Hi everyone.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post. Here is the situation. I got my PR, did my soft landing in September 2018 and return in couple of weeks. I want to know what are the options to move with my spouse in following situations. I do not have a Canadian Job yet but i do have a job in my home country. What i know is that i need to work in Canada atleast a year to sponsor my spouse. not sure if that's true.

1. If i move permanently to Canada in next few months and then get married in less than a year.
2. If i move permanently to Canada in next few months, work for a year atleast and then get married.
3. If i get married after a year or so and then move with spouse.

would appreciate if someone can please share the relevant info.

To my understanding, there is no financial requirement for sponsoring spouses.

You ave to show that you will be able to support yourself without government help. Unless your spouse can get a TRV the sponsorship process will take a yer any must be in Canada to sponsor your spouse as a PR.

@shalenabennie @canuck78 thanks for replying. so this means that spouse need to get TRV if we are to stay together in Canada as sponsorship will take a year to approve. Seems like TRV is the only way isn't it? as i am not sure if spouse can leave with me in Canada until the sponsorhip application is in process.

Yes your spouse needs to get a TRV. It is often hard to get because you have to prove that you have strong ties to your home country and don't plan on remaining in Canada to get approved. Longterm employment, property, family members that depend on you, etc. would increase the chance of approval.
