Hello,
I am a dual US-Canadian citizen, with Canadian citizenship by descent. While I spent summers in Cape Breton growing up, I've lived my whole life in the US. I am interested in sponsoring my husband and 16 year old son, both US citizens, so we can all move together to Canada.
From what I understand, I can sponsor them, although depending on C-71's implementation, my son may also become a citizen and thus not need sponsorship. It seems the big hurdle in all this is showing/proving we intend to live in Canada, which we do.
My question is, if I were to apply to sponsor them, can we go to Canada to wait/live while our application is being processed? I feel like moving to Canada would obviously show our intent to live there. But I don't know if we're allowed to do that?
Also, if the implementation of C-71 is delayed and I apply to sponsor my son, as well, would we just withdraw that? Or would he be granted citizenship upon arrival to Canada if we're allowed to go and wait while our application is processed?
Thank you so much for any help/insight you can provide!
