Hi guys,
I'm curious about some things, and I was wondering if you can give me your opinions?
I'm Canadian, and my girlfriend (whom I will eventually marry) lives in Brazil.
1. Is it a red flag for the CIC if I marry her and then sponsor her right away (i.e: within 1 month or 2)? Would that make it seem like we rush things? Or is it better to wait for a long time (i.e: 6 months) before I sponsor her?
Our relationship is genuine, but I want to make sure we don't do things that could cause the CIC to misunderstand our intentions.
2. Once we have submitted the aponsorship and permanent residence applications, is it a good idea for her to come visit me in Canada as a visitor? Does her chance of getting the visitor visa become lower?
3. She also plans to study here, so what if we do these (all will be after our marriage of course):
a. Submit our sponsorship and permanent resident apps to the CIC
b. She applies for a student visa
c. She goes to study in Canada as an international student, and lives with me, all while waiting for her to get her permanent residence.
Anything wrong with the above plan?
Hmmm, speaking of which.....when we submit our apps, she will still be in Brazil, which means it's an outland application. But if she goes to study here before she gets her permanent residence, would the CIC start treating her PR application as inland?
Thanks!
