If your wife was sponsored for PR through the spousal sponsorship program - then yes, she must wait until 5 years after her landing date before she can sponsor you. If she became a PR sometime in 2009 then she will have to wait until 2014 to submit the application to sponsor you.

If your wife was sponsored to Canada as something other than a spouse, then she can sponsor you now.

yes she was married with an ex canadian man once she was sponsored by him so we got married in MARCH 2012 ;;;;; BUT anyway can i visit her durring this periode of waitin cuz its really kinda sucks , and i am really gunna lose it to be honest , i mean what the point of all this lows anyway as long as she meet all the requirement what the point of this stuffs pointless huh ??? ....

As long you can Get a visa, you can visit her....
But If was sponsored,she needs to wait 5 years from the time she was sponsored

The point of the 5 year sponsorship bar for sponsored spouses is to curtail the merry-go-round of sponsored spouses who arrive in Canada, promptly divorce their sponsoring spouse, marry someone else and sponsor their new spouse while their former spouse is unable to sponsor anyone else for 3 years until the undertaking that covers them is expired. It was a very unfair situation that was widely abused, and the current legislation seeks to redress the imbalance.

You may seek a TRV or other means of entering Canada in order to spend time with your spouse in Canada, but until 2014 she is not eligible to sponsor you.

samy77: what are you gonna lose from what ? this rule was implemented upon a thousands of survey from all over. So it is not sucks, rather it became a tool to stop fraudulent marriages......You should be happy about it. Good luck..

If she's an American, she might be able to sponsor you into the US without having to wait the extra time. Just something to consider, don't know if it will be feasible for you.

Information on temporary resident (visitor) visas can be found here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visa.asp

You are correct, the embassy would not tell you any different from what we here have told you, if they would tell you anything at all. They are not in the business of providing counseling on immigration matters, their job is to process applications.

Waiting sucks, but getting a visitor's visa shouldn't be too difficult to obtain as long as you meet the requirements. Stay positive and while it's not ideal, using Skype can help a lot.

Good luck.

yes she is an american but aint live there for like 4 years ,i think u r right but the thing is she has to meet their own requirements again which means she has to drop everything she built in canada to start over again from nothin in US , that would be another extra time that the point am i right ???

samy77: This is the only immigration sector got 'abused' too much and now we have been suffering! I understand you frustartion and at the same time I think 5 year bar for sponsored person is good. so that they can think twice about doing any bad decision. People are so greedy they will take few thousand dollar and sponsor someone to bring over and that person willl come here and sponsor other person for money! Did you ever think about it ? How to stop those frauds ? Do you have any 'great' idea yet ? This is abuse? Right ? Thanks.
