waiting 2 exhale said:
what I have read is if a citizen or PR card holder lives overseas and applies for spousal visa, he/she has to provide proof that they intend to go back to Canada..proof in the form of owning a house, job offer etc...I am a PR holder and have been living overseas for the past three months and I don't think it is a problem
Hi ,
This is according to cic from instruction guide 3900. now experts has to say this sponsorship eligibility holds on for only one stage or 2 stages of application. In general if its for only one stage which is sponsorship stage any PR can come stay for 1 month after getting all documents submit gets sponsorship approval and leaves canada.
One doesnt need to work also if he can satisfy cic that he/she is capable of taking care
Sponsorship eligibility
In order to sponsor, you must…
be 18 years of age or older,
be a Canadian citizen, Registered Indian or permanent resident,
be sponsoring a member of the family Class,
live in Canada or provide evidence, if you are a Canadian citizen living outside of Canada, that you will live in Canada once the person you are sponsoring becomes a permanent resident.
sign an agreement with your spouse or common-law partner confirming that each of you understands your obligations and responsibilities,
sign an undertaking promising to provide for your spouse or common-law partner’s basic requirements and, if applicable, those of his or her dependent children,
prove that you have sufficient income to provide basic requirements for your spouse or common-law partner’s dependent children. To do this, you must provide documents showing your financial resources for the past 12 months. This requirement applies only when dependent children who have dependent children of their own are included on the application.
