Delicate immigration issue

[browning911]

You can land, get your PR card, then go back to your country and get married. You would then have to return to Canada and stay here while the application to sponsor your spouse is being processed. If she can get a visitor visa, she can visit you here.

DO NOT get married first, then land using the PR visa you currently have. The COPR you have now has you listed as single; if you land as single when you are actually married, you will never be able to sponsor your wife.

You could get married first, then apply to have your wife added to your current application. CIC will then rescind your current COPR, examine your wife, and issue you two new PR visas so you can land together.

If you have lived for 12 months or more with this woman, you must add her to your application as your common-law spouse before you land.

Listen to what Canadianwoman just told you, please.

Thank you guys for your help. Very helpful! I also wanted to ask, if it would be a good idea to register my fiancee for, keys say, language or any other professional course in Canada and get a student visa. And once shes there, i would apply as a sponsor?

A language course will most likely end in refusal. Language courses are what people try to take when they aren't genuine students and are just trying to use the study permit to get to Canada (just like you're thinking of doing). CIC isn't stupid and knows this. If she wants to try to come to Canada through the study permit route, the studies she plans to take in Canada must make sense in light of her previous education and experience. Additionally, she must demonstrate she has sufficient funds to pay for her first year tuition and living expenses. This means she'll need to show a bank balance of at least $25K.

I understood the idea, just afraid if it is worth changing the application and re-applying. What are the odds of being rejected? We are both working in an international company and both got ielts score of 8.

If you marry her before you land, she has to pass the medical exam. If she is healthy, that should not be a problem. If she has some type of medical condition that might make her ineligible to immigrate to Canada with you, then you should land first, then go back and marry her. A sponsored spouse does not have to 'pass' the medical - they have to have one, but if they have a serious medical problem they can still be sponsored.

If you marry her before you land, or if you have lived with her for 12 months or more, you have no choice: you must add her to your current application.

She can apply for a study permit. Once in Canada, though, you would still have to sponsor her.

If you don't want to deal with a long distance marriage, get married now and add her to your application.
