Canadian citizen, living in the USA, wanting to sponsor. QUESTIONS!

[cillyx5]

If I'm a Canadian citizen living outside of Canada, I know that I can still apply to sponsor my husband. BUT, here are the questions I have…
1) Do I still include an original option C printout from the Canada Revenue Agency?
2) Do I still include proof of employment/proof of income?
3) How do I show that I meet the minimum income requirement if I'm going to be moving from my job in the USA?
4)What evidence can I submit as proof that I intend to live in Canada once my spouse becomes approved?

Hellllllp me… Please!

Thanks all.

1. You dont need to if you have been working in the US for a few years (we did just in case) it gives details on the document checklist about this.
2/3. There is no minimum income requirement but CIC want to know that you can support yourself and your spouse when you move back and that you are not going to require welfare to support you. We included pay stubs etc to show income.
4. We just received an email asking us for more info on this exact point. If you have a job offer, mortgage, or have secured a place to rent these are good. Alternatively if you have emails or some proof that you have been searching for a place to stay or enquired about possible jobs this would also help. We are getting friends to write letters and sending some emails over the course of the last year talking about moving back. Letters from relatives would also help if they are supporting you to get settled.

Good luck!

1) I didn't see any details about the option C printed from Canada Revenue Agency in the document checklist. I'll review it.
2/3) When you said you included pay stubs and etc to show income, were those paystubs and such from the USA? I'm just not sure that they'll care about how much I was making in the USA, as it'll be totally different in Canada.
4) Sweet, I can totally do all that.

Thanks for the reply.

Good luck to you guys.
