anybody from dominican republic?

[starnaenae]

Yes that is a good idea. Ive been reading that getting a visitor visa from the DR is very difficult. If i understand correctly you got married in canada while he was visiting? I didnt think that was even possible. I assumed dominicans needed to get married in their country in order for them to leave.

You are correct. We got married in canada while he is here on a visitor visa. We are coming up on our one year anniversary - our baby was born 12 days ago. They dont need to get married there to leave. Getting the visitor visa is a hit or miss. His mom is here visiting right now - she was approved in 24 hours. You just gotta have strong proof that he will return and the reason for his visit needs to convince the officer. Just to "visit a girlfriend he met a couple months ago" more than likely wont be approved. Review the visitor visa section of this forum too and you can get helpful information there as well as join the group on facebook dominican spouses. Tons of answers there!!!

What is EE and PNP ?

EE is Express Entry
PNP is Provincial Nominee program

You can read about those programs on the IRCC website somewhere
For Hotel managers I am not sure if he qualifies for any programs

I too can't move away from
Canada as my son is here and I don't have full custody of him, otherwise I would love move to where my spouse is

Greetings!
I’m so happy that I’ve found this forum in the hopes that I will get some advise from people who are in the same situation. I’m a Canadian citizen living in Canada. My Dominican husband and I just recently got married after being together in love for just over 1 yr. While we were engaged we applied for a visitor visa which was denied on the grounds that they didn’t believe he would return back to R.D. We are planning to apply for spousal sponsorship very soon but I’m worried that because I’m self employed he will be denied. I met a Canadian man in R.D. while visiting my husband and he told me that it will be difficult for me because the Canadian government wants to see that I have a stable job. Can anyone out here help me out and let me know what you think. I would be so sad if my husband couldn’t come here. Thanks in advance it’s much appreciated!

Hey guys!

I was just hoping i could get some info from members here who had an interview.

My husband had his interview yesterday at the canadian embassy in Santo Domingo. I was a little bummed as my husband told me that he wasn't approved on the spot. The agent told him that he would receive a response in 2 weeks.

The request letter we received for an interview asked that he bring additional things with him to interview, like: passport, pictures, phone calls, conversations, evidence of financial support etc... he took all this with. Im not sure if those here who were requested to att
