I'm a Canadian, my wife isn't. We applied for spousal sponsorship for her outland. At the time, I lived in Ontario, so I did not declare an intention to reside in Quebec. However, since then I have gotten a job in Quebec and I live here.
Today I read that when my wife is approved for permanent residence and goes through the landing procedure, she can be refused at the point of entry if the officer deems that she intends to live in Quebec, but does not have a CSQ. Is this true?
If so, what should we do? If I understand correctly, a CSQ normally has to be obtained before the federal sponsorship application is submitted. Is it simply a matter of belatedly obtaining a CSQ and then informing CIC of our altered intentions? Can this be done?
The alternative is drastic. My job is in Quebec, but luckily it is flexible. I could move back in with my parents while keeping an apartment in Montreal...work part of the week, and commute—and continue to do so when she is a PR. It sounds exhausting, but I will do it if I must.
