Hi Guys,

Regarding the employment/ source of support, they are asking for employment letter, notice of assessment, proof of income. My husband has a PR and he is planning to move next week to settle in Canada, He still doesn't have a job there.. is it possible to sponsor me once he reaches Canada ?? or he has to wait until he finds a job ??
Is there any other way he can do to sponsor me immediately ???


Thank you,

Thank you,
You need to be more specific about how did your husband immigrate to Canada, and did you marry him before he became a PR or after he became a PR?

He got his PR on October 2015. But he didn't stay in Canada due to uncontrollable conditions. We got married 4 months back and now he wants to submit the application of sponsoring me once he reaches Canada.
So does he have to wait until he gets a job in Canada to begin with my sponsoring application ??
Or he can start sponsoring me once he reaches Canada??

No, he didn't need to get a job, in order to sponsor you. But he probably needs to demonstrate it that he has means to financially support both of you. That doesn't need to be a huge amount of money, something like 10-20 thousand dollars in his account should be OK.

You don't need to put any supporting documents to show he is not working, on the sponsor form, there is a question that needs to fill sponsor's working history, and also, the sponsor needs to submit his last tax form.

Also depending on your ties to your home country or whether you had a trv you may have difficulty getting a trv to enter Canada so you will have to anticipate at least a year separation from your husband.

Hello,


I would like to discuss and get inputs on my case for Spousal Sponsorship.


My husband got PR and is in Canada since almost a week. He is due to receive his PR card in April, post which we will be applying for Spousal Sponsorship. I stay in India and have been working in an MNC since past 6yrs. While I have been regularly reading a lot of forums, but I am still confused on whether we should go with Inland or Outland process.


Earlier the plan was that we apply for Outland Sponsorship, post which I apply for Visitor Visa and go and stay with him starting July until my PR decision comes through. I have a valid 10yr US visa and have also been to US lately, and will also provide NOC from my company, so I have full hopes that my Visitor Visa would not get rejected. But then I have been reading forms wherein I got to know that owing to the application getting stuck in NDVO, sometimes the PR decision takes 8-10months. In that case, I will then have to come back after the end of my 6month visitor visa limit which I don’t want.

So to address this, another idea that struck us was how about applying for Visitor Visa while on job, going to Canada and then applying for Inland Sponsorship? This way I can also get an Open Work Permit and don’t have to worry about sitting idle at home while PR is in process.

Now I have couple of queries if we go through this route:


  • Is Inland Sponsorship the best way out here?
  • Do I confess to CIC the intention of applying Inland in my Visitor Visa application? Because else they might find it odd that we haven’t yet put our PR in process yet.
  • Does this confession put my Visitor Visa at risk?
  • Is there any other imp point that I am missing here?

Would really appreciate some expert opinions on this!



Thanks!
