Dear Kollins

I dont completely agree. The check on non-accompanying spouse is not only good if the couple involved may be getting divorced in the near future. It may be tricky and erroneous to assume that non accompanying spouses may be getting divorced. The essence of non accompanying can be applied to a number of scenarios.
First and foremost we have to appreciate the essence of a PR visa. It implies permanent migration to Canada and you can only maintain this status if you are able to spend a certain cumulative number of years in Canada.

If the spouse is not immediately available to migrate and is unable to spend this required number of years in Canada, it is definitely not advisable to tick the accompanying option as the Visa would be issued and activated upon landing. The implication is that the spouse stands to loose the PR status if he or she is unable to fulfill residency requirements as the Visa will otherwise not be renewed.

Worse still, the spouse may also face difficulties in obtaining a temporary visa afterwards because of his or her records. Reasons being that he or she may have to explain why he or she was turned down at a Canadian Border which you agree may be complicated and require legal representation.

There are several reasons why the Spouse may not be able to immediately accompany the family which is not limited to the following:-
1. Political interests
2. Business concerns
3. Work priority
4. does not intend to reside in Canada permanently e.t.c.


It is therefore preferable to plan to sponsor the non accompanying spouse when he or she eventually intends to permanently migate to Canada. For this purpose there is an in-country application and out of country application.

The in-country application can be made from within Canada. The good news is that Canada has started a pilot program for this cadre of spouses which enables them work in Canada while their application is being processed. It is called the OPEN WORK PERMIT.

@ De explorer,
unfortunately i disagree with you, and you may need to reconsider Kollins advise to the respective party.
It is safer to include accompanying spouse nowit will only delay by weeks than apply for an open work permit..DELAY ISNT DENIAL

your link below only accommodates and for answers for individuals from within canada
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=177&t=17


however, you must also understand that spouse in question's information is definitely in the additional family information as the Husband or partner and this person also did medicals if i am not wrong..
More reason AVO always ask for an update of information at every stage..
worse case a request for application fee would be requested and also additional RFRF fees would be required to be paid..

open work permit can't work in this situation.. however open work permit take about 3- 6 months..
why waste time when the delay may only be for another 45days max and they can all do their landing together..

its important to understand the canadian system properly..

NO WONDER THEY ALWAYS ASK FOR UPDATED INFORMATIONs on changes of your situation up until PPR.. hence her situation has changed and she needs to do the needful asap.. she should contact AVO, via CSE...( there is no difference btw adding husband and family except for fees that needs to be paid..


This is an expert advise from a friend that was in a similar situation and also a friend that had an open work permit for close to 6 years before getting his PR last year.. so i know what i am talking about..



NB... Accompany spouse doesn't need to do landing with principal applicant.. as it can be done separately( as every individual has his/ her own Copy of COPR).. BUT the principal applicant MUST BE THE FIRST TO COMPLETE LANDING if they decide not to do landing together due to spouse busy schedule/other business plans/ any other reasons that may be..

@ Bonblu, if u carefully read my post you will observe that my comment is not directed at the applicant who made the enquiry. Kollins advice to her is in order since she desires to make a change at this point however i am directing my concern at his general advice that intending applicants should tick accompanying except they are contemplating a divorce.

I have stated the issues with this advice especially in the event that the couple do not intend for the other to be permanently resident in Canada in the immediate and for their own private reasons.

My advice on sponsorship and the benefit of open work permit relates to a situation where the non accompanying spouse is ready to move to Canada, perhaps many years after when he or she has taken care of their interests in nigeria which initially prevented the the relocation.

I was only providing advise on in- country application process. This will benefit the affected spouse as he or she can apply from within Canada when they are physically present in Canada. Remember that though he may be an unaccompanying spouse, he can also visit his family in Canada anytime and can initiate the sponsorship process then.

My position remains that if anyone is not prepared to fulfill the required residency conditions i.e cumulative years of stay in a given period, they will definitely loose their status.

To God Almighty be all the glories, as I announce to the whole house the delivery of my visa and copr at exactly 11:02am on 2nd July.
It has been only God. This is the journey that started on Dec 2012. I submitted my application for fswp 2013 but was returned due to cap limit.
As I was preparing and waiting for EE, fswp 2014 was announced.
I put the sad incident behind me and moved on. Thank God that He moved with me and made all the crooked ways straight concerning fswp 2014.
I enjoyed His favour throughout the application process.
Though I used agent but I will forever be eternally grateful to the Most High and the forum members.
We shall all make it to canada via this our application IJN.
See you all in Canada by His grace.
Admin kindly update.
Na God win.
Cheers

Congrats Mkbaba. I am happy for you. Please pray along with us too.
