Thanks a lot Arkansas2045 my wife(Canadian Citizen) is here in Pakistan, and we are planing that she should stay here until my PR arrives. She has to get back to her job in FEB 2012 after maternity leave, i'm confused either to send her back or stay together, as it will be difficult for her to manage things on her own. She went to Canada fairly recently and have little social contact to count on in my hour of need.
Please advise
Regards
Oh boy, this is a tough one! 'No intentions to settle back in Canada' is one of the objections handed out by CHC.
If your wife stays with you for too long then CHC might say that you guys don't have the intention of settling back in Canada. Your wife will then need to provide "Recent Notice of assessments, credit card bills, bank statements, cell phone bills, apartment lease in her name, letters of Relatives or friends supporting your wife's plans of settling back in Canada once PR is received, tickets/boarding passes/copy of passport showing that wife is back in Canada, letter from employer if she is working and on leave, current tenancy contract or property ownership deeds." to convince the immigration officer otherwise. Your application process will be further delayed by a few months. Don't know if you want to take this route. My recommendation would be to send her back to Canada in Feb...
I would suggest posting this question on "CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2009 -2010" forum as well, as there are senior members quite active on that forum who can perhaps advise otherwise.
