Hi,
I am living abroad with my Canadian wife and planning to move back to Canada in the new year to apply for inland sponsorship.
I am living abroad with my Canadian wife and planning to move back to Canada in the new year to apply for inland sponsorship.
- Does my wife need to declare at the border she is moving back permanently? I believe she does if she wants to declare the goods she is bringing in? In reality we would only have a couple of large suitcases. If she does need to declare she is moving back permanenty at the border, is it better than if I enter as visitor a few days before her, so the border officer won't know about her plans to move back permanently and won't question me coming along with her/asking for proof of ties to home country to let me in as a visitor?
- Similarly, is it better if I buy return tickets so that the border officer won't get suspicious I am planning to stay quite long and won't ask for proof of ties to home country to let me in as a visitor? Or they don't have access to this info from the airline? Also if I buy one way ticket, any risk the airline would refuse me boarding?
