Hello,
In order to be together faster, my boyfriend and I were planning to get engaged and register marriage in canada. In order to do so, he applied for a tourist/visitor visa, but he got refused. After doing more research, I found that sponsoring a spouse can take up to 2 years for the paper to process, it is such a longtime, we cannot live apart that long period and i cannot go back and forth between canada and vietnam, i might have to lose my job if i keep doing so. We want to settle down as quickly as possible.
So, I have several questions to ask:
1. Can you please advise what is the fastest and easiest way for my boyfriend to come to canada?
2. If i have to sponsor him, do we have to have a marriage ceremony in vietnam? can we just register marriage in vietnam and have a marriage ceremony later once he is in canada?
3. While I sponsor him, can he apply for a visitor visa to come to canada?
thank you for your help.
