Spousal sponsorship

[jmarie]

My husband is in Canada with me, I'm a Canadian citizen by birth. We applied inland, as that is what we had been told to do by a company that provides immigration services. I didn't find out until the day after we applied that we could have applied outland while he's in Canada.

We submitted the work permit extension application with the PR application, so he's currently in "implied status" while working. Would he have been able to continue working if we had applied outland rather than inland?

We would like to visit his family in Brazil, but it seems like a risk while waiting for his PR. In order to return to Canada he would need a tourist visa, which we could apply for. Would this be the case regardless of whether or not we had applied inland or outland?

Do we have any recourse here? Should we withdraw our inland application and apply outland? Will this allow him to continue working AND allow him to travel outside Canada?

Thanks!

The OWP is only available to inland applicants. He would need a visa to return to Canada in any case, and those are not always approved. If he decides to go home, and his visitor visa is refused, then his inland application will be considered abandoned, and you will have to restart from scratch outland. If you apply outland and his visitor visa is refused, the application continues as usual.

Also, he is only under implied status as a worker, if he did NOT have an IEC/CEC work permit or [possibly] a PGWP, as those are NOT extendable.

My Husband submitted the PR visa for me in December and I'm planning to visit him for few months through Tourist Visa.
Can someone please tell me
1. if I apply for Tourist Visa, will it impact the PR visa? ie will the PR visa process slow down since I'm going to Canada as a tourist?
2. Does the tourist visa have any connection to PR visa?
3. If my tourist visa gets rejected by any chance, how soon can i reapply? and will the rejection impact the PR Visa?

1. Applying for a TRV doesn't affect your PR application, especially since it's already submitted.
2. There isn't a connection between TRV and PR
3. You can reapply immediately if the TRV is rejected, but usually it is a good idea to update or fix whatever it is that they didn't like with the application for TRV to begin with. Applying for a TRV when PR app is already submitted can be even more difficult to get because they VO knows you want to stay in Canada permanently. It is a double edged sword. But worth a shot! Good luck!

hi everyone

Ive been following this post for a while its been very helpful and informative.

my situation is as follows im sponsoring my husband and we are going through the Ankara VO, at the end of November my husband had his interview which seemed to go ok, the VO was very professional and my husband had the impression that it went well. day after we went into In Process on ECAS we did receive an email in December about updated Police clearance which we sent out the next day, what worries me is we haven't heard anything since then and our ECAS has not been updated to medicals received..... this has been a long process for us going on 13 months just miss my husband so much

applicant is the person you're sponsoring or bringing to Canada. And sponsor is the person in Canada like Permanent Resident/Canadian Citizen. I hope that clears it up a little bit

Good day everyone.

I became a PR august, 2014. I went back in my home country december, 2014 and got married and came back to Canada on the same month.Can I be able to sponsor my spouse right away?. We've been busy gathering all documents needed for the sponsorship but I was advised that I couldn't do so because we've just been married for a month. Is this true?

That's false. There is no waiting period after marriage. You can apply immediately once you've gathered all of the documents and proof and filled out all the application papers for both spondor and applicant.

What do u mean, tell CIC about your marital status? When you submit your application, one of the documents that must be included is your marriage certificate. Here is a link to the application. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse-apply-how.asp
You will apply either INLAND or OUTLAND. They have some different application papers.
