Its same thing with me also. ND has my wife's PP from November and still no information at all. People who applied with me have got it and even people who applied after me have got it too. We people are really unfortunate. Dont know what is ND doing with our Passports. Dont they know the importance of relationships at all... It really sucks....

Who says you won't be able to work while on a "conditional PR" (if the law gets passed)?? The last thing any country would want is an immigrant who is by all means a "legal resident" to be sitting on their couch doing nothing.

My sister, now a Citizen of USA, was on a conditional PR status (due to their law) and she was able to work for 2 years until she got the condition removed and became a citizen a year later.

As I always say, if you are in a genuine relationship, this law, whenever it takes effect, shouldn't be a cause of worry.

This conditional PR is not going to effect your job or anything. Even if this law is implemented, u will be a landed immigrant and will have PR from the day u land. It might be revoked if you leave your spouse. But as sighson said, there is a lot of debate going on about this.

@ Ajith

Yes, I agree with you, and that's exactly what I have been telling everyone =)

 

[maha_02]

Thanks everyone.. I am relieved...

I left my job after I got married in July.. So I was scared that I might have to wait for another 2 years without job... No worries now!

Actually there is one BIG worry.. Still In Process

My cousin told me like "maybe it can be a problem, find out"... I guess she doesn't know much about it...

I believe my case is straight forward. My wife does not have any foreign travel history. She is from the same community & religion as mine. She is 2 years younger to me also.

Yes, this is so true. By eomployemnt, the government gets money as taxes. They like that very much...

u got nothing to worry about. canada is the only country with high immigration rates that doesn't have this conditional pr legislation. In fact we have the highest refugee claims of any country and that is being abused at higher percentage rate than marriage scams. Hence refugee claim legislation was the first one to see the new amendments. Did you know the day a person files for refugee their healthcare and some social assistant programs kick in from that day (in some provinces a PR has to wait 3 months to get their healthcare coverage started), lot of people are using this to get "free" healthcare and it takes years for refugee claim to be assessed and evaluated. but the new legislation fixes these hole

Countries like UK and australia had conditional PR for years. when this comes into effect here it won't cripple you in anyway, you will have access to everything including healthcare and ability to work. only thing this legislation will do is give gov't ability to deport abuser and scammers of the PR system. Currently gov't can't do anything about it.

With the current system one of the biggest issues is financial burden on the sponsor, eg is the sponsored person leaves his/her marriage within weeks or months, the sponsor is still liable for them for next 3 years. So if the sponsored person goes on any social assistant of any kind than the sponsor has to reimburse the gov't and to make the sponsor pay, gov't has to seek a legal order which in turns costs money which taxpayers like us have to pay for it. these marriage scams are costing our country billions of dollars every year.

The biggest thing in this legislation is that it won't impact genuine cases. Those couple can carry on living a normal life as if their spouse has “regular” PR. Sadly within our own community there is lot of misinformation and those desi papers aren't helping the cause either.
