Spousal sponsorship

[LAKEWOOD]

IF someone could help me with my situation that would be great.
I got my permanent residency last December of 2013. Me and my partner became a common law partner last March 4, 2014 (that is one year of living together since March of 2013. we have lots of evidences, insurance beneficiaries and joint accounts)

Now i am applying him in spousal sponsorship under common law.

Question : am i qualified to apply him in spousal sponsorship under common law? I didn't declare him during the processing of my application as permanent resident, because during that time we don't have one year yet of living together as a common law partner when i became a permanent resident?


Thanks

Hello Leon, I am residing now since 2010, got married to my Canadian wife 2013, submitted my PR application Aug 2013 as we were residing outland as the time, now we are back in Canada so I am scheduled for an Interview in Trinidad next month. My application is very straight forward, or so I think, anyhow I am a pessimist. Anyhow, my question is, what would happen if my PR application is denied. Does that mean I would not be allowed to re-enter Canada?

Yes you are okay! You weren't common law in December when you landed since your year of living together didn't finish until March 2014.

Yes - you can certainly apply for PR provided the two of you have lived together for a minimum of one full year. Working holiday visas cannot be extended. This means they don't benefit from implied status and you can't keep working just because you've submitted a sponsorship application. If you want to keep working after the expiry of your work permit, your employer will need to obtain an approved LMIA and then you'll need to obtain a closed work permit.

One more question; Where to send the open work permit application? is it thru

1.) Mississauga, Ontario together with the spousal application or

2.)Open work permit in Vegreville and spousal in Mississauga.(separate sending)

Thanks.

How long will the process take for PR under sponsorship?I doubt my employer will sponsor me under LMA

Are you applying inland? OWP is only for inland. You send it to Mississauga with the PR sponsorship. They will then send it along to Vegreville where it needs to go.

I would like to ask 3 questions on behalf of my friend and would appreciate fast answers :

1) Is there any obligation for me to remain in the country i applied through until my case is completed for canadian immigration?
2) If I travel to another country for the span of 5-6 months, will it affect my case in any way?
3) As my current visa is a "student visa", once I return to the country i applied through the company will be assigning me a professional pass, which I am planning to stay on until my immigration work is completed for Canada. But is it that compulsory or can i also visit back on visitors pass for my immigration purpose if they tend to call me in sooner than i intend to return?

Thank you!!!

1. You can travel and go elsewhere. Usually correspondence go through email anyway, however, make sure there is someone there to get mail, just in case.
2. It shouldn't. However, I do know if you're in any country for 6 months or more, they require a police check for, so I don't know if they would want one from a country you were in for that span of time occurring after the application was sent.
3. I'm not sure what you're talking about here. You're allowed to visit places though.

You send the OWP and pr sponsorship to the same Mississauga address. Once they check all the papers for completion they will send the OWP to Vegreville.
