Thank you, amc90. Were you eventually successful in obtaining PR? Also, her state record check does show the misdemeanor criminal mischief for shoplifting (and states that the value was under $100). We had ordered both the FBI certificate and the state.

I posted yesterday in a panic and I've calmed down significantly since then. I apologize if I seemed insane. Now I do have a question about my wife's inadmissibility. The reason I'm now questioning this is because a few people here and on Reddit were questioning it and now I'm unsure. This is...

Sorry should have been more clear! It's not that I need to wait it's that I want to wait. I just moved to Canada a few months ago. It was a very last-minute thing. Within a span of a couple of weeks I put a downpayment on a house, moved all my stuff, etc. As such, I was worried about having to...

I didn't know that! Truth is, I don't even have my Canadian passport yet. I was told at the border that I can just wait until my USA one expires if I want. I'm going to assume that we won't run into many issues once she has PR since at our usual port we haven't had issues with her TRP. I do...

Can a PR get a Canadian passport after a certain amount of time?

Thank you! I didn't know that.

There's no reason to be rude.

I've never been 100% sure that she was inadmissible but I had spoken to a lawyer on the phone who wanted me to hire him and he said she was. Apparently theft under $5,000 in Canada is a hybrid offense which would make her inadmissible. It upsets me so much because it was just a stupid thing she...

Darn, I was hoping we could apply now. Oh well, we will wait until October then. Thank you! :)

So my wife currently has a TRP. She will be able to apply for rehabilitation in October (approximately 5 months or so). It will make 5 years since she was charged with a misdemeanor charge for shoplifting in the USA. She had shoplifted a $50 tank top from a mall and was not arrested but was told...

This is all very interesting, Aelin! Thank you so much you've given me a bit of hope as I was in a very dark spot today. My wife and I spent the first year of our relationship 4.5 hours apart before she moved to where I was living (in the states at the time). Since then, we haven't been apart...

How does the inland application work? How was he able to stay with you while you waited for the application to go through? :)

When he was denied access that one time he was never allowed to cross again? Or you guys just didn't want to risk it? I'm so devastated right now. My wife is actually here visiting me (we crossed no problem at our usual port) and I can't stop crying. It just feels like it's going to take so...

Seriously, thank you Rob_TO you've calmed me down significantly. I just can't wait for this whole thing to be over, you know? I just want to get the sponsorship and move on. I'll talk to my wife. She won't have school in the summer so maybe she can stop working for the summer too. If not...

OH, also kind of unrelated. But before we realized her shoplifting charge would stop her from getting sponsorship, we had ordered an FBI background check. It came back clear of any crimes but we know for a fact she had been charged with a misdemeanor in the USA almost five years prior. She...

See, this whole time I thought the in and out was a good thing because it showed she was doing stuff in the USA. That's what I had been told, anyway, when I got her the TRP (that she was fine going to work and stuff). I guess that's where my confusion was coming in. I called our usual port and...

Yes, we did get permission and it is printed on the TRP itself. :)

Thank you for explaining that clearly and nicely. That makes sense. So, if she quits her job and school and stays here temporarily until the TRP is through that should be fine? I called the border and they said as long as she can prove she has ties to the USA it's fine for her since she does...

It's not a TRV it's a TRP. There is a difference between the two.

Yes but the website states that reasons for being denied re-entry include overstaying, breaking laws, etc. I'm not sure what else I can do but provide them pay stubs, bills she pays in the USA, rent bills, school documents, etc to show them that she has significant ties to the USA and will...
