A bit of background story first:
I came to Canada as a student about 5 years ago, I completed my 3 year program, and switched over to a post-graduate open work permit, which will expire late next year.
About 3 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting a very lovely girl from the Philippines, who later on went to become my girlfriend.
In the summer of 2012, we attempted to get her to come here.. her application was perfect, the only problem was her travel history, she was only out of the country once and for a very short time, and in other words, they turned it down.
After talking to an agent one day, I was told that she could apply for a TRV or a OWP if I have a full time job in my respected field, to accompany her husband, me. So we did just that, we rushed our current plans, and decided to get married. I went to her beloved country and tied the knot.
As now we're looking to apply for her to come here.. I called the immigration call center again, explaining the same situation.. and I'm told that.. only if I was still a student, she could accompany me, when I CLEARLY explained to the previous agent that I was not a student anymore but I was still told she could accompany me.
Did things change? Did they mess up? I'm just torn apart after this last call... they basically told me she'd have to apply by herself.. and the terror that they might turn it down again haunts me like crazy..
I don't know what to do.. I'm going to call them again tomorrow or in a few days and see what they say this time.. but if any of you have any suggestions... please please please let me know..
