We landed here in Canada Apr 2003 but left after a month as i was working still in the Middle East. Came back Apr 2006 (exactly 3 yrs) and planned to stay for good. Unfortunately couldnt land a good job so i decided to leave after 5 months and back to ME, leaving my family behind which i come and visit every after 6mos for like 2 weeks time. I stayed for good last Mar 2008 just in time before my PR card gets expired by May of that yr. Anyways i have two questions to ask:
1. Can my family apply citizenship (as they completed residency obligation). Are we not going to be questioned just in case why i havent applied at the same time as them. All our PR card expired last year and we have never renewed it.
2. i know that i have not completed residency obligation for the past 5 yrs but i'm staying for good this time, can i go ahead applying for citizenship if i completed 3 straight years out of the 4 yrs time or should i first renew my PR card after i completed straight 730 days.
Appreciate any response on this
