Grant immediate permanent residency to new spouses entering Canada, rather than imposing a two-year conditional status that puts spouses – often women – in a position of extreme vulnerability.

this means people who are loosing points because of this can remove spouse from application and get the scores increased. as wife can come direct as a PR now..

If you do not declare that you are married already to increase your score but then add your spouse later on, won't this be Misrepresenting ?

It would be a misrepresentation. And I guess if you answer that your wife isn't coming with you to Canada but later she comes - it's a misrepresentation again.

No - that's absolutely NOT what this means. If you fail to include your spouse to you will STILL be committing misrepresentation (lying in your application), you will STILL never be able to sponsor your spouse and you may also lose your own PR status. This new rule would change nothing.

Exactly what i was thinking! Reading comprehension is hard i guess.

No. That's not what this means. It will only apply to people who get PR via spousal sponsorship. Which, is not done through EE. this has no impact to EE applications.

 

[SAJ_ee2015]

it will mostly help the newly married couple. I mean those who get married after getting PR and try to sponsor spouse. And there are lot of good other changes in the new policy. But the refugee thing really scares me. I hope they won't slow down the processing of current EE applications. 25000 refugees in 1.5 months is really a big target for CIC.

It's not a misrepresentation. There could be a reason why your spouse can't come with you at the moment. But lying that you are single - definitely misrepresentation.

They just want to eliminate "conditional PR" for family application and grant "full PR" instead. That's it. It says nothing about eligibility, express entry implications, application timeline, etc. so I don't know where you get your ideas.

This makes me really happy !!!! Very thankful that they are counting temporary residence days towards citizenship again. I'm also getting married next year so it will be great to have my husband living with me right away rather than waiting two years. If we had gotten married before my PR application I would lose points and would have never gotten ITA. So happy!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just wait for details. There is no indication that family application timeline is going to be reduced.

Basically reiterating liberals election promises on immigration. Nothing new, but good that they are following up.

that's not really what it means, if you're going to be sponsoring him after you get married, the application process will stay the same. Its just that once approved and he lands, he'd get full PR rather than the conditional one.

Guy's, be careful. It says : new spouses

It means if you got married after you immigrated.
