Had you lived together for 12 months before your husband became a PR? If yes, then unfortunately the refusal is correct and you cannot be sponsored. Whether you were dependent on your parents or not is irrelevant.

Please see the previous posts. If you do not declare and add your partner, you will NEVER be able to sponsor her. As well, you would be putting your own PR in jeopardy since you would be committing misrepresentation. A common-law partner is someone you have lived with for a minimum of 12...

There is no problem with having the two at the same time. An application for PR does not give you implied status, so you did the right thing by extending your stay as a visitor.

My wife had the exact same reasons for her TRV (visitor visa) refusals. I think they also flagged employment prospects in her home country. Unfortunately it's quite common for spouses of Canadian citizens or PRs to be refused visitor visas, as they are seen as having a high risk of overstaying...

They are already citizens, they are just waiting for a piece of paper to confirm it. They are not listed in that question. You can submit proof that you have applied for their proof of citizenship.

From the guide: Do not include the sponsor or family members that are already permanent residents or Canadian citizens. Individuals that will not be included in the undertaking should not be included in this total. The children are already citizens and thus should not be included in question 3.

The fact that her visitor visa was refused is not particularly surprising. If you look at a lot of the members in the Family Class section, many of them got visitor visa refusals for the same reason. My wife was refused visitor visas 4 times. IRCC is not going to publish a list of what they...

Becoming common-law is a change in marital status. That's why they call it a common-law spouse.

There is no minimum income to sponsor your spouse. The sponsor cannot be bankrupt or on welfare. Otherwise they are free to change jobs. If you move to a different country during the process, you would need to update IRCC. It has no impact otherwise.

Getting a SIN is easy. Go to any Service Canada office. They will get you one in about 5 minutes (excluding any wait time at the office). Health care depends on the province or territory. Some provinces have wait periods. OHIP is 90 days I believe. You can either pay out of pocket for any...

No, you need to have landed as a PR to get a SIN.

You were not common-law yet, so there is no issue.

You are currently out of status. If your school notified IRCC that you were no longer attending classes, then it's possible that you've been out of status since September. You can try to apply for restoration of status along with your OWP, but if you have been out of status since September, then...

Is your spouse a PR or a Canadian citizen? If no, then you are posting in the wrong section. Given that you said you came on a spouse visa, it sounds as though your spouse is/was a foreign worker or a student. If that's the case, and you are still together (another post mentioned that the...

I believe the OP has posted before about their husband filing for divorce, in which case he would file as divorced, rather than single. The children would still need to be declared and examined.

For the purpose of the application, when it says that the applicant and their spouse, it does include the sponsor. These forms are used for different application types, where the applicant may have a spouse that is not the sponsor (such as parents and grandparents). The principal applicant...

It gets sent by mail. Timelines vary by VO. I've seen anywhere from a few days to a month or more. Check the thread for Vienna to see what people have experienced there. You can go visit if you'd like, but you would have to either flagpole or make an appointment at an IRCC office to land as a...

Nothing has changed. If you are sponsoring a person other than: your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner who has no family members, or your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner who has dependent children who have no dependent children of their own, or your child who has no children of...

If he wants to live in the US and visit Canada, then you must apply outland. One of the requirements of inland is that the applicant and sponsor be cohabiting in Canada throughout the process.

Inland applicants get their COPR at the landing interview.
