Hi
My darling partner and I have just read on the CIC website that as of 2005 a law was introduced into canada namely
Sponsorship of Spouses and Common Law Partners Within Canada: New Policy Announced
On February 18, 2005, the Minister announced a new policy intended to facilitate the processing of spouses and common-law partners of Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada, who do not have legal immigration status in Canada.
In accordance with this change in policy, regardless of your immigration status in Canada, you may use the application package Applying for Permanent Residence from Within Canada: Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada Class if:
You are in a bona fide marriage or common-law relationship with a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
You live with your spouse or common-law partner in Canada
Your spouse or common-law partner wants to sponsor you (and your dependent children) for permanent residence in Canada
?!?!?!
Does this mean that technicaly speaking i can marry my beautiful dream in canada and then apply for permanent residency via spousal sponshorship while i AM STILL IN CANADA ?????
This really has come as quite a shocjk and sounds far too good to be true !!
Wheres the catch PMM ??!?!?!
Do we need proof of extra savings to be able to do this? surely there is some kind of financial catch or something this just sounds too good!!!
Thanks in anticipation for your response
