Belgium citizen inland sponsorship?

[zoya_99]

I applied for inland sponsorship. My husband is a Belgium citizen.

The dilemma we're facing now is. Unfortunately he fell sick here. And so we have to travel to Belgium for about a month as he got medical appointments there.

My question is: if we go and come back In a month, would this be a problem?

And if we get medical request from Canada during that period. Does it make sense to give medical exam in Belgium? Or we should call CIC to give us more time? What's better?

If CIC comes to know later that we went to Belgium and came back during the process, can they refuse our application?

Thanks

Although not advised, but i can understand you have to travel for medical reasons........traveling out of Canada while your inland spousal sponsorship is been processed for a very short period won't cause your application to be rejected......will advice you just keep the trip very very short.

NOTE: if the sponsored person leaves Canada at any point while the while their inland spousal sponsorship application is being processed, there is no guarantee that they will be allowed to re-entry into Canada, especially if they require a visitor visa............If for whatever reason the Principal Applicant is denied re-entry into Canada, their inland spousal sponsorship application may be refused.

So be aware of this risk.......however the risk is minimal in your case since your spouse is a Belgium citizen and if traveling with a Belgian passport does not need a visa to enter Canada.

The Principal Applicant could do the medical exam in any country.......Canada or Belgium, you only need to ensure the medical exam is done by an IRCC Panel Physician.

Thanks so much.

Yes he'll travel with Belgian passport


If CIC comes to know later that we went to Belgium and came back during the process, can they refuse our application?

And getting medical exam in Belgium won't l be a red flag for INLAND application?

Your application will not be refused......but will advice you keep the trip very very short, so before anyone notice you are already back residing in Canada........however, be aware of the risk of re-entry denial which may cause application refusal.

You could do your medical exam in any country......the medical request usually gives you 30 days notice.....and if you are worried about IRCC, why not complete the medical in Canada..

Thanks a lot.

We can't give medical now l as we haven't yet received any request. I'm worried what if we have to stay on Belgium for 1 month and we get medical request in between?

Don't know when you will receive request for medical exam...........below is some text from the request for medical exam

When to complete your Immigration Medical Examination

You are required to undergo the medical examination within 30 days of the date of this letter. Failure to do so may result in the refusal of your immigration application.

Who may complete your Immigration Medical Examination

Your medical examination must be performed by a doctor from the IRCC list of Panel Physicians. The list of Panel Physicians to find a doctor in your area: http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx

How to complete your Immigration Medical Examination

Book an appointment with a Panel Physician in your area as soon as possible. If you are unable to complete your medical examination within the 30 day timeframe provided, it is your responsibility to inform the IRCC office responsible for processing your application as soon as possible.

If you give medical in Belgium then it could be a red flag I believe

The important thing that you have to consider is that your husband has to be able to maintain valid status in Canada. Which means that he cannot ever be refused entry into Canada while the application is still in process. So yes, He can travel abroad, but if he is not re-admitted into Canada after his stay in Belgium then the inland application will be deemed to be abandoned and you will have to re-apply as an outland applicant.

It is not advised to travel outside of Canada because there is a risk of not being able to return, considering that your husband will have to convince the CBSA officer on his return to Canada that he is seeking entry as a temporary resident. It is incumbent on him to convince the CBSA officer at the port of entry that he will honour all of the conditions of his temporary residence status until such time that he is a PR. In your case, it would seem the risk is small that he would be refused entry; but there is always a risk.

Does your husband have an open work permit?

Thanks so much for reply.

No, he has applied for OWP with his PR application & we are stil awaiting.

If he gives medical abroad, will that be a red flag? And CIC will refuse his application?

I can't say with any certainty. Leaving Canada while either application is in process carries the risk that your husband's applications (OWP and PR) will be considered abandoned.

Doing a medical abroad will signify to IRCC that your husband has left Canada, but whether they attach a consequence to this I don't know. Leaving Canada cancels his previously held visitor status. The website clearly states that your husband must maintain legal status in Canada during the process so you are taking a risk. It's up to you to determine whether you would like to take that risk.

Hi there,

I also aplied Inland and I completed the medical exams in my home country as I was vivisiting my family there. Before doing this I called CIC and they told me it's perfectly fine, so no red flags about this at all !

The only thing here is leaving without having the work permit. However , if this is the first time you are both leaving since he arrived in Canada, it should be ok, as long as he's never overstayed or lost status. Also, if there is a good reason like this AND you are traveling together, the risk is minimum.

You have to see what's more imoimportant in this case.
