Oh you are right. I looked up again. If the spouse is Canadian, then it doesnt matter if the spouse is employed or not. It coounts all the time spent outside Canada towards the PR obligation. However, the time spent living outside Canada with a spouse who is also PR wont count unless the spouse...

Thanks for your response. Could you send me a link that supports your statement? I looked up and what I found was that if the applicants leave to accompany their Canadian spouses who are employed outside the Canada, then the time counts towards the residency requirements. My husband is not...

Not meeting the residency requirement of 2 years.

Thanks for your response. Good to know that we need to convince CIC we will move back to Canada as soon as I obtain the PR. Would it be an issue with him being unemployed in USA when he puts in application? I am the one who has income here and taking care of him financially.

Hi all, Is it posisble for my husband (a Canadian citizen) to sponsor me for Canadian PR while he is living with me in US. I, myself work here in US. We have decided that it was the best option for him joining me here in the states as we are focusing more on my career. But while he is here...

Hi all, It might be a bit off topic. But I really need your input. Im moving to USA from Canada. I got a job there. I wanna bring my car to USA by driving. By any chance, does anyone know the procedure. Your input or guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.
