It was almost 5 years ago. She is applying for rehabilitation and we are doing spousal sponsorship right after. She is able to apply for rehabilitation in October. I don't want to be apart from her until October I will literally die.

This is literally not making sense to me and I'm trying not to be dense. You're saying she shouldn't be leaving every day but she shouldn't be staying either. So, what should she be doing? If someone from, say, Europe, gets a two-year TRP and is a temporary resident in Canada for two years and...

The TRP literally says that, though. It says that back and forth won't invalidate the TRP. If someone from Africa is issued a TRP are they expected to fly back to Africa every night to sleep? I'm just so confused as to why she can't spend the night with me if she has an address, job, and work in...

No there is no problem ever at our usual port. She leaves every day and goes to the USA and then comes to sleep over at my place at night. The TRP says this exactly "This is to certify that the person named herein is hereby allowed to come into Canada, or being in Canada, to remain herein for...

She has a TRP (temporary residence permit not temporary residence visa) and it literally says she can stay in Canada until the TRP is expired. Why would she need to sleep in the USA every night if she has legal status to remain in Canada temporarily for a year? The TRP states that leaving Canada...

That makes sense. Thank you. But, am I doing something illegal by my wife spending nights with me? We were told by him that we were. At the same time, I was told by the office who issued the TRP that she can stay with me until the TRP expires as long as she retains ties to the USA. The officer...

I'm a Canadian citizen (dual citizen with the USA). I was born in Canada but moved to the USA in childhood and I recently moved back to Canada in order to be closer to my work. I purchased a house here. So, my wife isn't Canadian. We were applying for spousal sponsorship when we found out that...

So I moved to Canada (Canadian citizen) with my wife (here on a TRP until PR become eligible). I've applied for a TIN number to get my car across the border (export from USA to Canada) and the guys at the border already know that the TIN hasn't come in yet. My questions are as such: 1) Once...

Thank you for your help, Scylla. Just a few more details! 1) She has never been denied entry before and we cross the border almost every day (very small town). I just really don't want them to start denying her entry just because she has a TRP and I'm living in Canada. 2) But there are people...

So, I bought a house in Canada and I'm officially moving on Friday. My wife will be eligible to apply for criminal rehabilitation (minor shoplifting charge when she was 18) in 10 months. The CBP officer told us to apply at the office and it would only take a few weeks. Anyway, she was issued a...

I'm a dual citizen moving back to Canada (after living in the USA for about 24 years). In 2012, I got a green cheek conure from a breeder in Texas. He has never had health problems, been around other parrots, etc. I stopped at the border to ask what I needed to do to bring him with me and they...

Thank you, that gives me hope. The border officer we spoke to looked over her court information and said that he is very confident she will be approved for rehabilitation once the 5 years is up since this isn't a serious criminal matter (like DUI, assault, etc).

Oh, that is bad news :(. I just bought a house in Canada, but luckily she can come stay with me until she is eligible to be rehabilitated. Then we will apply for PR, I guess. Is there any chance that she does get the rehabilitation approved but is still told she can't have PR because of this...

Hello everyone! So, this is an update concerning my wife and I. I had been worried because, when my wife was 19, she got caught for shoplifting a tank top. She was given a ticket and asked to appear in court. She plead guilty and received a $200 fine (no jail time, probation, or anything else)...

We didn't receive the FBI clearance yet, but I had someone I know at the Canadian border we cross almost every day check her out on the computer and no criminal record shows up at the border. I have no idea. I've tried calling CIC but unfortunately the link keeps saying there's a high call...

Shoot. I called an attorney just to be sure and she is in fact criminally inadmissible. Apparently even a small charge makes her inadmissible. He recommended I retain him so that he can file for criminal rehabilitation. I dunno though, it's only been 4.5 years since she paid the $200 fine. Will...

Thank you, Buletruck. I'll try not to freak out. I asked my friend at the border if her name pops up on the background check thing (NCIC I believe) because we cross almost every day without incident. He said no crime shows up for her at all, which is really strange because her state background...

Should we check with an immigration lawyer to be sure? Her record doesn't show up in NCIC but she clearly was convicted of a misdemeanor 4.5 years ago for theft under $100 (but she decided to take a charge of mischief because she thought it sounded better). She was never arrested though. She...

Thank you, are you sure? I just ask because I know that theft is a hybrid offense in Canada. :(

Please help :(
