Hi.
Am new on this site and wonder if anyone has any info on the following ~
I'm Canadian and I recently got married out of Canada, and would now like to apply for residency for my husband.
I'm currently traveling and not working in Canada.
Is it possible for me to proceed outside of Canada? what are my requirements for immigration?
My husband is Nigerian and is currently a student in Seoul, Korea, his residency will end after 6 months upon completion of the course.
Please advise if anyone has any info.

As a Canadian citizen, you may start sponsorship proceedings from outside Canada but it is then upon you to prove to immigration that you are planning to move to Canada when your husband gets his PR.

Thnx Leon.
I currently have an address in Canada and will have that documentation showing proof of my return, as well as a job offer.
Do I need to show a certain amount of money in my account in Canada? if so, cash, and what about
RRSP's? would that help? Do I need to cash in those RRSP's?

No, you don't need to show money.

During the waiting period of the PR visa, are we able to apply for a visit visa?

You can try but it's likely to be denied because of likelyhood of overstay.

Leon,
Are you familiar with the forms online that are required to be filled out for PR and sponsorship?
We're currently living in Seoul, Korea.
In regards to the medical form ~ will the Canadian Embassy here in Seoul refer my husband to a Doctor before we submit the forms for a medical check? or will someone in Canada refer him?
Also, do we submit the forms upon completion to the Canadian Embassy here in Seoul or do we mail them to Canada?
Thanks.

I am not familiar with those forms, no. When I applied for FSW myself, I got a list of approved doctors from the embassy and went to see one. The doctor took care of mailing the forms. I'm sure there's somebody here who has done this more recently and can give you better info. If nobody else replies, you should ask the embassy about it.
