It pretty much means exactly that. PRs must be physically present in Canada to sponsor their spouses. Especially when submitting the app, but also throughout. "Short trips" abroad during the process are okay. (Canadian citizens can be outside Canada but will need to show intent to return/settle...

Yes, the fact that you were common law prior to applying means still eligibile (as long as relationship maintained). Also note, you can apply from abroad to sponsor because you are a citizen (i.e. before you return to Canada). You'll have to show evidence of intent to return to Canada (and then...

Thank you so much for the detailed response. The fact is that my dependent mother was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and forced me to return. She passed in early 2020 and by then the pandemic kicked in. In effect one event led to the other causing a delay in my plans to move. Hopefully the...

Okay. Then the situation is relatively simple, although lacking certainty. To boil down the answer to brief version but in reverse order: -if you all arrive and do not have significant issues at border, you should not have any issues in Canada as long as you remain in country. School etc...

The process seems to be to apply for a temporary or emergency passport, which they can issue before the proof of citizenship is received - on the basis that they child is by descent presumed citizen. There is also a (more rare) method, facilitation visa. In both cases do not need to wait the 15...

Thanks. Im a citizen and previous spouse sponsorship was in 2017-18. Divorce finalized in July 2020. Married again Feb 2022.

If you are a PR, no. If you are a citizen, yes, but you'll have to provide evidence of intent to return to Canada. Previous spouse sponsorship: how long ago was this? Also yes, they will look at the file more closely and it may take longer.

Yeah I figured this might not be that common. I was just curious if this was a "well document" case on the forum from people's experiences or if this might have clear steps from IRCC's side. I agree with you, the hassle is probably not worth it even when it's applicable.

I think the key is that it's not common. Sure, hypothetically you could advise them you became a citizen and now de facto sponsoring from abroad. How much extra hassle would that be and/or create administrative delays or screwups? Or then make iRCC start the procedures they apply for...

It's not uncommon to get a PFL for intent to return. If you are sponsoring your spouse from outside of Canada, you are supposed to include strong evidence of intent to return with the application. If IRCC feels this evidence is insufficient, it's not unusual for a PFL to be the next step. We've...

Sure, phrase it that way if it's true. And yes, show the stuff you have. I also included short letters from relatives that my spouse and I had always planned and discussed the move back to Canada, even a note from my brother that mentioned all the crap I still had in his basement )). This is...

There is no misrepresentation with your application. That's not a concern. The PFL however does indicate an intent to deny your application unless you satisfy the concerns. You don't need a lawyer IMO. It's about the quality of the evidence you provide. You will still need to do this work...

Thanks for the responses and feedback, I had no idea what a "PFL" was until armoured mentioned it and now I am worried and concerned. I did a bit of a Googling and it seems that they assume I misled or miss-represented the application. It is weird because I only left Canada because I was not...

Photos of couple together, with family, from wedding ceremony, travel together abroad, etc. It's not rocket science, read through the examples and suggestions in the app and other threads here. Note, obviously for those living together it is MUCH easier, and longer period living together also...

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children/apply.html Forms here, just start reading through the application and filling out the forms. (If you apply later, you'll have to check that the forms haven't changed -...

This is a really, really good point. Don't want to oversimplify but probably the only two mistakes of significance for the 'sponsor-abroad-returning-to-Canada' applications are not taking it seriously/not preparing in advance of submitting the application - and not continuing to do at last some...

My husband (Canadian citizen) sponsored me (US citizen) when he was living in the US finishing his PhD. Definitely highlight the ties you've maintained like bank accounts, driver's license, etc. As for the job hunting, you can take advantage of those two Canadian degrees you said you have. How...

We want to move to Canada but i work in aviation and the industry isn't too hot in canada now. I need the PR to get a job there and failing which we will remain outside canada where i can find work.

Having been in this situation a bit: you really need to be more precise about why exactly you wish to acquire PR status so long in advance of actually settling. Perhaps there are situations in which it would make some sense. But there are disadvantages as well - and in my view, relatively few...

-She can apply for TRV - he provides an invite. Not guaranteed it will be gratned. -He can sponsor her as spouse or she can apply express entry or both at the same time. No way to say in advance which will be fastest. Timing may not work to 'bring her with him.' Note if he is residing abroad...
