Hello! I will just summarize everything for you guys: My fiance and I have been seeing eachother for 3 years, we are getting married at the end of this month. She was here on a student visa then a work visa ( is employed full time in Canada). She applied for a visa extension a few months back and just recently it was denied fyi. Right now we both live in Toronto.
She was a doctor back home in Venezuela and she wants to practice medicine in Canada ( skilled worker an advantage?) We are having a small ceremony with immediate family only ( her family is flying in from Venezuela). I don't want an elaborate ceremony right now and neither does she, we just can't afford it atm. We do not currently live together but we are moving in together very shortly. We have basic proof our relationship is genuine mostly pictures although we haven't gone on vacation abroad. We are abit worried of being overly scrutinized but we are in love and I know if we are interviewed it will be obvious this is a real relationship. We have many people who will vouch for us such as our longterm landlords, friends, both our families.
So besides that how long should we expect this whole process to take to get her PR? We should be filing my sponsorship application in November of this year. Also, how long should it take for her work visa to be reissued?
One more thing, I was longterm employed since the age of 15, 10+ years in my last job. I am 30 years old. However, I have been unemployed on EI for 8 months. Is this a big issue? She has her FT job waiting for her once shes legal to work again they love her!
appreciate all responses!
