Hi super8

Your duplicated post!!

You already posted this topic in Skilled worker pages and I did answer already.
 
A PR can be absent from Canada for up to 3 years out of the first 5 years after landing. The residency requirement is 730 days in every rolling 5 year period, so after the first 5 years you have to calculate your residency obligation going back over the most recent 5 year period. Basically that means if you are absent for the first 3 years out of the first 5, you can still meet your obligation, but you cannot be absent another 3 years consecutively after that.

As a PR, you will be required to reside in Canada in order to be eligible to sponsor your family. How long it will take depends on where their application will be processed.

Click to expand...

It will be more than a month or two.

See the following page - then add the Step 1 processing time to the Step 2 processing time:
