Hey guys, hope you are all facing success.
I am another canuck who always does things the hard way, hence falling for an American who plans to immigrate to Canada.
My fiance qualifies for immigrating in the skilled worker class, via arranged employment, however we are nearing the date of our marriage and the job search has been to no avail, so more and more the spousal sponsorship seems sensible.
But there are a few things I am uncertain about.
If my fiance does the ''outbound'' process under that category, I understand he will be permitted to work & reside in America? If this is true, does this exempt me from the obligation to provide for him financially? It may seem like a no-brainer but I want to be sure. How strict are they in terms of financial sponsorship? I am afraid my income is less than what they require, oooh the plight of a student! ha
Will I be required to submit bank records etc? & if he receives his permanent resident status in less than 3 years, how soon will he be able to work?
Finally, in the event that his access to Canada is limited, can we acquire a temporary permit for visits? We plan to get married at the justice of the peace at the end of the month, so we can begin applying in time to process for the date of our formal wedding in September 2012. Based on your experiences, is that time line realistic?
My apologies if any of these questions are redundant, but we are trying to be as sensible as possible. So any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. ;D
