Hi guys, I need your help here.
I'm a Canadian citizen. Last May I got married in the US to my US-citizen wife, and I've had multiple calls with IRCC and CBSA to explain my situation. Few calls later which one of them was 3 hours long, I got a confirmation that I wouldn't need a sponsorship application to get her into the country on temporary residence until we get the application in the works.
When we were at the Canadian-US boarders, the situation was different. The CBSA agent was extremely rude and he wanted to send my wife back to the US. I refused to let her go and put her back, and we spent 3 hours being interrogated and shouted at basically.
At the end, the officer gave her 2 months temporary residence for us to start the sponsorship process. However, the catch was that we need to leave Canada and enter before the 2 months and show the agent at the boarders that we filed the application and paid the fees. And the new agent will determine if she will enter Canada on another temporary residence or will be sent back to the US.
Besides the fact that this is humiliating to a Canadian citizen trying to bring his wife to the country, I've only followed the advice I was given by phone by IRCC and CBSA. The officer said this is the worse advice I've ever given.
Is there anything I can do about this? I know thay we should be working on the sponsorship application now, and that we have to leave and enter the country again through a boarder. What should I do? I feel stuck.
