Hi all, hoping you can help.
I have a pretty simple question, but trying to google it myself has been fruitless. He's been cleared/drawn for the Express Entry PR application. When it says "is your spouse accompanying you to Canada" do I say yes or no?
I am a Canadian citizen, he is here on a Work Permit. We moved to Canada for his work over a year ago. I did sort of "accompany" him to Canada at the time (he came up here first, I joined him a few months later after wrapping our affairs in the US) but I returned to Canada by right of being a citizen. Over a year ago.
Since I am already "here" at the time that he's applying for EE PR, do we say no, I am not "accompanying" him? It's trying to charge us immigration fees and paperwork for me as if I am also foreign applying for PR, but ... I'm Canadian. I'm already living here?? Why would I need to fill out a PR application?? So confused.
Thanks!
