Hi all,
I'm in a LDR with a girl from Hong Kong, but I'm now sure she's the one, so of course I wanna live with her, which means bringing her to Canada.
The situation is the following:
- I am currently a PR, expecting to become citizen within the next year (I already applied).
- She's 34, too old to apply for IEC (working holiday).
- She doesn't have any useful degree to apply for a work visa from home.
- We cannot live together for a year and become common law because I'm not willing to drop my job and move to her country (to do what? and how?). For the same reason she cannot come here as a visitor with no income.
- If I understand correctly, Conjugal Sponsorship is not an option, because "technically" nothing prevent us from moving together, other than our will to not lose our jobs without a valid backup alternative.
Three questions:
1) Did I understand correctly about the Conjugal?
2) Is marriage the only option here or there's something else I can look into?
3) Once we marry, how long before she can move here and be able to work?
Thank you for your help!
