    Retaining Legal Status

    Hello! I tried calling the CIC directly about this issue, but the call centre person I got was pretty short with me and still didn't really clarify things. :T Sorry in advance that this is so long, wow. When my wife came into Canada from the US, we explained our situation (married, applying...

    Does this count as "work"?

    Yikes, sorry for not responding; I didn't get notified of replies this time around. We sort of figured this might be the case but thought it was worth asking. We absolutely don't want to be doing anything skeevy or even just potentially questionable, so I think therefore given the replies here...

    Does this count as "work"?

    We're working on a PR application. My wife's visitor status sheet, of course, states that she is not allowed to be employed in Canada because she's still just legally a visitor. This is understandable, since they don't want you making money they can't tax, I imagine. However, we were...

    Spousal Application - Work Status

    I've looked at it, since I've been going through the checklist and rigmarole of putting everything together, but my legal council told me originally that if you're within Canada, you have to apply inland, so naturally that's all I've been looking at. :/ Apparently my lawyer has no idea what...

I've already had concerns a few times regardless, though. I live in a small town at the moment and this lawyer was actually the only one...

    Spousal Application - Work Status

    After we collect all the necessary things for the application, my lawyer was actually the one who was planning to put everything in order and send it out so I... honestly don't know. Actually, before coming to this forum, I was unaware you could apply outland. I sort of just assumed in my...

    Spousal Application - Work Status

    Thanks so much for replying! I've seen this info on the forum a few times now and it's really reassuring. Having an example from someone's personal experience is especially fantastic, though.

    Spousal Application - Work Status

    Hi! I'm sponsoring my American wife for PR, and she'll be staying with me and applying from inside Canada. I know I have to provide my job status and option C printout covering the last 12 months, but my employment status over the last year has been abysmal and I've made very, very little...
