Hi guys,

I have a question about applying either outland or inland. If my husband applies outland, can he still apply for a work permit while the application is in progress? He has a TRV now.

Thanks

No. No work permit option on an outland application, only inland.

If he has a job offer, can he still apply for work permit? Or the job offer needs to be LIMA?

Needs to have an approved LMIA unless he's American and his job qualifies under NAFTA.

Hey guys, question about Generic Application form. I've searched a couple threads on this and never seem to see consistent answers, but doesn't warrant a thread of it's own.

For the nickname/alias question, does that include alias's on forms such as this? As in, would I have to disclose to CIC on my spousal sponsorship form about my forum name Arctic Circle? And likewise for any of my husband's online monikers? I've seen answers saying yes, disclose all online monikers, and others saying it's only important pertaining to legal documents, alias's for careers etc. The last thing I want to do is unintentionally commit misrepresentation by not putting some of my forum names on there, so figured I'd double check!
No, you don't need to include forum names like this one. They are looking for actual other names a person might have used, i.e. a nickname, a pen name, an informal last name.

Send your documents. Try to include proof that your ex won't communicate with you. There should be no issue.

One more question, if the job offer is LMIA exempted, can he come and visit me, then apply for work permit in Canada, with his outland PR application sponsored by me?

Hi, this was likely asked before by someone so I apologize in advance but can anyone confirm if my fiancee can come to Canada as a tourist while awaiting our sponsorship application to be processed? (application would be made in Canadian embassy in Europe). I'm a Canadian citizen, she's in Europe (EU country with no visa requirement)
I imagine that is allowed, just wondering if it might not jeopardize her application in any way? just trying to minimize the time we spend apart :(

Yes, she can come to Canada as a visitor while waiting for the PR app to process. No effect on the PR app.

Hi there! I'm a recent member of this forum. I found this by researching on what to do for spousal visa application. Right now I'm filling and gathering documents for our application but I have a question regarding the education and work history. Do I have to submit every certification / diploma I received for each information I wrote? Thank you so much!
