Married a Canadian, but may have issues being sponsored

[Ttcdfolk]

Thank you everyone. A part time job doesnt seem like an option since shes a full time student and already working over 40+ hours a week at her family business. Lets just say, she is a key part of this business and without her, it would fail.

So- ive been doing research as well, and it seems the mother (who is now the mother in law) can sponsor me too correct? If this is the case, please let me know.

thank you for the wealth of feedback to all of you.

Don't say that first part in your application or revenue Canada will be looking for her. Does she have a pallet of money at home like Walter White. But back to your post, she can sponser without a job, just can't be on welfare, and like said it would help to have ome money in the bank.

Your wife can sponsor you without a job and without money in the bank. She will still be approved as a sponsor.

Original Post is under the "General Immigration" Section but unfortunately I cannot post links and I was asked to move my question here...

SO heres the story. Im in my early 30s, Healthy and strong American citizen (born in the US) and live in the DC area. I met this great Canadian-born woman (shes almost 30) almost 4 years ago and has been my gift for many years. We recently got Married in her hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. She was born and raised there. We recently received our proof of Marriage Certificate and couldnt be any happier. Well- Problem is she isnt a potential candidate to sponsor me.... She has no proof of taxed or taxable income since she works in her family business and has always either got paid directly into an account via cash- or its gone straight back into the business. She still lives with a parent and has no place of her own, and probably wont be able to because she simply cannot afford to at this time.

I am still back here in the DC area, bummed out because i just found out all this today that she probably wouldnt be able to sponsor me. So naturally Im bummed out. The CIC Canada site has a huge waiting list just to talk to someone and it took almost 20 days before they responded back to my voicemail so naturally im not too happy period.

She has a bachelors and is currently enrolled in college at a local university in Edmonton. I have a Bachelors degree myself in Information System Security. Her parent cannot sponsor me because she is not blood related so Im lost.

I thought I had one spring of hope because I have a 1st Uncle that lives in Montreal and migrated there in his youth and became citizen almost 20 years ago. Problem is, hes a convicted felon, and he recently filed for bankruptcy.

So to recap:
We are both educated.
She is currently enrolled in university and is a student.
She was born and raised in Edmonton
I am born and raised in the US still living in the DC area
We just got married, have a certificate for proof.

What are our options if she cannot sponsor me due to income?
We were planning to have an official BIG wedding later this year, and Im worried this wont happen because of these issues...I need to work, make money, Ive vested so much money and time in college education and I cant for the life of me find anyone to help except lawyers that seem to promise half-assed work for thousands of dollars, not really guaranteeing anything.

Please help, Her and I could really use guidance
