Spousal sponsorship

[CharlieD10]

What if you start the sponsorship as "employed" and after that you quit ?

How long you have to be employed before your sponsorship to be approved ?

When you send in the file or when they start working on it ?

I know it's not a requirement the income, or a job, but i want to change the province and i will have to quit my job and i dont know how fast i ll find another one and so on so i'd prefer to clarify this matter.

Also, a second question, if anyone knows, please, can you go back to your country for 1 week let's say, during the sponsorship process ?

And when that would be a good moment ?

Probably after you are approved as sponsor, am I right ?

So basically after i am approved as sponsor I can be unemployed and this won't affect the process ?

Thank you very much and good luck all.

1) Then you should be very careful that you do not find yourselves on the receiving end of a Section A39 refusal.  If your spouse does not have employable skills or work outside the home or English/French language skills, and you do not have considerable savings to live off until you find another position, be very careful about being unemployed while sponsoring.

2) Sponsoring a spouse does not require a specific employment history.

3) If you move during the process, and do not have a new position to go to, it can negatively impact the sponsorship.  See 1) above for reason.  If you have savings to live on, ensure you have a specific plan for this move to show how you intend to support yourself and your spouse.

4) Yes you may visit with your spouse for a week or so.  Do not make plans for extended stays (more than a month) if you are a PR.  You must be found to be residing in Canada during the sponsorship process as a PR.  A good time is after you have been approved as a sponsor.

5) You can be unemployed, but it cannot be a long-term state.
