Great post thanks.

Would anyone be able to answer these two questions for me thanks

1) Do you have to be already married in order to start your sponsorship process?

2) Do you have to have made ( min 22-28,000) last 12 months in order to start your sponsorship for your spouse?
I have only been part time/ full time of minimum wage over the course of the last year, with months of unemployment. I know I have not made enough in the last 12 months If they base the sponsorship off that previous income.

You have to be in a qualifying relationship. In general that means you've either lived together for at least 12 months OR you are married (no minimum time for marriage). There's a third category ("conjugal") but I don't think it applies in your case.

2) Do you have to have made ( min 22-28,000) last 12 months in order to start your sponsorship for your spouse?

No, there is no minimum for spousal sponsorship. You just have to be able to show you aren't on social assistance and convince CIC that you won't need social assistance.

Hi everyone, my husband has recieved from his outland VO an information saying that they will send him instructions concerning new medicals and new police certificate. He applied more than 1 year ago, so those documents have expired. Is it safe to assume, that they are done with the process and they only need those documents renewed? PR should be near?

Generally yes, that is what this means.

You are very likely to be allowed to re-enter Canada as you have a multiple entry visitor visa and an in-process inland application. A BSO COULD refuse you, but they'd need some sort of solid reason to do it. It is unlikely you will have a problem.

thanks so much for the reply, i am quite relieved. i was scared because i read posts about if you cannot re enter, the application will be bandoned

That is the problem, but realize that it's not an immediate abandonment. The issue seems to be that you have to appear for the final landing interview in Canada and if you don't do so they determine your application has been abandoned. The border manuals say they shouldn't refuse an inland applicant from returning without good cause (e.g., criminal activity, etc.) but a CBSA officer DOES have the discretion to do so. You, of course, have the right to challenge such a refusal and I haven't read any court decisions like this at all (it doesn't mean they don't exist, of course, just that they must be rare.)

I've asked this question in another thread (the Sydney applicants one) but hopefully someone here can help me too.

My husband has gone for his medical, but it turns out he had high blood pressure. He has to return in three days to get the blood pressure tested again, but is there any chance if the reading is the same that we'll be denied on that basis?

Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone,

I have a question (but of course); after my Working Holiday visa expired, I applied for a change of status from worker to visitor (in July) to Vergaville, and was stupid enough to state I have a fiancee here in Canada. They responded today, refusing my application and saying I have to leave Canada immediately (WH visa expired in May). In the meantime, Him and I got married.

Do I now contact Vergaville, saying I am now married to a Canadian citizen (born and raised here) and submit the sponsorship application where it needs to go, and most importantly, can I stay here if I do so? Thank you SO much for any information...

I've been falling into this Canadian immigration black hole for a long time now... My employer also has an LMO submitted, waiting to be processed, and I have his job offer... I'm not giving up on my job, my Love, my life

thank you.

Nope. Zero chance. There are three categories for refusal on medical grounds: public health, public safety and excessive demand. High BP is not grounds for either of the first two and spouses are exempt from the excessive demand issue. So the DMP will do his or her job, but as an excessive demand exempt applicant the worst he could get would be an M39 coding.

So relax - don't worry about this issue.

You need to either get your spousal application submitted ASAP, including an open work permit application, OR you need to leave Canada. What you do not want to do is allow your departure order to become a deportation order, which is what happens after 30 days. A deportation order becomes a lifetime ban on entry to Canada and that will make things much more complicated for you (because it means they can force your removal, charge you for the costs of doing that and require you apply for an ARC to come back).

I'm not convinced that an inland spousal application will fix this issue for you, perhaps someone else with more experience in this case can provide greater clarity here. However, I would suggest that the safest thing for you to do right now is to leave Canada. You can then proceed with an outland application. If your employer obtains a positive LMO then you can apply for a new work permit; if you obeyed the departure order, you've demonstrated that you do comply with the law and thus would be more likely to receive a new temporary status document.

Good luck!

Thank you so much. We're worried because they've gone to the point of making us wait another three days before coming back and doing it again, so I was so worried that it was super important that he pass that part of the physical.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment! I am not sure if it will fix the problem either... I'm going to see some immigration officers tomorrow, but they've been wrong before (they're the geniuses that suggested I write I have a fiancee on my visitor application) so I don't trust them.

I know the safest thing to do would be to leave... but I am soooo close... you know what I mean? LMO, sponsorship, even the AINP if the LMO's a go... If I cross that border, everything will go through different offices, rules, routes... it will take so much time... I want to try anything before I go
