Well I am August 01 2019 sponsor. Our case hasn’t moved further then AOR2 that was feb 28 2020.
hoping to see LVO Start working with actual pace and flow.
Best of luck to you.
If my husband (the PA in the USA) wanted to quit his job & come visit for 2 or 3 months while we’re still waiting for everything after AOR2 would he have any issues? He’d have a return ticket and only be bringing clothes. Nothing to look like he’s moving at all.
I know that in the process of getting a visitor record one of the things I was asked was proof of ties back to the States, and another was proof of how I would support myself economically during my visit. If I had not had a rental agreement for a place in the States and a continuing source of income (I work remotely) that might have made it look like I was coming to Canada permanently and I might not have been granted the VR.
However you do have an application in process (as we do) and I have seen this situation referred to as one with “dual intent”...but I don’t understand how to navigate that conversation without some things that demonstrate that your spouse has an income and ties back to the States. Surely someone here knows more than I do.
Thanks for the reply. He’s been saving for his move here and doesn’t have to pay for anything when he visits because I’m currently living with my parents until our application is approved and we’ll get a place when he’s finally here permanently. But, we had lots of visits cancelled due to the pandemic and were in the end stages of the application. Obviously we have no idea of knowing when it’ll be approved but we miss each other and he wants to visit but won’t be able to get the time he needs off work so he just wanted to quit and come visit for a month or two and then go back. He would still have a car at home he needs to pay for etc. We’re not gonna bother if it’s too much of a hassle but just wondering what sort of issues we’d run into.
Is there a way his work will allow a leave of absence and write a letter indicating he’d have a position still waiting for him when he returns? That, plus the demonstration of funds to support himself and pay for any healthcare issues, plus a place he can clearly demonstrate is a place he has a home address (bills, rental agreement?) in the States to which he would return, would likely satisfy officers of his ability to be in Canada without being a drain on the system and of his ties to and intent to return to the States.
Sadly no, they won’t do that, especially with the quarantines and stuff it makes it so much longer, it’s too much time. Yep, he has bills and stuff, no rental agreement. Parents are helping us both out by letting us stay rent free to save as much as possible to buy a house once he gets here. We’ve lucked out in that sense. And it’s only two months, we have money if anything were to happen. Plus, he’d have a return ticket to go home. It’s all so complicated, can’t wait for this to be over. Such a frustrating experience.
Is he a US citizen? If so, honestly, you may be overthinking this. He comes up for a visit for a few months, and has savings to support himself. He's planning to go back and has a return ticket. If they ask about his PA application, just admit it and don't get into his employment position. If it comes up, sure, he quit his job, plans to go back and find other work until his PR comes through.
No guarantees but it's not that unusual to come up for a visit from USA.
Thanks for the reply. Yes he’s a citizen. Im not overthinking it at all. I was thinking it would be straight forward until the person above replied with all this information lol (which was also helpful) .. I figured just as much with what you just said. I didn’t think it would be so complicated. It’s just a visit lol. Thanks!
Apologies, may have missed who said what.
Obviously sometimes people do have problems.
It might be just a visit, but...I replied with the questions I’ve been asked at the border as an American spouse of a Canadian citizen coming to visit for an extended period - before we had a pandemic that restricted border traffic. My hope is that your spouse has those things thought out and documented (along with proof of your marriage), and then CBSA lets them through with a minimum of fuss.
