Hi everyone,
I'm not yet married, but will be getting married soon. I'm looking for advice on the most efficient and effective way to apply for PR for my fiancée.
My fiancée is currently on a visitor’s visa studying English and will be returning to Korea in November. I’m a Korean-Canadian, born and raised in Toronto. I will be visiting her in December for a month, but we’d like to officially get married in March 2016 in Korea.
I’m looking for advice on if it’d be best to (1) have a civil marriage ceremony in Canada before my fiancée leaves in November and begin the PR sponsorship application NOW; or if we should (2) wait until we receive all of our documentation after our wedding ceremony in Korea in March 2016 and begin the PR application process later (understanding we'd have to wait approx. an extra 6 months).
Essentially, I’d like for her to return with me to Canada in March 2016. I’d prefer to sponsor my spouse from outside Canada, yet I’d like for my wife to be with me while we’re applying for PR. However, are there any potential issues with her returning in March?
In Canada, my fiancee would like to go back to school next year, first for English and then to a college program. There is financial incentive to apply for PR sooner as international student tuition fees are insane. However, for her return in March, should my fiancee apply for a student visa or a visitor visa?
Are there also any potential issues when returning with the dual intent of her coming back to Canada (if she intends to either visit/study and apply for PR)?
Considering we're not yet spouses and our intentions for my fiancee to go back to school, what are your thoughts?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
