In another thread you said that you are close to not meeting the residency requirement. If that's the case, you need to remain in Canada and not travel. If you try to sponsor your spouse and don't meet the residency requirement, the application will be refused and CIC will trigger an investigation of your own PR status which will quite possibly lead to your PR status being revoked.
Oh okay i just wanted to go visit my husband its been so long i thought of applying visit visa for him but thats rarely accepted thats why i wanted to go myself i think then i should give a visit visa a try
You applying visitor Visa for him is more safer than you visiting him with your current situation.
If he can show strong ties back home and proves that he will go once he sees you, there shouldn't be much problem.
Plus worst come worst his visitor will not be approved, but visiting him can affect both your lives.
Thank you for ur advice yes am gonna apply month after i get the uci number from the spousal application but what if only one month is less from my two year requirements n i come back before the pr expires n then i dont renew it n wait one or two years extra
Personally, if I was in your shoes I wouldn't risk it. Especially, if you both are planning to settle in Canada. I know it's tough to stay far from your loved one...
It doesn't matter what the expiry date of your PR card is. If at the time of entry to Canada you're in violation of the Residency Obligation, you can be reported regardless if your PR card is still valid. This will not only cancel your husband's PR app, but also start process to revoke your own PR status.
So only travel if you will be in compliance with the RO the entire time. The closer you get to violating the 2 in 5 year residency rule, the more risk you are taking.
One day, one month or one year less, it doesn't matter. Regardless of the validity of your PR card, if you don't meet the RO, you can be reported on re-entry and lose your PR status.
No - this won't work in your case since you have applied to sponsor your spouse. Since you have applied to sponsor your spouse, CIC will check that you meet RO. If you don't the sponsorship application will be refused and CIC will most likely move to revoke your PR status. So since you've applied to sponsor your spouse, you MUST make sure that you meet RO. You cannot be short a few days or a few weeks.
