Hi .. I have a quick question.

My husband has been in this country for 3 months and he is on a conditional PR. Is he able to sponsor his son from another marriage on conditional PR or must he wait?

We have put his son on the application and done the medical when I sponsored my husband. He decided to come here first to get settled with me and then go back and sponsor him. We decided to wait but it seems that his son is anxious to be with his father. However we are having lots of problems that I think we should wait until we are much more settled.

My questions is what is the process on my husband sponsoring his son on conditional PR.
 
He can sponsor him immediately if he wants. Doesn't matter if conditional or full PR.
 
Yup, as Rob_TO said.

Note that he has to stay with you in Canada for the duration of the sponsorship process.
 
Yes we have been having lots of problems because of the weather and so many changes for him. I do want to wait a least a year to get settled because financially its been hard. If we separate before his 2 year his sponsorship for his son can be revoked?

What is the timelime of sponsorship of dependent is it the same as it shows on CIC for other family sponsorship?

If you separate before 2 years then his PR status can be revoked, after which of course any sponsorship in progress would also be cancelled.

Time for children sponsorship generally follow the outland processing times, so depends on visa office. I've heard children apps are a bit quicker than spousal sponsorship, but not sure.
 
We have been fighting alot, i'm wondering if this is normal because of the change and struggles he has been encourtering.
I have noticed that he has started recording me when we fight because it can get a bit ugly.

I wanted to wait until we both are settled in our marriage and finances to proceed. He is fine with that and agrees. I have open my home to him and before I make another commitment I want to be settled before we can proceed.

Can he still proceed without my consent?

Yes, he can sponsor his son without your consent.
 
conditional PR rule doesn't apply for domestic abuse cases.
 
Thank you for your information. When you marry you never know what is the other person's intent and how things change when someone comes here. But I'm hoping that this is a phase of changes that we both are going through and that is why we are having so much problems.

It's important to create a healthy home.

Couples argue at times. That is normal. Especially when in stress (like moving to a new country).

The recording is a bit ....discomforting. He's doing it as backup in case you two break up before 2 years and he wants to keep his PR by using the "abuse" clause that your abused him (verbally). If he can prove that you abused him, then even if you break up before 2 years he still keep PR despite conditional PR. If your arguments get heated and you verbally threaten him, he can use that as evidence to help his case.
 
The recording is not good!! Be carful with what you say, he could use you just to get here and now he could try to find an excuse to break up with you.
