Hello everyone,
I need your urgent help regarding my sponsorship application submitted in August, 2017. It was an outland application. I sponsored my wife ,currently living in India.
In January, 2018; I received a letter from the IRCC indicating that I am not an eligible sponsor and I haven't submitted application for a family member.
My situation is quite complicated. In my own PR application, I received passport request on May 04, 2017. As I was planning to get married on May 15, 2017; I contacted CPC-Ottawa and asked if I could add my wife to my application after getting married. In reply, I was told by CPC-Ottawa that my PR application was approved and it can not be re-opened to add my wife. Either you can withdraw your application and re-apply with your spouse's information to it or become a PR and sponsor your wife under Family Class. I went back to India and got married on May 15, 2017 and returned to Canada. I sent my passport to IRCC and did landing to become a PR. After marriage and before landing, I contacted the IRCC agent and informed them about change in my marital status. He told me to finish my landing and become a PR and then to sponsor my spouse in Family Class category instead of asking me for further details to examine my wife.
During landing, I told the officer that my marital status was changed and now I have a dependent. They still asked my to put NO in COPR because for my application, it was approved when I was single (which is an inaccurate information from the officer, they should have hold my landing and examine my spouse instead).
Now, I am sponsoring my wife and I think I will be accused of misrepresentation. The application is still under process.
I was thinking to withdraw the application and fix my marital status issue with the IRCC before submitting the sponsorship application again.
I can wait for decision for this application and also can appeal against it but I have no proof which can prove that I was given wrong information over the phone and during landing as well. Please give me your suggestions. What should I do?
Applying independently as a skilled worker is an option but is there any way I can fix this mess and still sponsor her?
