Yes, she needs to show some proof of her intent to return. This could be job offers, rental agreements, mortgages, or even statements from family members offering to let you live with them until you are settled. Since the process takes an unknown amount of time, people generally make a plan...

Yes, you can visit your husband. Be careful about how much you bring though, because visitors don't usually arrive with a U-Haul of stuff. Bring typical visitor things, or have your husband bring your belongings. Never tell the border guard that you are moving to be with your husband, you cannot...

Well, as a CL couple, you will need at least 2 notarized statements to your relationship anyway. Getting one that attests to how long you've been together is a good idea if you're skimpy on other proofs. It's my opinion you'll need more than just a letter though (even notarized). You'll need...

I think you're completely misunderstanding that statement. You are still required to go through the same application process as everyone else, and still subject to the same level of scrutiny, burden of proof, etc. All it's saying is that in your case, you have one ADDITIONAL requirement, which...

You have to convince the visa officer that it is your intent to return to Canada once your spouse has been granted permanent residency. People do this through a variety of techniques: job offers, interviews for jobs, letters from family, evidence of property ownership in Canada, evidence you...

There is no income requirement for spousal sponsorship, however you will need to prove how you intend to cover the costs of living for you and your spouse once you return to Canada. For the work you have been doing as long as you include an explanation about it, you should be fine. Get a few...

This is bad information. Unfortunately the call centre frequently gives out bad information. The rule that the woman mentioned (being allowed to sponsor from outside of Canada as long as you can prove you have an intent to return to Canada) applies to citizens only. Since you are a PR, you must...

No, your status doesn't matter. CIC will actually advise people to use the visitor status to their advantage if they want to qualify for Common-Law. If you've been outside of Canada for 1 year, don't have a home or apartment, don't have a job in Canada, or own a business in Canada, you are...

Very interesting points! Our intention is indeed to "trial" the experience, because she has never even been to Canada at all. But as we trial, getting the PR going is surely best. Also, we rent in London and don't want to stash our stuff here, we'd rather get a shipment going instead. Worse...

I don't know how the working holiday visa works I'm afraid - too old hahaha While getting in as a visitor is likely it is not 100% guaranteed. She may be expected to show intent to return to the UK including return flights. She will also be limited in what she can take of hers at the time as...

There's not really an "instant" denial; it will still take a lot of months for the app to be reviewed and then denied :). Main reason is that CIC determines the relationship isn't genuine. They do call interviews first to clear up any doubts about the relationship. But if you have a look at the...

Hi Sweden Thanks a lot for sharing your notes on your process,very interesting! By traveling do you mean that you went to these places where you got the police records for longer than 6 months? I only sent in police certificates for the places where I spent longer than 6 months in.

Thanks for the insight Sweden!

Hey! I actually ordered my GCMS notes a while ago and got them after 30 days, by email. I've been approved already a while ago, so it was pure curiosity from my part, I wanted to see if I could get more info about the process itself. Since we all speculate a lot (while waiting) and try and...

I just reviewed your other posts. Glad to hear you finally got the sponsor approval letter! Since you are a Citizen, my question is answered. I just wanted to make sure because PRs have to remain in Canada other than taking short trips. So for that your also good to go. Did you manage to contact...

Thats all good. I did that and explained other stuff in a letter.

Thanks for the tip, what do you think about my 'proof of intent to return'? Edit: You have to pay the fees before the medical exam?

For proof of intent to return, I have: letter from my aunt letter from my best friend (both willing to house us and assist us in finding employment) letter from my parents promissing financial aid print out of a conversation with a real estate agent about house viewing and purchasing a house...

Yes, a citizen can be outside of Canada while sponsoring his/her spouse. You will need to provide proof you intent to return to Canada after your wife gets her PR. Because the wait time is 14 months, you can write a letter to CIC stating you will provide proof once they are ready to issue the...

Hi, I'm a Canadian citizen planning to quit my job and go live with my fiance in Vietnam and most likely have kids as soon as possible (we're both mid 30's with me being a few months older). I plan to leave for Vietnam in January and start preparing for our wedding in a month thereafter. I...
