Living with Spouse : proof of settling in Canada

[Believe_Miracles]

Hey guys im starting this topic for those people who have sponsored spouses and currently living with them or have undergone the process while living with their spouse....

I am living with my husband past 2 years....iv outlined all my ideas for re-establishing myself as well as a time and date by which i wish ot head back. I also explained that it would be hard to leave my husband in the initial years of our marriage and wish to remain here as long as possible but will return early before he arrives....

I gave letters of application to universities, emails and applications for various masters programs and copies of the payment etc.

Any one has any experience with this matter? Any help would be great...

I think the proof you submitted sounds great and should suffice

It's my understanding that if they are getting closer to reaching a decision on your husband, they might ask you for further proof of intent to resettle IF they feel they need it.

Good luck!

That really sounds like a nice amount of proof!

Me and my husband are still waiting for my PR and he's been living with me here in my country for over 5 years. With the application we submitted a short explanation about his plans, a rental agreement to rent my husband's mom's basement and letters from both of his parents telling that they will support us and that they know we are coming. Those letters were not originals though as we only thought about it right before applying. We passed through the SA stage, but I do have a bit of concerns that they will ask now for more proof as I've seen a lot of people have been asked to do with even better proof than us! It's just a bit hard to start realisticly look for a job etc when you don't even know when you're coming back since it's all in the hands of when CIC will make their decision... He surely doesn't want to return to Canada without me either.

We just submitted our application so don't know yet if our proofs of intent to return were sufficient. We only included three documents, but thought they were enough to make the argument. We included the title for a home in BC we jointly purchased, my sponsor's formal letter to her employer in the US of intent to retire at the end of the year, and the receipt for her application for professional licensure in BC. (She is in a medical field and intends to continue her consulting practice from BC). Letters from family and friends attesting to the authenticity of our relationship also mentioned our plans to relocate to BC once my PR application is approved. Hope it's enough

Yes I agree. It seems rather hard to give proof of settling when the intent is to return to Canada but preferably with our spouses. I was thinking of going back before the winter anyways so i thought id take arental place out with my parents so they could tc the place for the time being and then id return. I would love to look for a job and etc but that would be easier if they werent taking 30 months to process. It can be so fustrating they want genuinity nothings more genuin then staying with your husband or wife and yet proof of returning as well. And expecting it to be easy to be away from a new marraige in the first 2 yrs (ie 30 months for Singapore processing)....

@Yaak: I think u have sufficient proof...a property together in both your names that really shows ties and def plans to settle in Canada!! I dont see any problem in your case. .

If my husband isnt even a PR though I cant purcahse a house or apartment or rental with him can I so it would be most likely just me taking something out in my name. I had told them I want to return to Canada in the fall....maybe take a rental place for a year and stuff. With a 30 month processing time frame its just so hard to think of leaving my husband and going back...
