Spousal sponsorship

[muffy1]

I'm from the US, as well! Where abouts if you don't mind me asking? May I also ask what province you landed? There are a number of groups that offer services to newcomers. A lot of them offer things such as work training/language courses/financial training, etc but they also offer support groups, as well. If you are on Ontario by chance, I will post a link(s) that has all the information. Otherwise, you can do an internet search within your province or city and get all this information. I can definitely understand how you feel. I think most of us feel like that at some point. I know I was and still do get homesick, myself. But, there's nothing better than being with my Hubby

So, did that person got his SIN or not ?
I am little worried now

Yes he got it eventually. I believe they had to call a week later and they finally got it all sorted out.

As for the newcomers thing, I understand! I am not the immigrant, but I saw my husband go through it and it broke my heart. Maybe look for volunteering or you can even start job searching and working on your resume and you will have a SIN soon and then you can just jump onto the job search bandwagon!

Hey UsCa,

If you go to this link.....then scroll to page 39- there are some groups listed there, by region. I'm sure there will be something that you might find suitable. Have you thought about volunteering or signing up for any recreational activities? Those are also good ways to meet friends. I'm in Ontario, as well! If you're ever in London...let me know

And there is this one, too!

Depending on where you are in Ontario I can understand the boredom. There is quite a lot of adjustment for the one immigrating. Especially if you are used to the climate.

I am the Sponsor for an outland-application.

The Application is with Singapore VO. Because of address changes of my spouse, she is sending a letter to visa officer to update the address.

Meanwhile, my phone number has changed too. Prior notifications has come in e-mails. Should I need to report my phone number change as well?

If she was issued a departure order, then I agree with Scylla - its imperative to depart on time.

However, if all she received was a letter saying she must leave (but NOT a departure order) then I'd suggest you find a good Canadian immigration lawyer and consult with her or him about your options. CBSA will not stay a removal order until AIP is granted (first stage for inland). A departure order demanding that she leave in 30 days becomes a deportation order (and a lifetime ban on returning to Canada) if it is not obeyed. But if there is no departure order, then you may have additional flexibility (though not without risk). An experienced immigration attorney (not a consultant) will be able to better advise you on your best options.

She should ensure that if she did receive a departure order that she check in with CBSA prior to departing Canada. Otherwise, they may treat it as an unacknowledged departure order - which becomes a deportation orders.

A lifetime ban CAN be overcome, but it requires an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) and 6-12 months additional processing time.

Why was the TRP granted in the first place? I wouldn't expect any issues for her PR application if she leaves, though, but if she is inadmissible that inadmissibility needs to be addressed before applying for PR:

Thank you so much for taking the time to look into and replying to my post.

Her employer had completed and sent a LMO while she was waiting for her online work permit extension to be processed. When she got her LMO, she was informed by the immigration consultant she was working with to go to the boarder so that she can get her work permit immediately rather of waiting for the online application .Since she crossed the boarder her implied status was lost, her online application became invalid and the CBSA issued her a TRP. She ended up losing her Job the same day. Here is what the TRP refusal letter states " I nearby notify you that the permit you requested will not be granted. Consequently, you MUST leave Canada immediately. If you do not leave Canada voluntarily,enforcement action may be taken against you." From what you have stated in your response, this seems like a refusal letter rather than a departure order.

We're in Ontario too! My husband is from TN, he was a bit taken aback by all the snow compared to TN and was VERY happy to see our cities just plowing through the snow (Nashville shuts down haha). Now he loves the snow, even tries to get me to go out in it.. NO THANK YOU! It'll take some time to get used to it, but eventually it'll be HOME

That said, Northern Ontario is very... uhh.. boring haha.

If this was in fact a TRP (rather than a TRV) then I think she must leave regardless of whether the letter is a departure order or simple instructions to leave. It's my understanding that expiry dates for TRPs are taken extremely seriously and it's quite problematic if you overstay.

If this was actually a TRV - then that's another story and I agree that a call to a lawyer would be in order.

If it was a TRP - I think it's time to go.

Hi Scylla,

Thank you for replying to my post. It was in fact a TRP. Here is what happened.

When she got her LMO she was informed by the immigration consultant she was working with to go to the boarder so that she can get her work permit immediately rather of waiting for the online application .Since she crossed the boarder her implied status was lost, her online application became invalid and the CBSA issued her a TRP. She ended up losing her Job the same day. Here is what the TRP refusal letter states " I nearby notify you that the permit you requested will not be granted. Consequently, you MUST leave Canada immediately. If you do not leave Canada voluntarily,enforcement action may be taken against you."

Sorry to hear that.

In my opinion she definitely needs to go.

If you want to try having her stay, consult with a good immigration lawyer asap. Don't sit on this.

Hi All,

Currently i have PR and and leaving in CANADA and i was thinking go back to my native country for short period of time around 3-4 months and may be get married there, so if i get married in my native country what are my options get my wife along with me to canada.

1. Can I apply for PR Sponsorship from my native country?
2. Can My wife apply for visitor/Dependent Visa to enter into canada ( I heard from some of my friends that visitor visa was rejected)
3. in case she enters into canada with visitor visa can we apply for PR within canada?

your responses and answers will be appreciated, thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks.

1. No. Since you are a PR, you must be living in Canada to sponsor.
2. Yes. Your wife can certainly try to apply for a visitor visa. Unfortunately there is a good chance it will be refused.
3. Yes.
