They are separate processes,but they will look at it with a bit more concern,but has your sponsorship been refused?If not dont worry about problems that arent there yet.There will be much more for you to worry about through this process.

no my fear is at least she come and go twice a year, I worry about any trouble come in future
in her last visit immigration gave her really hard time. She can not speak English understand very little , So she said to officer she only speak in French, "The officer yell at her if you do not speak English why do you come hear" At last they gave her one month visa. She was stopped at airport approximately 4 hours. She never overstay hear , no any criminal record, She came to visit her husband, and that time I was working, she also had a bank statement. Then why they did this. What on earth made them to suspect her ? I really did not understand. Then I extend the visa by applying to immigration Canada they gave 1 Year extension. We have 0 criminal record or any charges "except my family case" until today. The only thing she did is visiting to me frequently. Is it wrong?

Next time some ignoramus yells at her for not speaking English, she should say clearly, slowly, in French that she IS speaking one of Canada`s official languages, and why is he -- an official of Canada – not able to speak both official languages? Then call for his supervisor.

I am not sure why she is getting so much hassle at the border – unless it is because she is visiting so regularly that the border officer suspects she is not just visiting, but perhaps getting ready to stay (illegally).

If you think mentioning that she is visiting her boyfriend might arouse suspicions, then have a different, specific reason to visit the country – a specific event or concert or tour that makes it credible for her to come each time.

You are right I told her the same. Why did not she tell them French is one of Canada's official language. But she is very innocent, She never argue.

Is it a good idea if she say that she is being under sponsor process?

Hi nesan!

It's always best to say the truth. I wouldn't recommend saying she's visiting her boyfriend or coming to do anything else. She will be allowed if she brings enough proof of the sponsorship process and says she's waiting it out with her husband. It shows she's doing things right and not trying to trick them. She should also bring proof that she will go back to France. This way she will be allowed with "Dual intention".

Hope this helps!

just remember, getting hassled at the border does NOT at all mean the sponsorship application is "shaky"... they are, as mentioned, two separate processes... as long as your evidence is conclusive and your relationship genuine, then there's no reason to think that because they are troubling her crossing the border that she will not get PR status... in fact it very well may be the opposite (as long as she's not breaking any rules), coming and going frequently on social visits sets up suspicions of border patrols, but adds value to a sponsorship case...

good luck

Nesan, if your wife's PR application is rejected she will still be able to come to Canada as a visitor visa-free, since she is French. The border officials probably suspect she will not leave Canada when she comes because she is coming to visit her husband, so she should always have proof she is going back to France - such as a return ticket, proof of a job in France, money in a French bank account, etc. She may not ever need to show this, but she should have it just in case she is asked for it.
Most likely her PR application will be accepted, so don't worry about that. Very few are rejected from Western European countries.

And the next time she is hassled by a government official for not speaking English, she should insist on service in French. It is the law that government service be available in both official languages, and the taxpayers pay a lot of money for unnecessary bilingual staff in places where it is not really necessary, so it should be available when we or other people need it!
