Spousal sponsorship

[tranjini]

In government administration - visa officers are monopoly they do follow un-written rules. If you follow only the rules written on website - god only can help you !!! I am not saying they solely judge the file on job and qualification but it is a good addition to her file. it makes her case look good in the eyes of the visa officer.

There is absolutely NO REQUIREMENT to be a skilled worker or have any specific level of education in a spousal app. It is based solely on the relationship with the Canadian sponsor. An illiterate person that has never worked a day in their life will be approved if they can show a genuine relationship.

COPRs have an expiry date stated right on them. If a person does not land by the COPR expiry date, their app is closed and they must start from scratch.

I have had legal counsel & they have always implied that having a skilled trade, bilingualism, fluency in English etc... Are beneficial to your application.

And logically this makes sense that the government would like to bring in people who will be able to contribute to canadian economy.

Even though, technically, spousal sponsorships are supposed to be based on genuineness of marriage & admissibility.... It can't hurt to show your strengths as a prospective citizen ...

Then there is no issue with you being a PR of the UK and sponsoring your husband. It is Canadian PRs that can't sponsor a spouse while living abroad.

Show your intent to reside in Canada when your husband is granted his Canadian PR and you shouldn't have an issue.

Is it possible for us to move to Canada as a family and apply for permanent residency for my husband from inside Canada or will that cause us trouble? Also, if we do go down the spousal sponsorship route will we be allowed to travel to Canada to visit while the application is being processed?

Because you are a visa officer and know everything...

The majority of applicants only follow the rules on the website and yet seem to do perfectly fine.

Your husband cannot "move" to Canada as a visitor. He may visit. You should still definitely submit an OUTLAND visa application through the London visa office. It is listed as a long processing time, but UK citizens are processed much much quicker (it recently increased in the posted time because Pakistani applicants are now processed there, and their criminal checks, ID checks, etc take much longer). He may visit with you throughout the process, however, when going through customs he should not say he is moving, as CBSA doesn't like that language unless so,done has the proper visa to live in Canada. If u submit the application and bring proof of the application for PR and proof of payment, then he can say he is visiting you in Canada until his PR sponsorship is approved.

Both events have been approved by the cities.

SPONSORING MY HUSBAND. HELP!

So I am sponsoring my husband and he has very accurately filled up all the forms provided by Immigration Canada on the link.
But before I sent in our application for good, I wanted to be sure of some things. Does my husband need to send in a PR card application along with the application package included?
and i am really confused about the payments. if somebody could explain to me how the payment works, that would be great.
