hello everyone.. i am a foreign skilled worker here in Canada and i am planning to go home to my country to marry my fiance.

these are my questions:

1. do i have to notify the Canadian immigration about our marriage?

2. if we get married, how long does it take if my husband applies for a TRV?

3. will he qualify for the open work permit?

thank you very much!!! ;) ;) ;)

1. No, but you will have to show proof of it, when he applies for TRV and OWP.
2. It depend on the office, there is no guarantee that he will get it and as you are just newly married, it is a long shot.
3. It depends on your job (if he gets a TRV) it has to be in NOC level A, B or O before he is eligible.
