Re: mucho problemo....
hi guys.
im in a problemo....long story, cut to chase....
im in BC...family still in uk....
before i moved over, we sat down and discussed that i would come over first, settle down, then rest would follow as and when.
now, ive got a job, all looking good, but family say they dont wanna come!
wife is complaining of stress running the family, working a nd looking after house.
kids are in their 20s...1 working fulltime, other 2 at uni...they are saying theyre gonna fail due to extra pressures of me not being there (they ahve to pick mum up and drop her off at work, taking the dog for walks, take mum shopping etc etc)
my PR runs out in apr 2014, as does wife's.....if i want to renew it, a new law has been passed now that asks for 2 years tax returns as proof of Canadian residence (this applies for both new PR cards as well as citizenship)
if i go back now, no way can i have any tax returns to show.
they are unanimous...they want me back.
if i go back, it ll be back to same old drudgery, take wife to work, pick her up, drop son off to uni, pick him up, take dog for his walk, feed him, blah blah
end result....goodbye canada!
what can i do....

I am going to side with the family back home.
You don't want to go back to the drudgery as you call it but you left them in it for 2? 3 years, while you established yourself here. Why did it take so long before you decided it was time to bring them over? What stopped you going back home after giving it a fair crack? Now I get that it is hard to make a new life but if it took 2 years to get a job and you still stayed then at some stage you must have decided on Canada over the family. That's probably how it looks to them, that you abandoned them while you are having a whale of a time over here.
IMHO you want to split with them but it is easier for you to blame them.
Apologies if wrong.
