Yes, you should, that actually might increase your chances of having the extension approved. Be sure to add proof you are actually going through the PR process, such as the receipt for the PR fees or the sponsor approval letter (if you have that already). You are responsible for keeping your current status legal, so you should apply for any extensions needed.Woffles said:
Awesome, thank you very much. I haven't started the process yet as my Canadian partner and I (from the UK) won't become common law til July earliest (we only subletted in a shared house though) but definitely September as that's when we moved into our own place.CharlieD10 said:
Ensure you include proof of your savings and your partner's salary info. Volunteer service is acceptable, as long as it's not in any position that would ordinarily attract salary or wages.Woffles said:

Your husband cannot visit you at this point if he is only a permanent resident in Canada. If he is now a Canadian citizen, he can stay outside of Canada as long as he wishes but must prove that he will return to Canada and state when he will return in the application for your PR. As stated on Canadian government site, if you are a permanent resident, you MUST stay in Canada during the entire sponsorship process. If you leave Canada during processing, it is very likely (except in emergency maybe) that your application will not be processed or will be rejected.chelseaviel said:Hello everyone!
Just want to ask if my husband could come to visit me for 3 weeks while our sponsorship is under process? He's in canada right now and he's planning to visit me this May or June 2012. He just submitted my spousal application this April 14 and by May or June he's planning to visit me. I hope it's possible
Thanks!
is your husband a permanent resident? if that is the case, PR must stay in Canada throughout the entire processing of application.gagan88 said:
Thanks for this information. Even though this is not my case I think it is helpful information.ashunandal said:Your husband cannot visit you at this point if he is only a permanent resident in Canada.

good luck
I wouldn't say its a problem. But you may have to work a little harder to prove your relationship is genuine. You need to show pictures of the 2 of you together. Ideally at different events at different times in your relationship history. Copies of emails showing you are in constant contact. Photos and any documentation with your engagement and marriage. Any travel documents you shared together. Document your honeymoon and take pictures. Remember photos of both of you together. Phone records showing you talk on the phone frequently. Any other communications together that you can document. Be thorough. Letters confirming your relationship from family may help. Try to involve both families in the engagement or wedding etc. Family communication and involvement makes a different. Plan everything accordingly keeping in mind the usefulness of proof and documentation.cranberries said:hi everyone!
me and my canadian boyfriend are planning to get married on his first visit next month and apply for spouse visa right after our wedding. we haven't been together physically for a year, will it be a problem?I'm just worried
.it was a relief knowing that. I will keep it in mind. One more thing, do we need to hire a consultant to make sure we the right thing?or is it enough that we just ask for advice in here and on the internet in general?
