Hey guys! Thanks in advance for any help / advice given.
I just had a couple of questions regarding a few questions within the spousal immigration forms.
I am a Kiwi (New Zealander), and my wife is a Canadian Citizen (by birth) and also a New Zealand Permanent Resident. She has lived in New Zealand since 2006.
We are currently in Canada, and intend to stay in Canada from acceptance of my PR, until I can qualify for Citizenship (and beyond, of course!)
1st question. If I am currently in Canada on a Visitor (esta) visa, and have no plans to go back and live in New Zealand at all, aside to visit family, is it acceptable for us to apply for an 'in Canada' sponsorship? I will always maintain legality in regards to my visa, and we will apply for an open work visa on the end of the PR sponsorship application.
2nd question, If my wife has resided in NZ until now, but now we are in Canada, for the question 4 in im344e 'Do you reside in Canada and no other country', would that answer be 'Yes' now, considering we are planning to live here permanently?
3rd question, in my imm0008enu_2d form, for the question asking for current country of residence, am I able to put Canada - Visitor - and with the current immigration status for the 'end date' of my visitor ESTA (180days from entry)?
4th and final question, for the question regarding 'what province do you intend to reside in', is it acceptable to put Nova Scotia, as that is where we are currently / will be for some time, although we also fully intend to check out Ontario and BC. We both work online, so my wife nor I will require a 'job', and can work remotely from anywhere.
Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it
