EE declined and impact on spousal sponsorship

[RaeShumba]

Hi there, I'm awaiting an ITA for my EE application currently and am wondering if spousal sponsorship is in fact a more 'reliable' route rather.

I've taken the skilled worker avenue having been advised by a lawyer this would grant me my PR the quickest given I've a good CRS score. I'm wanting to clarify however if my full EE application for PR is denied, could this effect my ability to apply for spousal sponsorship through my husband afterwards?

Thanks

FSW path can be relatively faster as there are chances of file getting processed in about 6-7 months vs spousal sponsorship which may take about a year.

Your FSW rejection probably won't have any impact on spousal sponsorship unless your file is rejected for reasons such as fraud and misrepresentation.

Fraud/misrepresentation would affect any future applications. Besides that, there’s no negative impact of a refused EE application.

I would say you go for spousal sponsorship because EE is taking around 8-10 months lately and in some cases more than a year. Through SS route there are very less chances of rejection.
I've applied through EE and approaching 9 months completion of waiting period. I've seen cases where SS applications are processed in 4 months time. All in all, it depends on your luck but SS is certainly much safer route.

Thanks for this - very useful. Would you happen to know anything regarding the ability to travel during the processing time of an inland spousal sponsorship application? Have been told contradictory info on this - I can vs. can't / shouldn't travel. This is the biggest factor influencing whether I pursue SS over EE at this stage. Thanks

That's too low to be selected. Go the spousal sponsorship route.

If you need the ability to travel, apply for spousal sponsorship using the outland route. You can do this while in Canada. Note however that you won't qualify for an open work permit if you apply outland.

Yes have read the difference but need the work permit. I'm unable to determine if its a black and white issue, i.e. I cannot travel or I can

There is nothing stopping from leaving Canada. The issues are as follows: (1) If you leave, there's never a guarantee you'll be allowed back in and if for any reason you're denied entry, this would effectively cancel your application; (2) The inland route requires you to be cohabitating with your sponsor in Canada. If you spend too much time away, you risk having your application canceled for failing to meet this requirement.

Yeah - nope. Right now you need 470+.

Yes saw the latest draw but does seem to be coming down. Lats lawyer suggested by next month draw should be around my level - is that normal?

Most people here would disagree with that opinion. If you want to discuss that specific topic, go here:
