Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this. I need some help!
My wife is coming into Canada on January the 10th. When the border guard asks for her intent, she is going to state that she is arriving to visit me with the intent of me sponsoring her for permanent residency.
We have obtained an immigration consultant and she gave my wife a letter to give to the border guards incase something happens. It says;
"Wife is seeking permission today to enter Canada as a temporary resident although her intention is to remain in Canada permanently, per A 22 which states that, "an intention by a foreign national to become a permanent resident does not preclude them from becoming a temporary resident if the officer is satisified that they will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay."
I have been retained by blank and her Canadian husband blank who have begun preparations to file an inland spousal sponsorship application for wife.
Wife meets all the requirements as a temporary visitor. She is aware that until her permanent residency application is approved, she must maintain a valid temporary resident status, which she intends to do. She also understands if her permanent residency application is refused, she must leave Canada immediately.
If you have any questions, please call me."
Pretty good letter.
We are nervous, however. My wife is leaving her job (she had no choice in order to come here). She is not bringing all her stuff, two suitcases. She will be living with my mother and I while we save money and will be bringing over $5000CAD with her. Both me and my mother are going to be at the airport waiting. A lot is at risk here but we do want to be separated any longer.
My consultant said chances are she will be fine but the nerves are still high.
Can anyone give me input or advice on what we should do when shes speaking to the border agent? We have a plan B but are remaining optimistic.
She is an extremely educated engineer. We want to be 10000% honest with the border guard no matter what.
She also has a one way ticket. Should we get a return ticket just incase? My consultant is gonna seek opinions on the matter and figured I would do the same as well.
Any input would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
