Hi folks,
I am sorry my story is very long, I will add as many details as possible. I understand I can't get a definite answer as there is no such thing with Covid. However, any insight from people would help very much in making my decision.
I am a Canadian citizen and I had been living with my American Partner for a two years (6 months of which was in Canada), due to certain circumstances we could not get married while I was there in the US and now those circumstances are gone so we are able to get married. We went on a pre marriage honey moon over seas in March, then as we were going back to the US everything Hit and we were separated at the border and I was not allowed to Enter the states so we stayed in Canada for two weeks to try again and same thing so he had to go back for very important doctor appointments.
Now he finished his doctor appointments and dealt with all circumstances that prevented us from getting married before. So we decided for him to move to our beautiful country instead of me moving there. I have two questions,
1- First question is regarding him crossing the border , I have my car still in the US that I couldn't go get because I wasn't allowed in (wasn't due to cover last time I was denied was due to me being high risk of being illegal). I also have my dog over there with him ( he has one I have one but obviously now they are both our fur babies). Will him driving my car and dog back to me be considered essential since I live in a remote area 35 mins from Ottawa with no public transit. I would think this is essential but since he lives in California and I live in Ontario now its a 5 day drive to be refused entry.
2- As I have been reading here its better for reunification if the spouse/common law shows intent to permanently stay with me in Canada get married and apply inland, but wouldn't that go against him since he is showing intent of permanent staying and the whole ties to his countries and temporary visiting.
Obviously the best case scenario is for the border to reopen end of June but we are trying to prepare for worst case scenario which is many more months of closure, I live in a two bed room apartment and work from home and have no problem quarantining with him for the 14 days. I also don't have any family here as I moved to Canada 10 years ago from over seas.
If anyone knows or can suggest anything I would greatly appreciate it and feel free to ask questions if you need more clarification on the situation.
