    American moving to Canada Spousal sponsor

    Unless he qualifies for a WP under CUMSA he can’t move to Canada as a visitor so he can’t move his belongings to Canada like a PR. They should apply for proof of marriage registration as soon as possible because they will need to wait for it before applying for sponsorship.

    BC PNP: Claim Foreign Cash-Paid Experience or Wait for 2 Years of Canadian Experience?

    There could be some tax implication regarding international income after your arrival in Canada. IRCC has certainly become much more cautious when it comes to cash payments. If you have a high chance of getting a nomination based on your Canadian work experience I would probably wait and apply...

    RE: Spousal Application

    1. Once you have a valid TRV the reason for your visit is assessed at every entry. Yes she can use her existing TRV to try to enter Canada and if she has received AOR then she would qualify to apply for an OWP. If asked I would be honest that the aim for her visit is to reunite with her spouse...

    Spousal Visa Processing

    Was really suggesting that an immigration lawyer may be able to given them a somewhat realistic timeframe although not guaranteed. Many think that processing will be the same as family sponsorship or that they should expect their dependents to receive PR soon after they do which is often not...

    Parents Super Visa Chances - After I become PR and living inside Canada

    Without knowing why you claimed asylum it is tough to answer your questions. If you sought asylum due to issues related to country conditions then chances related to concerns that they may also not return home increases. Is your mother aware you claimed asylum and that is how you secured PR...

    Study permit application refused, I need advice.

    As already pointed out that CBU does not have a good reputation in Canada and until very recently primarily served the relatively small local community. If your goal is to try to get PR in Canada I would suggest is working towards getting licensed as a physiotherapist in Canada. Another option...

    Sponsoring spouse outside Canada

    Although not clearly listed IRCC has seen too many people not actually settle in Canada so in practice now seems to require more concrete proof versus just search results or basic inquiries. Many may be surprised when IRCC follows up asking for more evidence of their move so best to plan in...

    CEC moved to Quebec for study and received a procedural fairness letter

    You were required to update your address and if you had not would have put your PR at risk longterm. Had you not researched immigration programs before applying?

    BC PNP: Claim Foreign Cash-Paid Experience or Wait for 2 Years of Canadian Experience?

    Were you still working for the company after you arrived in Canada? Were you a passive owner or were you working as a co-CEO after changing roles in 2023? Were you paid as an employee as a partial owner or was ant money you made kept in the business? Assume the ownership happened after you...

    PGWP extension pending on maintained status — visitor restoration if refused?

    Yes you should apply to restore your status. Many people don’t but retaining valid status may help you travel to Canada or other countries that share immigration information with Canada in the future. Yes you can take some time to prepare for your departure. Would try to leave within a month...

    January 2026: Inland spousal sponsorship

    Are you sure you are not in background check? That is the longest part of the process.

    outland spousal sponsorship submitted September 25, 2026

    Do you mean received AOR? Would try to look for applicants with a similar profile and from a similar country for the best idea of realistic processing time.

    Inland sponsorship timeline

    It is extremely variable. Would at least look for threads posting about sponsorship from the same country. How much time you have spent together in person can have an impact on processing. For example if this was an arranged marriage and you’ve only met in person on a few occasions and have...

    What is your immigration history in Canada? What applications have you filed? When did you arrive in Canada?

    RE: Spousal Application

    A TRV never guarantees you entry to a country so yes she can travel to Canada in April and she will be assessed at the border. She should also verify with the airline whether she needs a return ticket to fly. She should not lie when she reaches the border if she doesn’t plan to visit her brother.
