has an agreement with me to send me to the Canadian subsidiary on my own timelines.
any expert advice on what should I do next.
And some random thoughts: Life really doesn't stop after you submit your sponsorship application. Especially when the applications takes 8 years or so. Immigrants aren't supposed to halt their lives or actually consume their lives in efforts to bring their families to their newly adopted home. Career has its demands and for ambitious people mobility remains important. Such a law restricting mobility of immigrants, if it exists. Is discriminatory.
