URGENT help needed!

[Battt]

Hello all and experts!

I have a very urgent situation and need help. If the sponsor got terminally ill while spousal sponsorship is in process, what will happen to the application? Sponsor had a heart attack and not doing very well.

1. Firstly we need to bring the spouse to see her husband. So she would apply for visitor visa, right? Currently the application for sponsorship is in Mississauga (not yet approved for 1st stage). Will this sponsorship application have any impact on the visitor visa?

2. If the spouse discloses the event (heart attack) to the visa office to obtain visitor visa, will this have any impact on the sponsorship application?

Please help. We are all in panic and wife needs to come here to take care of her husband.

Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Thank you,

Concerned relative.

1. A visitor's visa is required, yes. It's vital that the spouse prove to the border officials that she is only visiting and that she will return to her country of origin after the visa expires, otherwise she won't be let in to the country. Bring some sort of proof of your application, e.g. a copy of your application payment receipt.

2. As long as the sponsor is alive I don't see how the application should be affected.

Good luck!

If the sponsor passes away, the applicantion is forfeit as there is no longer a sponsor.

A wife getting a visa to visit her husband is unlikely, even in the event of illness. Health Canada provides great nursing services, so its not as if the sponsor will be on his own.

Even if they found out later on your permanent Residence Visa that your spouse has a heart issue it will not be a problem,
as spouses are exempted from medical inadmissibility and this will not bar acceptance to Canada,
Later for the PRV the Visa Office may request further medical exam or the panel physician may refer you to a specialist, which may cause a small delay on your file .

Hope you will get the TRV visa for your spouse

Thank you all for your answers. If the spouse get rejected for visitor visa, will that have any effect on the sponsorship application?

No, it doesn't have an effect. It shows that the relationship is genuine and the wife tried to come. So if granted, it's great, if denied, it doesn't impact the application.
Good luck,

Is there people from law firms here? Please I need advice in legal point of view.

The spouse will try to obtain visitor visa by providing very detailed hospital letter, which states her husband's condition. At this point no one is sure if he will ever be capable of working and providing for his family.

As she will disclose all of his current conditions to the visa office to obtain visitor visa, will this have any impact on sponsorship application? My understanding is that the sponsor should be capable of providing for his family to sponsor his spouse, right?

Experts! Please advice.

Thank you.

We have some members who work for CIC and immigration legal offices here, but I'm not comfortable naming names without their permission.

Perhaps you can call a lawyer in Canada and request a 'free consultation.' They usually last about 15 minutes. Ask your questions and ignore their pressure to hire them

If your relative can prove she will return with strong, strong ties to her home country, there is a small chance she will get the visa. However, if she's going to care for a sick spouse, CIC will see she plans to remain whether or not this is her intention.

The good news is, her husband doesn't have to work to sponsor her and he is allowed to sponsor on disability. I have a friend here that was approved to sponsor on disability. Her husband landed in Canada recently.

That'd be me right?

But yes, the sponsor can be on disablity and still be approved. I've been on disablity since 2011 and hubby landed on Friday

The sponsor is responsible for housing, clothing and feeding the spouse for 3(?) years, but the only disqualifyers are bankruptcy and welfare collection.

When applying for the visitor's visa, try to prove that the spouse will be returning to her country of residence after the expiration of the visa. If CIC suspects that she might stay in Canada illegally, she will not get a visa.

You guys are wonderful.. Thank you so much for your quick replies.

Here is what comes to my mind for proof of return:

1. Her employment letter
2. She has a kid (under 18) from previous marriage. Should she bring the kid's birth certificate? The kid is also included in sponsorship application.
3. Her properties? Apartment ownership certificate?

What other documents can help to convince the visa officer that she will return.

Once again THANK you so much for all your help.

I would say that's a very good start, include the information about the kid indeed, and the fact that she is in charge of him, and what are the arrangements that are being made when she is away, to show that it is only temporary due to the situation etc.
Her properties and assets in the country would also be a good one.
A return ticket for sure.
Nothing else comes to my mind, but will add up here if anything else comes through. I hope for her sake that she can get a visa to visit her husband.
Good luck,
Sweden
