All
I am a Canadian citizen and my Girl-Friend is a Indian citizen. I lived in India for a while where I met her and now for past 1 year I am working in Canada in a software firm while she is working in India. This long distance relationship so painful etc and I am planning to bring her legally and also planning to settle down ( Finally !!). Our families are planning for the big wedding next year in April 2012 and we can "live together" (traditionally, culturally)after this. Now the question I want to bring her with me after this marriage cermony. I thought there are few ways to do this
I will opt for Out-land application and
1) Go to India and do a register marriage (simple one), start the application process in Dec or
2) Bring her in a tempoaray or tourist Visa to Canada, get married (simple one) and start the application process or
3 Let the cermony finish, sponsor her and wait wait wait...
Can someone tell me which is good way to approach ? My main objective is to bring her to Canada coming May.
I heard from my friends that spouse sponsor is the fastest and it takes 2-3 months in total if paper works are submitted properly. But I have also seen that it takes 68 days then 6 months in 2 steps for the whole process to complete on Gov websites. If this is the case I would not try number as I have wait till next year until my Girl get here. Please advices...... wish they bring a rule to speed this spouse sponsor
