Sponsoring my Cuban husband

[reyvolker]

I unfortunately live in Quebec and the immigration process is extremely long. Howey I have been told by a immigration consultant that I can apply for sponsorship and once I get the acknowledgement of receipt I can apply for a TRV for a spouse and if approved he could wait in Canada for the residency process is done , also once here we could apply for a open work permit. Now what are the chances to get a TRV for a Cuban husband ? Because honestly I don't want to wait 3-4 years, lots can happen in the time ,

What sort of ties does he have to Cuba (family, property, job etc)? Has he had other visitor visas to other countries before? I’m far from an expert on TRVs but my understanding is that they look at things like that. You may want to research if it’s better to apply for a TRV before or after submitting the spousal sponsorship.

On a QC specific note: any chance you could just move to a neighbouring province and then not be under the QC rules? Obviously if you’re located in the middle of QC with a non-flexible job that might not be feasible, but if you’re near ON or NB or have a flexible job situation it might be very worth it to just move BEFORE submitting the spousal sponsorship.
