Dear All,
My wife and I are going to get married soon. She is a US Citizen by birth and carries a US passport and I am a Canadian PR. Since from a young age she has been brought up in India and never visited except from birth to first couple of years in her life.
After Marriage she is planning to come to Canada with me to visit me and stay with me while we apply for the spousal sponsorship from inland.
I have few questions to clarify this process which I hope you guys would be be able to help me out with.
Regards

I have few questions to clarify this process which I hope you guys would be be able to help me out with.
- We won't have a PR application filed when we return to Canada. Only document we would be carrying are both our Passports (mine Indian and hers USA) and my PR Card. Should she approach the CBSA counter at the airport alone or should we approach the officer together as a couple?
- What should we tell the officer? That my wife is just visiting Canada with me? and plan to return back or should we mention that we are planning to apply for Inland spousal sponsorship while she is in Canada? My actual question is should we reveal the intention of staying in Canada permanently? (also note that she doesnot have a permenant job in India and she is stil studying while self employed on a part time basis)
- Is there any issue with the dual intention in this case?
- What documents should I carry to support any claim?
Regards
