Hello whoever can help us,
I am Canadian and currently residing in Japan with my Japanese wife. We've been married for over a year and half.
I decided I would like to bring her back to Canada with me to live. Would this be an Immigration case/Spousal Sponsorship ?
I read over a few other threads and found this webpage: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp
And there is also a section on the "Application to sponsor" form that states: Co-Signer <--------- What is that??
It's just me and my wife over here in Japan; would she be the co-signer? But isn't she the person who I am sponsoring?
Of course, I would have to fill out one of those forms and submit it. I plan to do so by returning to Canada first and submitting it personally.
How long would the process take?
A potential problem is, I am currently still paying off my student loans in Canada. Would this be considered "government assistance" and pose as a problem to sponsoring my wife over?
I, being in Japan right now, don't have a job back in Canada. I heard this isn't a problem even though I have no source of income.
If anybody could please clear this up for me, it would be greatly appreciated.
If not, I could understand since this is a busy forum with dozens of questions posted everyday.
Thanks for your time.
