HUSBAND AND WIFE DESPERATE TO REUNITE!!!

[mrsduran]

My husband just got his permanent resident status in Canada last December 2010; he was my boyfriend back then, and we were apart for about 7 months until he came back home and married me last September 2011. He went back to Canada after the wedding, and we started on my permanent resident visa application, which we were able to pass last February 29,2012.We've been apart for so long, and since there appears to have been no progress on the status of our application in the website, we realized it would take more than a year for me to be able to go to Canada, if it will be approved. So we decided to apply for a tourist visa so we can at least spend some time together this year.The problem is, I just graduated with a Nursing course, and I'm unemployed as of the moment so I don't have a strong proof that I will come back to the Philippines. My proof of funds are just remittances from my husband and my mom, and my atm account is almost always empty. My husband is shouldering all my expenses if I were to gain entry to Canada. Do you have any advice for me? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

you will be denied. Sorry gotta be blunt but thats a fact. They will tell you - you have strong family ties in Canada and you will not return back to your home country.

Yes unfortunately you will most likely be denied. Due to the fact that you have no real reason to go back home especially if you have applied for sponsorship.

The only thing really is either wait for the visa to be given or your husband visits with you.

Hi everyone,

Don't be discouraged by negative remarks by other people. I was also of the view that its almost impossible to get the visit visa during the spouse sponsor case, but my wife got the visa. Please read what I have done in another topic "TRV for Spouse" in this forum www dot canadavisa dot com/ canada-immigration-discussion-board/trv-for-spouse-t86998 dot 0 dot html (eliminate spaces and replace dot with .).

I have tried to explain all the possible causes of rejection and how to overcome those. Simply saying that we want to reunite is not a valid purpose of the visit. Try to make it more logical e.g. want to celebrate our anniversary together or my husband is arranging a reception for all his friends there and I need to be there for this reception and so on things like these. Similarly explain in details why he / she would leave Canada. To every thing you are saying either in purpose of visit or explaining the facts why he / she would leave Canada attach supporting documents e.g. approved leaves, pay stubs, letter from employer specifying your joining date after the expiry of leaves, if he / she is studen then attach all possible proofs e.g. admission fees, student card, previous semester results, upcoming exam which he / she would attend after returning to home land.

Wish you good luck.

OK....here's an "out of the box" suggestion to try on.....nurses are in demand in Canada.  Can your husband get a job offer for you and you can come on a temporary work permit.  You would still have to prove you will return to your home country when your work permit expires, but you would have to do that for a TRV, too.  You would have to write your nursing exams before working as a nurse in Canada, but you could work in a lower category, study and write the exams once you got here.  Don't know if it would work or not, but it might help your case to get a job at home NOW then apply.  If you are a new grad it is important to start putting your skills into practise.  Good Luck!
