Hello all,
I am a Canadian Citizen, born in Canada. My common-law spouse is a Temporary Foreign Worker, he has applied for permanent residence under Alberta Provincial Nominee Program. The application has been received and we are still awaiting (hopefully) approval. We are trying to figure out the process for bringing his 16 year old daughter to Canada from Mexico. I understand that we need a permission letter from her mother, which we already have. His adult son came to visit us last year and I wrote a letter of invitation and we purchased a return plane ticket to show that he intended to return to Mexico. Do I need to do this for the daughter? She is a dependent of my spouse so do we need to prove that she will not stay? I mean, do I need to purchase a return ticket? She is on the Permanent Resident application. Is she allowed to stay in Canada as long as my spouse is here? Does she apply for a study visa or visitor visa or what? I know this is a lot of questions and I have tried calling CIC to get this information but I have received confusing/conflicting information. Any advice you have is most welcome.
Thanks,
-Amanda
