VerifiedHello,
A few questions to clarify your situation:
1. Where are you residing now and what, if any, is your status in Canada?
2. Where were your children born?
3. Was your spouse a Canadian citizen?
4. Did your Permanent residency expire? If so, when?
A few questions to clarify your situation:
1. Where are you residing now and what, if any, is your status in Canada?
2. Where were your children born?
3. Was your spouse a Canadian citizen?
4. Did your Permanent residency expire? If so, when?
If you did have permanent residency it would have expired but I suspect you likely had a temporary residency for work purposes. In any event, you will need to apply under the Skilled Worker Visa to be able to immigrate to Canada. The previous residency in Canada may only be useful in providing previous Canadian work experience which is one of the ways to meet the first of the three-step qualification process.
If you are approved for the Skilled Worker Visa, your minor children could accompany you. If the children are over 21, however, they will need to independently qualify under the Skilled Worker category. For more information on the Skilled Worker Visa, see: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp
I would recommend that you retain a Canadian immigration lawyer to assist you with the application and subsequent process.
