Im so so nervous :(

Oh wow. Very judgemental. Shouldn't be posting things about other people.

I didn't make an assumption, I made a suggestion on what the failed business could have been. Merely an idea, not an assumption.

I am a troll, I am a fool... don't you think you are being full of yourself? In your post you got nothing but an invalid statement, and 2 insults... You are as useful as a 3 legged dog. Welcome to Canada, I hope you take advantage of the social services as much as you can, with a brain like yours you can only become a burden to society. See, that was an assumption, and a pretty damn good one.

Cheers.

No you were judgemental. Don't just assume what people are doing without knowing for sure. Especially in public..

Don't feed the troll guys, just let it be. It obviously doesn't get enough attention in real life.

To the OP, best of luck with your application! Kudos to your husband for having the guts to go out and start his own business. Sorry it didn't work out, but I applaud anyone who has the confidence to believe in themselves.

Wise words, looks like that guy is just going around to different posts and trolling them with bad information or just being rude.

Good advice! Will follow it in future.

Also to the OP: There shouldn't be any issues with your application. As others have said, a minor infraction from 20 or 30 years ago will be completely irrelevant to the immigration officer. As a Canadian citizen, your husband has the right to sponsor his spouse and they'll mostly be looking at two things: the genuineness of your relationship and your ability to support yourselves. Because the bankruptcy happened 10 years ago, I don't think it will be a concern. There's no rule that says that an entrepreneur whose business failed can never sponsor his loved one; all that matters is your *current* financial situation. As he's working and paying down a small debt, which everybody has, then you're perfectly sound. Good luck!

Very positive!!

My husband, that is sponsoring me, has an old conviction from when he was around 20.....he got a fine.....ha had a joint on him. He hasn't had any problems like that since then. But today he is almost 50 years old....so it was a long time ago.

No worries to be had as others have mentioned. I have the same charge from 20 years ago and received my 1st stage approval without a problem.

You're "right". What Canada "needs"is corporations like the hydro corporation in Ontario (and many others), that goes bankrupt, is bailed out by the gov and then we as taxpayers and users of hydro have to pay for their bankruptcy, and they somehow can still afford to buy 6 to 7 $60,000 cars and park them in front of one of their hydro buildings (which happens to be accross from our house). So abusers of the system like that got a second chance, a person that made a mistake and is paying back for it himself (not through taxpayers) needs to be punished and trashed talked? I would say go take your poison somewhere else, and learn to not judge a book by its cover.

I do not even see the relevance here, he is a born Canadian, who I believe has passed the sponsorship approval period, and now the only person to be assessed is his wife.

Seriously? You want all Canadians to make errors in judgement while being teenagers? What about the errors he made alter on in life, such as the great idea for a business, the debt and the resulting bankruptcy, should Canadians aspire to those errors too?

I may be a TOOL, but you are the FOOL.

Also, paying taxes from bankruptcy, or paying back anything for anything, is debt. What was his business? was growing pot i bet.

And FYI, you know nothing of me, and ergo cannot possibly conclude how much Canada does or does not need me. My arrogance and rudeness do not prevent me from positively contributing to this country. You know what is likely to prevent contribution though? lots of pot and debt, that's for sure.

Oh.....I didn't see all that has been written here until now. Oh....you guys....you make me cry now.....but is tears with a smile.. Even if Im so so nervous right now. We will get the decision now the 5th of Aug...on Stage 1.

We are so so so so grateful for everything you are telling us. And we think you are right If everyone had to live a totally perfect life, to be able to meet and live with you wife....or husband.....if she or he came from another country...then not very many could. At least if you have lived more then half your life, when its time to apply.

I have to add.....I AM VERY PROUD OF MY HUSBAND!!! I will never judge him for what he did when he was a young kid. I wouldn't judge anyone, for what they did when growing up years. It would be a little silly to do so, when it's today is soon to be a 50 year old man lol And I am proud of my husband that he dared to go for it, when he tried to start a business.....sad that the economy was so unstable during those years. But at least he was brave enough to try. And I'm very proud of my husband, who works hard every day and pay his taxes and does everything to do what's right.
So to you Judge, who sits on your high horses, shame on you. If you are young and write like you do....well then you are speaking from inexperience...If you are older: Take a look in your own closet. Not many people in this world, is going though this life without any mistakes. And by reading what you write, I'm sure you are not one of them.

And to all the rest of you: Biggest hug from both Dale and me....to you all

What do you mean by 'stage one'? Do you mean approval for your spouse to sponsor you?

About your sponsor's history, it's pure conjecture on my part but I don't think the spliff will be as much of a determining factor as the bankruptcy. If he has a high debtload you may have a problem as IC wants to ensure that the sponsor will be able to financially support you for three years.

I'll tell you this: After waiting for so long and being worried about our PR, I think a great many of us could use a puff or two.

lol lol

How high is high debt load? He owe 9.000.....that's all the debts he has....but its sinking pretty fast. Pays every month.... But that's all the debts he or we have. And we both have our steady income. So we are not worried to be able to care for us....at all. Do you think that 9.000 is enough for them to say no?

 

[DaleandMonica]

yes I meant Approval of sponsor....that's what I meant with stage 1. And they told us last time I talked to an agent, that we would get the decision Aug 5. Ooooooo we are so close to that day now

 

[gongdi]

No idea. I'm sure it would be overlooked if he has property in Canada. The minimum income requirement is overlooked if you are married. I have no idea if debt factors but I doubt the VO would throw your family in turmoil over 9K. Just my opinion though!

I can tell you that in my case, I don't have very much money saved (14K at the time), do not own property in Canada and I am earning a Chinese salary in China, but they still allowed me to sponsor my wife. I think the complicated and time consuming part in most cases comes with investigating the sponsor's spouse.

My logic tells me it won't be a problem. So I hope my logic is right. And soon we will know. Congrats to you and your wife

Yes I have been thinking about that too. I wonder how they go about their investigation and what they check for....and how they do it. It cant be easy....there are so many country's that doesn't keep so many records, maybe....and how do they do it then? Well....that is if they check? I don't even know what they check for....so hard to figure out how and what they do during their investigations
