*urgent help* sponsoring my spouse who is currently in canada

[walter8299]

Hi all,

I am new here and I have been searching as much information as I can to prepare myself to sponsor my spouse to become permanent residence of Canada. Then I came across this site and find it very resourceful, but I have a question hoping I can get some direct answers.

Here are some details:
- My wife is currently in canada, her current study visa has expired a few months. But she did apply for visa extension through her school prior to expiry. However, we have recently receive a letter that her study visa is still being process and may take another 30-120 days to complete. In short, she is currently residing in Canada with her last study visa expired, but having her extension in process.

- We are married as of awhile ago and we discover she is pregnant (yes, I am becoming a first-time dad ). So I am planning to apply sponsorship for her to become permanent residence as I want to establish my family here in Canada for sure.

- I am Canadian (born in Canada), have a stable job (been in the same company for the last 2 years and counting), have a condo, and also buying a house soon for upsizing (having a baby). The only debt I have is student loan and of course the mortgage. I owned all my vehicles and pay all my credit card bills on time.

Now my questions are:

(1) In my wife's current situation, is she consider illegally residing in Canada? When I look up the application forms to apply for sponsorship. There are two choices, one is for sponsoring a spouse who lives with you in Canada currently; and the other is sponsoring your spouse who lives outside of Canada.
I am guessing since she is currently living with me in Canada, I would be applying through the first option. Am I safe to do so? I am just afraid I would get my wife in trouble with Canada and affect the approval of the application for wrong impression.

(2) Will having a baby affect the medical examination that might be required?

(3) Any inputs/suggestion/feedbacks/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Walter

what country is your wife from originally?

You can apply inland or outland inland normally take longer than if you apply outland, applying outland doesn't mean she has to leave Canada ot just means the aplication will be sent back to her homeland to process

The pregnancy may mean she won't do an Xray as thats harmful

Which country is she from then you can get a better answer

Despite the fact, where your wife is from. I have following recommendations;

So, the current status is implied as she is waiting for her student visa and this makes her legal stay in Canada. It means that you are being able to apply for her inland application. Since it is advisable to apply inland application when you have valid status.

- We are married as of awhile ago and we discover she is pregnant (yes, I am becoming a first-time dad ). So I am planning to apply sponsorship for her to become permanent residence as I want to establish my family here in Canada for sure.

Well, Pregnancy should not have happened as she has to go through x-rays. Since the first stage approval takes 10-11 months and I am sure you wife will be done with pregnancy by then. I have seen alot of people sending Medical after 6 months or so. You could apply for inland application using her current valid status and sit on it for a while. If immigration, send you the request for the medical in between, let them know your wife is pregnancy and you would be able to send them in ___ months time. I highly doubt that they would request such things so soon as they have had already so many applications and if they have the all the other of the documents completed, they wont make a fuss about medical at all.

I have answered this question in the last answer. See above.
(3) Any inputs/suggestion/feedbacks/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend to file for her application ASAP like in weeks time and send it over. Else in case if her student visa rejects, you would be in a mess. So, Gather your documents and send her application without medical.
