Spousal sponsorship

[parker24]

Okay thank you! My only question is, he's living with me at my apartment on a visitor's passport... And he's been using my address for everything. Do we use my address still for everything, even though it's outbound? Thank you!

Once you have your PR Card then travel to the USA is permitted as if you were Canadian.  CBSA and US Border has informed me that all you need is the PR Card and your passport and you may enter.  From what I have been told that a visa is not required.  I inquired because after my wife and I arrive in Canada and get the PR Card we will be travelling to visit friends in the Carolina's.  According to the WESTERN HEMISPHERE INITIATIVE a person just has to provide a legal document accepted by the US Gov.  to travel visa free.  The PR Card is an accepted document to provide evidence to the US Border Service of your Residency in Canada.

Unfortunately that's not correct. Entry to the US is based on your passport/citizenship. Consequently having a PR card does not allow you to travel to the US as if you were a Canadian citizen. If you are from a visa exempt country (e.g. England) - then you can travel to the US without a visa. If you hold a passport from a country where a visa is required to visit the US (e.g. India) - then you need a visa to visit the US. The fact that you have a Canadian PR card makes absolutely no difference.

My husband and I had the same situation. Your huband should use your home address here as his "mailing address". His "home/residence address" should be his address in this States. This will ensure any communication from CIC is mailed to the Canadian address.

What about the conjugal application? my family lives in Canada that´s how i know him, i got the visitor visa for visit my relatives before i met him and i stayed 1 year (before the TRV date expired), while being there i applied for student visa but was not approved, i was told that i could do that but seems like i shouldn´t. my partner is canadian and we have been dating for about 2 years, where he comes back and forth to my country to visit me (3 times already), and since i got refused my TRV the first time to visit him, we met in USA (country wich i have the B1 visa for visitor) where he had to drive an hour and a half to see us everyday, we have a long term relationship intention but since we are both divorced we would like to take it smooth, he had already met my relatives, my parents who lives there, grandma, uncles, friends, cousins and my son the times he were here. but wish i could met his family, son and daughter too, we skype and talk by phone but there´s nothing like having a face to face relationship specially if it´s with my sweety relatives before we make the big step, recently i submitted for my second time again for a TRV for visiting my relatives in Canada and it was not approved again because i have no enough ties it would make me come back here..think i am applying for the wrong visa, it is not my intention to staying in Canada against Canadian immigration law, i am working as a general manager and actually we´re doing pretty well here, but being together is the thing we want the most, in this case appliying as a conjugal partner would work??

Is there anything preventing you from getting married?

[lilana]

No, since we came from failed marriages we want to make things right. Also he has a teenager daugther and a son, that's my priority now! My boyfriend gets along really well with my son so wish i could do the same with his kids, wouldn't be fare to get married and then meet his kids..
Thank you for the quick response!

[magpie]

Thanks,  I stand corrected....   I rechecked by calling the US Embassy and you are correct.  I probably missed the visa exempt part.  I also checked the website and again you are right.  My appologies for the error.

Question among of you how long does it take to access ECAS?

[Sundae18]

Hello Jenifer..

Thank you! A huge help! I'm on ODSP and after getting through the first stage ODSP covers my husband so it'll be nice to get that through quicker (As it's only 66 days vs 10 months)
