Foreign Service - Strike?

[automaton82]

With me and my wife, it also is like that. We got the sponsorship thing out of the way, but now we are waiting on her PR visa to come through....not sure how long this whole thing is going to take (we applied for it about 6 months ago....) but we are waiting it out in Korea, not Canada. Can't take the chance of going there right now and then being rejected for entry.

I read your posts Matt. It seems you were in Canada with your wife, you then applied (inland application), but then her Visa expired and you both went back to Korea?

That part doesn't make sense to me. I thought when you apply for PR, you get an implied status, and can just stay here in Canada regardless of visa expiration. Perhaps I'm wrong?

The likelihood of someone from Korea being rejected is pretty remote. Has she killed someone or robbed a bank? If not I would look into returning to Canada to finish the process.

I don't understand what would cause her to be refused entry to Canada but would be acceptable for permanent residence. Does not compute.

Could just be she overstayed her visa last time so CIC thinks that may happen again.

Just out of curiosity, how would they know if you overstayed your visa? It's not like in Korea where you clear immigration before you leave.

She would get her entry visa when she lands in Canada. She has a Canadian husband who is a citizen and if she has a return ticket there should not be any problem. Their child is Canadian so there is no problem there. They just tell CBSA in Vancouver that they are going to wait out the rest of the process in Canada.

And just in time for Christmas!

This sound so much as a paid article. All about the money and Universities...

. . . the author is a "teacher".

I still don't get it, they want the ''same" salary as public servants IN Ottawa (double-shrug). OF COURSE the government won't cave.

Looks like the Star has forgotten what a strike is for. Provincial political leaders should be hounding the Federal Government to agree to the issue of pay equity and end the strike. Not joining the blame PAFSO game.

Actually I have a question about this. I'm going to sponsor my spouse in (she's in Canada on a work permit, Korean citizenship). If her work permit expires, but we apply for PR before it expires, can she leave the country and come back in during the process? I was under the impression it's not allowed.

Are you applying inland or outland?

my lawyer said applying PR wouldn't do anything with your status in Canada, no matter you are applying inland or not. no implied status either. so if she needs to leave Canada and come back in, she will need a valid entry visa; although korean citizen should be visa exempt for 6 months stay.

However, I have a Canadian friend who got married to French women. When she entered to Canada as a visitor during PR process, officer gave her 1 year visitor visa knowing that she would stay with husband during the process in Canada. just one good case I have heard, but may not apply to everyone.
