You make it sound like Canadians and PR who come back to Canada will find only a minimum wage paying job. That is wrong. Alot of people I know who doesn't have work experiences earned inside Canada found well paid jobs once they arrived in Canada. It depends where in Canada you are settling because all Provinces have different wages, taxes payable and living situations.
Heck Ontario had increase their minimum wage to $15/hour which is considered livable to many people who work low paying jobs.
$15/hr won't sustain a family (at least in a decent living standard).
But regardless, in any case, am I correct to conclude that unless the Canadian person *ALONE* can show income to support the family, they CANNOT have their spouses get PR and live with them?
And what if the Canadian can support the family on their own but only with things like disability benefits?
Or what if they can be fine if the non-Canadian is allowed to work (work permit after the outland application is done)?
You guys see the problem here? I'm not talking about a poor couple. I'm talking about a Canadian who needs/wants to return and don't even want state support, just have the spouse be allowed to work so that they can have enough income. According to what I'm understanding, if I'm not wrong, that's simply impossible as the Canadian must single-handedly be able to support the family.
Please remember that we're talking about an OUTLAND applicaiton. So that means the Canadian is NOT living or working in Canada to begin with.
Or can they just use the shared savings/income as proof? Because in that case my question is moot as the main earner can cover that requirement.
