Hi my fellow Pakistanis,
I know I already have asked few question related to Spousal Sponsorship. I have reviewed the forms and have a few more queries.
I am from Pakistan. I have recently got COPR and planning to soft- land in Canada in September 2017. After that I am getting married (i.e. probably by December).
I have already started working on the case of spousal sponsorship so that once I get a job in Canada I can immediately apply for my spouse visa.
You don't have to do a job to sponsor. My wife sponsored me and wasn't doing any job still i got the visa.
I have reviewed the forms and I have many queries that I am listing below. I will be thankful if experts can answer.
1. I was engaged in 2015. Engagement is not legally documented as we all know. However, my marriage certificate will obviously be prepared once I get married after Canada landing. So, will CIC reject my application stating that since you were engaged before your landing, therefore we reject your app for spousal sponsorship?
Nope why would they reject due to that reason.
2. After my marriage in December 2017, I will be permanently moving to Canada by March 2017 (I am currently working in Qatar) and she will be completing her degree in Pakistan. That means that I will not be living with my wife immediately after marriage. There is a question in the forms as to how many years you have spent together. Will CIC reject it right away stating that why didn’t you live together immediately?
Atleast live with her for a month to make your case stronger. You don't have to live for years. A month will work.
3. Let’s suppose, due to any trivial issue, they reject my first application for spousal sponsorship; in that case I can re-apply or not? How many times can I re-apply considering that app was rejected due to trivial issue (not something very serious e.g. misrepresentation)
Yes u can apply as many times as you want. Misrepresentation will get u banned for 10 years though.
4. I was engaged since 2015. But I don’t have the call log because since then I have changed my cell phone twice. How can I overcome this problem? However, I have evidence of only a few conversations (SMS, facebook, viber etc.). Whats the best bet? Should I give whatever I have?
Send whatever you have. Like engagement photos and messages etc.
5. They want evidence that I am taking care of her expenses. Once I resign from my current job to move to Canada, can I transfer her material amount once I get my End of Service payment and show it as evidence since in Canada I will first have to search job and start earning before I send her any money. Will this be acceptable?
Transfer the money after getting married not before it. They know that parents take care of girls in pakistan before marriage. Why give them a chance to question it. Yes send after getting a job.
6. I have searched a lot about Minimum Income required for Spouse Sponsor, but I couldn’t find any official figure. I have read the forums and got to know that in particular there is no ‘minimum income’ requirement as such but a person has to have well-to do job.Is this correct?
Theres no minimum income thingy for canadian spousal visa. My wife sponsored me without doing any job and still i got the visa. We got affidevit from my father in paw that he will give us space to live and some money until we find a job.
I will be thankful if you can answer this. I am a bit concerned about the queries above.
P.S. Take a lot of photos at your marriage. Specially take photos of signing Nikah Namma and that Quran Rasam above the head of the couple while they sit in the car. Take photos with each an every family member and friends.
