Dear MASSODJI,

I am in the process of immigrating to CANADA.
However I donot intend to immigrate but want my wife and children(8 and 12 yrs)
only to do so.Thus I intend to stay back in middle east and be a bread winner
for the family .I am the principle applicant.
My question is, is it possible for my wife and kids to immigrate and subsequentely
apply for the citizenship even if I donot immigrate?(They wil sponsor me later once they become citizen)
OR
is it a must that I also need to immigrate since I am the principal applicant
and the kids are less than 16 trs of age?

Your expert opinion will be of great help for me.

Dear MASSODJI,
I am awating expert reply from you !!!

Patience is a great virtue. I do have to work & spend time with my family. Your question was not URGENT.

You need to land in Canada so that everyone else in your application can become permanent residents.

Whatever you do afterwards if not going to affect your wife's and children's immigration.

DEAR MASODJI,

My apologies for the anxiety at my end.I do respect your
shedule and I shall take care to be patient.

I appreciate the time given by you to the forum and people like me
and it is a great source of precise information for making decisions.

The hurry on my part was partly due to the crucial meeting with my present chairman for deciding the strategy about my posting in the wake of my impending immigration to CANADA.
