Hello,
This is my first post, so please excuse any errors.
My husband and I live in the UK (England) and we have a 1.5 year old daughter together. He has been living here since 2009 and I moved here in 2013 and right now we are both residing in UK. Husband is here on a tier 2 work visa and my daughter and I are on tier 2 partner/work visa. All of our visas will be expiring soon in August 2016.
I am now planning to sponsor my husband and daughter to Canada under spouse visa and dependent child visa respectively. I was wondering does my husband need a police character certificate from UK and Pakistan (since he is Pakistani and has visited there for ore than 6 months since 2009).
The information I have read states that you need a PCC if you are coming as a live in care giver, tourist, student or temporary worker. My husband will not be coming as any of those so does he need one still?
Also I will be applying for the sponsorship visa from UK, is that fine? Or do I have to be in Canada to apply for his sponsorship? I am a naturalized Canadian citizen. If I go to Canada then I will have to take my daughter with me as a visitor, would that be an issue? I mean will they ask at the airport why my husband didn't come with me? Once I get there and apply for his and my daughter's sponsorship, would that cause any issues?
Thanks
