Spousal sponsorship

[frege]

According to http://www.saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/driver_licence/exchange/ you are allowed to drive in Quebec for up to 12 months before you have to exchange your license. If you were in Ontario, it would only be 2 months.

This is not right. You can drive on a foreign licence for 6 months after settling in Quebec. 12 months is the length of time you have to exchange your foreign one for a Quebec one. Between 6 and 12 months, you can't drive, but you can still do the exchange.

With a Lebanese licence, you have to take a driving test, but you're exempt from the mandatory driving lessons a first-time driver would have to take.

The six-month rule applies as soon as you become a resident of Quebec. If you're just visiting, you can drive with a foreign licence and IDP indefinitely.

OK, so you are "husband shopping" and you want to know if you can import one instead of obtaining a local one. The answer is yes, in 2016...

If you are not going to marry someone with status in Canada already, you have three choices:

(1) Wait until you are no longer covered by the five year bar;
(2) File an H&C application, asking that you be permitted to sponsor someone despite this fact.
(3) The new spouse/partner can immigrate in a different category. In that case he/she will be able to get "points" for having family in Canada (you) but must qualify for such immigration using the normal path.

At present H&C applications take about 3 years, so (2) and (1) probably take the same amount of time.

There is no specific financial requirement for sponsoring a spouse/partner. What you must be able to do is convince CIC that you will not require social assistance. The skills and assets of both the sponsor and applicant are considered in that process.

A six year age difference is not that much, but it is up to the visa officer to determine if this raises a question about the legitimacy of the marriage. That will very much depend upon the other aspects of your relationship.

I sponsored my husband who landed recently, for the last year I was living abroad and was with him when we did the landing. Once we were there he changed and I have noticed he doesnt want to live with me .I had an emergency family visit and had to leave for 2 weeks he told me dont come back. I called him saying I am coming back he said dont come as I will not live with you.

My question is as per the new law which is :

The new regulations apply to spouses or partners in a relationship of two years or less and who have no children in common with their sponsor at the time they submit their sponsorship application. The spouse or partner must live in a legitimate relationship with their sponsor for two years from the day on which they receive their permanent resident status in Canada. The status of the sponsored spouse or partner may be revoked if they do not remain in the relationship.

The conditional measure is now in force, which means that it applies to permanent residents in relationships of two years or less, with no children in common, whose applications are received on or after October 25, 2012.

1- Will that still applies on him as application was submitted in July 2011 and landing in June 2013.

Thanks

I'm sorry for the situation you find yourself in. Unfortunately, the new law only applies to applications that were received on or after 25th October, 2012 so it doesn't apply to your July 2011 application.

Unfortunately, the new rule is prospective in nature and not retroactive.Hence, the same is not applicable to you. The raison d'être is to avoid marriage fraud, May God bless you.

I don't think it's documented anywhere else except in the internal CIC systems and on the notes.
