Just got married - FSW

[renatumb]

Hi everyone!!

Please help me with 2 questions:

1 - Which way is better to immigrate?

• a#. Start to study in a college then after graduate apply under CEC or FSW?
• b#. Apply directly under FSW? ( On the self-test I scored around 68 points)

2 - Lets suppose I got married one month ago, If I applied under FSW with my wife as dependent, was there some risk for her/our visa be refused ??

ps.: My girlfriend and me are intending to get married to apply under FSW, but I am undecided if this is the best way to get permanent resident visa...

Hi!

First of all, FSW program will cease to exist after 01.01.2015 so you cannot apply under it after graduation. CEC's future is also foggy at the moment. There's the Express Entry program starting on 01.01.2015, look for more details at the CIC official site: cic.gc.ca

Anyway, if you already qualify to immigrate under some program than there's no need to study if your goal is actually to immigrate.

Concerning your marriage, either all you family members included in the application as accompanying dependents get their visas at the same time, or none of you get them. Your girlfriend/wife cannot be rejected while you are approved. The only risk that I see in your situation is that you will have to provide sufficient evidence of long-lasting relationship as they require at least 1 year of cohabitation before you apply. Such evidence may include join bank accounts, commonly paid bills, life insurance, residential property lease agreements and contracts, etc. Or just get united in a holy matrimony and provide your marriage certificate, I've heard they often accept them with no respect to how many months your family lasted.
