Yeah of course, I don't see why not. We paid some one one bank account and some on another (Although all the money pretty much came out of our joint savings account anyway!)blueangel371115 said:
B&B Congratulations!! That's certainly commendable to hear about. I think many more would take this route however don't know if everyone knows about the FWP program. If you can provide more details, links, how to, it may give others some options to weigh.BlackandBlue said:Sponsorship application can last a while. What might be easier and faster; is if a non-Canadian finds an employer with an LMO. That will not only bring him/her to Canada faster, but also contribute to the financial part.
That's how it went down with me and my Canadian husband. Although now we will be submitting a sponsorship application; this demonstrated to me and him that I am more than wiling to work, contribute to our living together, suck up through the winter, etc, to be with him.
LMO process lasted a while, but I am here, freezing, working, and loving my hubby.
Love or Money - yup yup.gsize said:
LOL you're right, CIC isn't concerned with who pays for what. It's just a good experience for a couple to both contribute towards their common goal of being together however they work it out.johare12 said:
That was my original plan. I even started looking for jobs in April 2011, months before I planned to move to Calgary with my husband. Then in June 2011, I got in a really bad car accident. That changed perspective for us... so I'm here and still looking for a job over a year later... but I finally got a few calls and an interview.BlackandBlue said:Sponsorship application can last a while.

you have a good soul....speedy recovery to youamikety said:That was my original plan. I even started looking for jobs in April 2011, months before I planned to move to Calgary with my husband.

However, I saved the money for my fees before I moved here. It's always been safely set aside. So hubby might be footing the bill for our bills, but I'm contributing to my own immigration.
Sorry to hear about your accident. Best of Luck with your interviews!!amikety said:That was my original plan.

Get ready to bundle up Amikety. It becomes an ice box out in Calgary over the winter until the warm Chinook passes by.amikety said:Thanks to everyone!
Luckily I was barely hurt - I left the hospital after only a few hours. The doctor told my dad how lucky I was to be alive and my dad just nods and says "She's a tough one."

I was in Canada on a Working Holiday visa and found a really good job (NOC 0) before I met my husband - that also helped a lot. But when my WH visa expired - there was NO way of extending my stay other than getting a Labour Market Opinion - which was not easy for my job... But my employer really tried hard with the Human Resources; and we got it. I had to leave while the LMO was in the process - 2,5 months - but it finally happened. There are a lot of Tim Hortons that already have the LMO even in bigger cities; and I was prepared to work anything to stay with my hubby. But we got a little lucky in the end.
