cos we are going to go on the basis that my husband just moved to canada and hence has no job and hasn't filed tax returns, but is capable of financially sponsoring me (although the income level isn't a requirement)

Thanks willnnv! are you required to have filed tax returns? any idea as to what happens if my husband has not filed any tax returns?

Hi, need to know this urgently, my husband is a permanent resident in canada, however, he isn't residing in canada at the moment so technically can't sponsor me (I'm living in Sri Lanka), so my question is 1. does he HAVE TO buy an apartment/house etc to prove that he is residing in canada? 2...

Also, how many months did they give on the TRV? and how many months did you ask for when you applied for the TRV?

Hi Willnv It’s great news that your wife’s visa came through. My husband and I are planning on going through the same process you guys did. Applying for a PRV, wait till he gets the approval for sponsorship and then I apply for a TRV (since I’m from Sri Lanka and am residing in Sri Lanka at the...

Excellent, Does CIC typically contact the sponsor via telephone or in person? I didn't want to leave my wife alone in the US, so was thinking of applying, going to US and then having a relative pick up mail and fedexing over to the US. Thanks again

Hi Leon, Many thanks. Yes you are correct, I am on an F-1 and plan to have my wife in US on an F2. Reg CIC contacting me, if I use a lawyer, won't CIC make all correspondence via a Lawyer? I am a bit confused about applying for Outland when I am in the US, since I am canadian PR holder...

Hi RobsLuv, If I use a lawyer and file the paperwork through them and then travel for about 1- 2 months and then leave come back to resume my residency requirements in Canada will that still be a problem? If I use a lawyer for the sponsorship process, wouldn't CIC send all correspondence to...

Hi Leon, I am just going to attend my religious marriage ceremony and honeymoon and then will return to Canada - is this still problematic?

Hi Pea, Thanks, so what I was thinking is that I move to Canada in May 2009 (after I finish my Master's) and either get a job or rent an apartment for one year to show that I intent to live in Canada. I will then submit my application for my wife's sponsorship and get any correspondence...

Hi RPM, THANKS, so much... so you are saying that my wife's visa application (after say I apply to sponsor her) is prone to get rejected - i thought the dual intention doctrine allowed for this? I really want to be with my wife after we get married...i hope there is some option available for...

Hi RPM, Many thanks for the quick response, will definitely check the threads you noted. Do you know what needs to be proven to show intent to reside in Canada? Obviously, an apartment, job offer, maybe a business license? I sincerely intend to reside in Canada, I just need some time to...
