hello all,
If you are reading this, thank you for taking the time. If you reply to the thread, even more thanks for helping me out! Here’s my question/story:
I am a Canadian citizen who married a South Korean man last year in August, and applied for inland spousal sponsorship in Nov 2018. We did hire a lawyer in Canada to help us, but me being the worrisome/paranoid person I am, I’m still feeling uneasy because of our situation and would like more input. Anything that would ease my mind.
So, we currently live together in Canada and we have booked a flight to South Korea for two weeks in April so we can visit and see my husbands family and we will also be having our Korean wedding there (we are already married but having another ceremony). My mother in law has already planned it out and booked the venue so I really don’t want to post-pone it :|
Anyway, we sent the application in Nov 2018, received notice they got our application in early Feb (and then to get a medical exam) and now we are waiting for the OWP.
We plan to fly mid-April, and I’m like freaking out that the OWP won’t come in time
it’s already mid March now...
I asked my lawyer what to do, and she told me that she will provide an official letter written by her and that we can use an eTA if we don’t get the OWP.
Now, I’m wondering is this enough? I’m thinking to bring with me the receipt of the CIC fee, a copy of the email we got from CIC stating they got our application and other proof we live together.
My other question is, if we don’t get the OWP in time and the border officer asks if he’s going to stay in Canada to visit or for work, what do I say? I don’t want him to get in trouble...will they issue him visitor entry only and then he can’t work after coming back?? Or will the lawyers letter /documents be enough?
Thanks guys!!
