Hi All..
I am an Indian male and married to a Canadian citizen since April 2011. We have a 14 months old baby. We were engaged back in 2009 and had a courtship period of approx 2 years.
After the marriage my wife went back and found that the recession was still looming large on Canadian jobs sector. Earlier she used to work with Bell mobility but at that time they were not hiring. She tried at some other firms too but to no use...! So we decided that she should return so that we move ahead with our lives in India. One important thing I should mention here is that my wife lived for approx 2 years in India at her parents place before marriage and visited Canada once in that duration.
I am a Civil Engineer by profession and have been working on international and domestic heavy construction projects like Metro rail construction and Bridges etc. So I was more than willing to postpone the idea of migrating to Canada and to move ahead with our married life.
Now that we are parents of this beautiful baby, and I think I am ready to make my move to Canada, two questions have been constantly troubling me, whose answers I haven't got from any of the forums elsewhere in internet.
Q.1- My wife has been living with me since Aug 2011 and has not gone to Canada ever since. Is she still eligible to qualify as a sponsor?. If not then what has to be done in order to make her eligible, provided that she does not have a job or any kind of investments in Canada. The only thing that I am aware about is her OSAP loan which she took while she was studying there.
Q.2- Our baby was born in Chennai, India. I understand that by virtue of birth, he is automatically an Indian citizen and I even have Indian passport issued for him. Is he a Canadian citizen as well? If not, can he become one easily? Provided that his mother (my wife) is a Canadian citizen..
I would be obliged if somebody can answer my queries..!
Thanks in advance..
Amrit
