Hi Marco and others as relevant,
I have been going through the posts and got some idea. However, let me share my story...
I, my wife and our daughter are the permanent residents to Canada. We landed in 2011 and stayed in Vancouver for 9 months (my wife and daughter) and me for seven and half months. Then we moved to Malaysia and stayed there exactly three years. Meanwhile, our 2nd child a baby boy was born which I tried to inform the CIC.
After a series of emails with CIC, I submitted a sponsorship application for the boy in December 2014. From their 1st feedback I got to know that it will take 30 months. Then I immediately contacted the CIC and I was asked to apply for a Temporary visitor visa. By the time our departure date was coming very close. On May 21, I got to know that my son's visa has been rejected because the visa officer was not convinced to grant him a visitor visa. After a series of immediate faxes, they gave me a clear explanation that...
1. It has been observed that I did not wish to integrate myself in Canada
2. I took a conscious decision of taking a child while living outside Canada and this boy has no status in Canada; there he has no right to travel to Canada
3. I failed to build a proper Canadian ties
4. They also notice that I may face the problem of residency issue
On 1st of July, I got a letter from Mississauga CIC sponsorship that stated that I am not eligible to sponsor as it was launched from outside the Canada. However, they sent the sponsorship application to Singapore via for final decision. After wards, I got an email feedback from Singapore visa office where they acknowledged the receipt of sponsorship application.
Trying everything that went in vain, we (me, my wife and daughter) came to Toronto leaving the boy in Bangladesh. He is just a two years old boy. You can imagine how anxiously we are passing our time here.
After coming here, I just informed the new address in Canada. We have not done anything so far.
Could you please guide me, how to proceed from now on to bring this boy here with us. Do you have any idea how long actually will it take to get him with us!! Thank you in advance for your anticipation.
Nur
