My question is if a person is a landed immigrant who has lived for almost two years now in canada and is staying here for another one year to complete his three years rquirment for Canadian Citizenship, Can he sponsor his parents now in 2004 though from next year 2005 he will move to states. And by the time they become PR in canada from 3-4 years from now .I will come back to Canada to live here if i choose it to be. PLS advice

YES you can.

All the best

I had same question when I have applied for my parent immigration. But my situation was different.

I want to bring my parent here anyhow, because I want to take care of them and I can't leave my job and go there if they get sick or something. so I was depend on immigration.

I have ask my lawyer, she is working and decison maker to create policy in Immigration department for 15 years..
and she have advised to me, If you clearly read the guideline they mentioned, the person should reside in canada if they are sponsering their parent.

Reason is very simple.. goverment want to make sure it's your resposiblity if you are applying for their immigration when they come here to give them house, food etc. basiv living. so if you leave the country they are not sure.

If they will check and found you are not in country they will reject immidieatly..
but i am not sure they are really checking that or not.

but in my case, I did not want to be rejected because i am so much depend on it..so I didn't took risk..

it's up to you.
