[Miss bee]

Wrong again. U just have to be here for the visa



Wrong again. You just have to be in canada for the visa

Hahah read this from guide.

You can become a sponsor if you are:
at least 18 years old
a Canadian citizen, a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act or a permanent resident,
living in Canada:
if you’re a Canadian citizen living outside Canada, you must show that you plan to live in Canada when your sponsored relative becomes a permanent resident.
You can’t sponsor someone if you’re a permanent resident living outside of Canada.

Man it’s wrong. Read the guide which is on CIC website. If says you can sponsor someone , doesn’t matter what your lawyer says . Everything works according to guide.

They left almost half of march applicants without any aor or anything

In response to the discussion regarding whether a PR can spend an extended period outside Canada whilst sponsoring their spouse; it clearly states a PR must be living in Canada to be eligible to sponsor.

You can absolutely chance visiting your home country to be with your spouse for an extended period and hope that when (not if) they find out you’ve left Canada, they consider that you’re just visiting.

But why would you risk operating in such a clear grey area?

Perhaps you don’t take either your PR status or your application to sponsor seriously and are willing to jeopardise your long term plans for the short term.

I appreciate it can be heart breaking to be without your spouse but your future plans together must take precedent right?!

Just my opinion¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Living and visiting are 2 different things. You are considered a Canadian resident if you live in Canada a total of 183 days or more in a year, from what I understand.
I visited my wife in August for a month, and came back to Canada. Don't see how this could be an issue.

You are wrong at your point. He has to live in canada while sponsering her wife but it doesn't means he can't visit her wife. He can travel anywhere but for short period of time and that is the condition.

Hey I didn’t said you can’t visit spouse. I said you can’t stay while application is being processed. Please read upper comments before answering anything.


Please read what i mentioned to him
Wrong,if you are pr holder sponsoring your spouse and your spouse is outland , you gave to stay in Canada while application is getting processed. 4-6 weeks vacation is fine but longer than that , your application will have negative impact. If you are citizen you are free to leave country.

I don't think anyone has said that a visit of a month or less is likely to be a problem. But it's clear you cannot be "living outside Canada."

You cannot rely on the "you are considered a Canadian resident if you live in Canada 183 days or more" rule; that's (if I'm not mistaken) for tax purposes.

IRCC does not have to use that definition and there's no indication it does - the fact they use different language, "living outside Canada", pretty much shows that. Anyone who relies on that 183 days definition is taking the risk of their app being rejected.

You can leave as long as you need to. As long as you are visiting. No timeframe on a visit just has to be reasonable. Y'all are making things more complicated than it has to be. That has nothing to do with the application as long aa they are still a resident of Canada and where they place on the application. I visited my husband 2X since the application and I haven't changed my address or stopped paying for my bills because I live in Canada... Yes your not going to leave for 6 months and consider it a visit. Just use your discretion. You can't stay with them for the entire process unless you are a visitor.

I don't know what you are saying different - the only question is what is reasonable and what time frame they use to decide when someone is no longer a resident. (I don't believe anyone said visiting more than once is not allowed, either.)

But I don't think it's safe to say 'you can leave as long as you need to' - some here seem to be talking about leaving for extended periods (several or many months) or not even residing in Canada, landing and then leaving.

(I know you're not saying that)

And I don't think it's enough to just not change your address. They have access to entry and exit records.

We already know that

When people ask this question... In GENERAL People answer in away to scare the person from leaving all together. If you notice I did not reply to anyone directly so no need to feel attacked... Stay Blessed

I've not seen this.

PRs can and should visit their spouses. They should also be aware that staying too long abroad (eg more than a month at a time) could indeed cause problems with their spousal application.
