Spousal sponsorship

[colivia]

Correct..

So in a few years I can sponsor them over myself? And it wouldn't be a problem?

Hi All..
I am an Indian male and married to a Canadian citizen since April 2011. We have a 14 months old baby. We were engaged back in 2009 and had a courtship period of approx 2 years.
After the marriage my wife went back and found that the recession was still looming large on Canadian jobs sector. Earlier she used to work with Bell mobility but at that time they were not hiring. She tried at some other firms too but to no use...! So we decided that she should return so that we move ahead with our lives in India. One important thing I should mention here is that my wife lived for approx 2 years in India at her parents place before marriage and visited Canada once in that duration.
I am a Civil Engineer by profession and have been working on international and domestic heavy construction projects like Metro rail construction and Bridges etc. So I was more than willing to postpone the idea of migrating to Canada and to move ahead with our married life.
Now that we are parents of this beautiful baby, and I think I am ready to make my move to Canada, two questions have been constantly troubling me, whose answers I haven't got from any of the forums elsewhere in internet.
Q.1- My wife has been living with me since Aug 2011 and has not gone to Canada ever since. Is she still eligible to qualify as a sponsor?. If not then what has to be done in order to make her eligible, provided that she does not have a job or any kind of investments in Canada. The only thing that I am aware about is her OSAP loan which she took while she was studying there.
Q.2- Our baby was born in Chennai, India. I understand that by virtue of birth, he is automatically an Indian citizen and I even have Indian passport issued for him. Is he a Canadian citizen as well? If not, can he become one easily? Provided that his mother (my wife) is a Canadian citizen..
I would be obliged if somebody can answer my queries..!
Thanks in advance..
Amrit

A.1 - Yes, she is eligible to sponsor. This assumes that she is not financially or criminally ineligible for some reason. This would be things like being on welfare or an undischarged bankrupt.
A.2 - Yes, the baby is a Canadian citizen IF your wife did not become a citizen by descent if she was born outside Canada.

Amrit, these forums get really confusing for people if the same thing is posted in different places across the forums. I gave you the direct links to the information you wanted and other people will see your post (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/seek-members-guidance-related-to-spouse-sponsored-visa-t166605.0.html) and add their comments.

Because we are all spread across the world responses can take a little time. Like the immigration process, we just need to be patient ;D

I checked with CIC over this same thing and was told that a person on a tourist visa (even visa exempt) cannot be living in Canada. The person is only staying in Canada temporarily, even if that stay is extended. This is because a person on a tourist visa has no rights of residence in Canada.
So, for immigration purposes, you are only staying/visiting in Canada but live in your home country.

Note that on the application form it asks the applicant for their country of residence, and then asks what status you hold in that country. One of the options to choose in the drop-down menu is "visitor", which indicates they allow visitors to claim residential status for PR app purposes.

In general the address should match where you expect to be residing when the COPR is finally mailed out. If you expect to be in Canada with visitor status, then it's best to list Canadian address on the application to make sure the COPR is mailed to Canada and not to your home country.

Attach a letter and note the discrepancy. If you write on the form it will be lost because they scan the barcode forms for data entry - nobody looks at the part you filled in any more. A separate letter explaining what you did and why should be sufficient for someone to actually notice it.

Hi janelle, if my memory serves me right i think i answered that portion on the negative, meaning that i entered no.I am also using my husbands surname and likewise my passport bears the surname of my husband.

hi lyn, may be we can get an idea from dirkorver's reply.This is his reply to me when i asked him about my lacking medical.

Ellaine,first of all i want to let u know that i was the sponsor and my wife was the applicant..ok..heres the story..i submitted the application october 21, 2012 WITHOUT the medical in CPC-M..at that time,i was worried about my application because i havnt heard any updates from them regarding my application.on april 6 i called the call center here in canada asking them of any updates and they told me that my application was incomplete and i havnt submitted the medical from them..the agent told me that i should have included the medical together with the application.she intructed me to have my wife undergo a medical together with the letter of apology stating ur case and submit it to the CEM because the file was already transfered to them..she send it thru a courier..the medical was done on april 20 2013 and a month after that she received PPR thru mail together with the UCI And the file number..she submitted the passport on may 27 2013 and the visa was issued june 26 2013..i hope it helps..
