Wife Immigration

[tahirbaloch]

I have got Canadian Immigration in November 2005. But I am currently living in United Arab Emirates for work. Is it possible to apply for immigration for my wife from here?

After getting Canadain PR, I married with my Egyptian wife in United Arab Emirates in Egyptian Embassy according to the Egyptian law. However,  my case was filed from Pakistan which is my origin country but my wife is an Egyptian. What will be the requirements for such case if I apply immigration for my wife.?

If I go back to Canada and apply for my wife from there, how log will it take for her to get landing documents?

1.  No, only Canadian citizens can sponsor spouses/children while abroad.
2.  YOu file the sponsorship and her application with medicals and criminal records checks to Mississauga.  They send it to the office that services the country where either she has been ADMITTED for 1 year or her country of resident.  If she is resident in the UAE then Mississauga would send it to London, if she is resident in Egypt, then it would go to Cairo.
3.  See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/times-int/05-fc-spouses.html  for processing times.
