Hi
Dears,
I am from Egypt and my wife is canadian and we want to start the process of the family sponsorship but the problem is that they told us here in Egypt that we cant start the process from here and that she must go to Canada by herself to start the process from there then i can go to her to finish the process in Canada and this will take about 6 month or something.
So my questions are :
1. Is this really true or not?
2. Is there any other way that i can go with her and start the process from there (e.g. like a visitor or something) ?
Kindly advice as this is so urgent.
Thanks in advance.
If you wife is a Canadian citizen, she can sponsor you while residing a broad. If she is a Permanent Resident, then she can only sponsor while residing in Canada. It is unlikely that you would receive a TRV so she could sponsor you in Canada. Start your reading at
