No I dea of where or How to Start Spousal Application...HELP

[sammy90]

Hey everyone,

Finally I got married and now it's just a matter of sponsoring my husband who lives in the west indies. I have no idea of where to start seeing that I am a full-time student on OSAP without a job and am not on welfare also. I have read on this forum of spouses sponsoring their partner while in school without a job by just writing a detailed letter of what their plans are upon graduating. I, however; have no idea of how to begin or write in such a letter. I am in a chemical engineering program so I can get a really good job after school but I don't know what to do.

I don't want to wait 2 or 3 years to start the process, so I was hoping someone or some members can actually help shed some light on my situation.

Thanks Everyone

1. Your parents can write a letter indicating they will support you and your husband while you are in school.
2. In the letter, talk about what you are studying how how you are planning to get a job in your field once you graduate.

I read on these forums that a Canadian man who lives in Germany was allowed to sponsor his wife because his family wrote a letter of support.

I don't have a template for such a letter, but it might help to approach your letter thinking:
1. how do you support yourself now - OSAP, bursaries, scholarships?
2. how will you support yourself and spouse when he arrives?
3. are you receiving help from family e.g. free rent, groceries, etc. Get affidavits from them.
4. will family help when he arrives? e.g. allow you guys live with them until you get your own place? Can they write affidavits attesting to this and include their most recent tax documents?
5. do you have savings/investments? Include proof.
6. talk about your education, the kind of jobs you can get after graduaton, any work experience, the salary you could earn with the degree, etc.
7. does your husband work? Include letter of employment stating duties, salary, etc. Include any proof of savings he has.
8. describe the kind of work he can get in canada. If his job is a regulated field, perhaps describe any efforts made to get Canadian certifications in his field or getting his education credentials assessed by agencies like WES, etc.

They just like to see that there is a concrete plan in place to support yourselves and that you would not need to go on welfare.
