Hello All,

I am a Canadian resident who got divorced and now in a five year sponsorship ban. I am planning to get married soon from outside of Canada.

Since I am on a sponsorship ban till mid of next year, I thought of bringing my spouse on visit visa/ working holiday visa and live together till I am eligible to apply.
We had applied for working holiday visa and it got approved. Means.. my spouse got the working holiday visa before the marriage itself.
My concern is ,

1. Can my spouse come to Canada after marriage , using the working holiday visa?
2. I know , you have to declare your status at the port of entry , if it is changed after the working holiday visa is approved. In my case, I got married from outside of Canada
and my spouse is coming to Canada using the working holiday visa which was got approved well before marriage. Will the officers doubt the intent ??

3. Will there be any problem at the port of entry? Can they deny the entrance when declaring my spouse got married to a me, who is a Canadian resident and trying to enter Canada using WHV??

4. if yes, can someone help is identifying the alternate way to bring my spouse to Canada, and to live together till I am eligible to apply under spousal category?


Thanks.
 
There shouldn't be any issues coming to Canada on a WHV provided your spouse qualifies and is approved. Your marriage should have no impact on your spouse's ability to use the visa.
