Canadian Spouse - applying from outside canada

[lhrperson]

Hi All,

Thank you for bringing this useful information to the community.

I am a Pakistani national living in Pakistan (Lahore). well, I have known a girl for the last 3 or 4 years and we are planning to get married later this year.

I have been told that it takes 2 years at-least to get a spouse visa for canada (She is a canadian national).

She is currently working in canada on a good job, but after marriage wants to live in Pakistan for / until the time we both can re-locate together...

is this possible ?
What documents will be required as she would have resigned from her current company to live in Pakistan, can we apply for a spouse / marriage visa for the groom so that they can travel together and start a life in canada ?

I have another question but that is related to UK (and for a friend) similar situation for him as well . . . . his future wife is a british national and he lives and works in dubai - so if she joins him in dubai and is not working how can she sponsor her ?

Will be most grateful for your suggestions / advise on this .. ..

Basically the central idea is that we don't want to live separate for such a long time after marriage ...

many thanks
Kamran
