There is no distinction between citizens in this regard. You are confusing the rules for PR's (who must reside in Canada to sponsor a spouse) and Citizens (who can sponsor a spouse from overseas but must demonstrate intent to return to Canada).

We plan to submit photos of us together, of us with my wife's family and with us and my family. I assume that is what they want to see. Do you need to write the date and names of the people in the photo on the back? How many pictures is considered "normal" to send? Also is a letter from my...

Not to hijack the thread, but rule changes to 4 of 6 years? When does that take affect? My Canadian wife is sponsoring me, a US citizen, and we just began stage 2 of the process. I was under the impression the requirement was 3 years out of 4 to apply for citizenship. When does that change?

I disagree. Physically residing in a country counts in many parts of the world. Student visa etc. counts towards citizenship in many countries (such as in Australia as somebody mentioned earlier). But even residing in a country without official documents often counts. Maybe not in US, but in the...

You are just a troll, but lets make it clear what the privilege of citizenship means: * Understand and hold dear Canadian values (which you personally do not, as you have disrespected Her Majesty numerous time in this forum) - This is learned by LIVING in Canada, not in Germany. * Be integral...

I agree that there is no hidden agenda but I disagree on the issue of counting pre-PR time. I don't see why it should count. The only argument I've heard in favor of this is that the people in student or temporary worker status have been paying taxes and contributing to society. Sorry but that...

CDNMOM: you are absaloutly right i do think i am sitting here over thinking everything and going nuts on it. I had planned to remain with my husband until he got his visa. on the form i said ill be going back by april of 2015 i thought that would be suffiecient. on a few forums i saw some ppl in...

Hey :) I think you like most people are overthinking this... you won't be put on the dreaded interview list if they doubt your intention to return to Canada. Nor will this delay your application processing. The only reason that people end up on the interview list is if the visa officer...

Exactly! "Paying taxes" has become a worn-out cliche that is used too often to elicit emotions from listeners when someone's trying to argue that they're entitled to a benefit. Here's a fact: It does not matter what your status is Canada is, permanent or temporary. If you earn any income in...

We just submitted our application so don't know yet if our proofs of intent to return were sufficient. We only included three documents, but thought they were enough to make the argument. We included the title for a home in BC we jointly purchased, my sponsor's formal letter to her employer in...

In order to sponsor, you have to have the intention of returning to Canada to live with your wife. If you wish to continue living outside Canada, you are not eligible to sponsor. Of course, if your intention is to go to Canada but then something happens and it changes after your wife has...

Oh, this just keeps getting better and better :). I suggest we include that, plus any other bigotry we can come up with here, in the Bill. But wait, the Cons won't let anybody change a word of it :)!

I assume your wife has given up her American passport? She has no intent to live there, does she?

My wife's the American. We've been dealing with delays and headaches from an immigration system that is broken because of too many abusers. Maybe you don't like everything that is in this Citizenship Reform act. Quite frankly, if you're arguing that living here for three years entitles you to...

Ok that makes sense - I have to separate PR requirements from citizenship requirements. I'm at stage 2 - have been approved as a sponsor. That's great so he could maintain PR status until we return for good and then we would start counting for CC.....thanks for clarifying.

Time spent abroad does not count towards Canadian citizenship. It only counts to PR obligations if applicant is living with Canadian sponsor. For citizenship, you MUST meet requirements for living inside Canada. Based on upcoming rule changes, your husband will most likely need to live inside...

For Canadian citizens, time spent living together anywhere in the world will count towards the 2 years out of 5 PR obligations. So you shouldn't need to worry. When he's approved for PR, he will still need to "land" as PR in Canada, but then can live in another country with you. Note that if...

Hi friends, I am sponsoring my wife for PR. She is from a non exempt country (Thailand). I want to invite her on a TRV with dual intent, while application is in process. She has done her medicals, police clearance, holds a good job in Merchandising for a large retailer (similar to Best Buy /...

You should post in the family sponsorship section of this forum. If you have lived together 12 months and can prove it, you can apply immediately while you are still in Germany for her PR. You just need to show intent to return to Canada once it's approved. While her PR is in process (could...
