Hi everyone,
I went to a counseling session at an immigration centre. Im a Permanent Resident who is getting married in three months. My soon to be husband lives in El Salvador and has a valid 5 year visitor visa to Canada. We thpught our only option was outland but during the session they told me he can come with all the papers (marriage certificate, police check and and so) and state at customes that he is married to me and that we are submotring an inlad
Nd application and they should not deny him the entry. Is that correct? We thought that only was for people who met in Canada but we didnt. Is this something feasible? It would be a game changer being together again.
Now with the 12 month streamlined process. Is it safer still to do outland vs inland??
Appreciate your input to know what to do (even tp know of I have to make 2 travels)
If that´s the case, do we have to disclose our intentions of applying inland for a family sponsorship when traveling back with all the documents proofing our marriage??? Does that jeopardizes his entry at the airport?
i AGREE that you can apply inland but just FYI inland takes longer than outland. My personal experience - my husband s from visa exempt country so when he came to canada with me after marriage, we applied outland, he stayed for 6 months and then applied for extension within canada. we got our immigration in less than 5 months. inland will take 2 plus years. but you can get a work permit while application is in process. you can choose what works best for you
According to immigration both outland and inland now takes 12 months... they said they will process 80% of applications within 12 months..correct me if i m mistaken...but I agree you do what you you is best for you..everyone has a different situation...in my case i choose to be with my partner here in Canada and get a job when i get my opw...

Absolutely agree and that leads me to the following questions:
- is there any chance of entry being denied for him for trying to enter with a visitor visa but clear intent to apply for a family sponsorship inland?
- when asked the reason of travel at customs, what should we say?
- in the declaration card, he has to declare for how many days he will be staying in the country, if we're applying inland, what should that be??

I assume they are referring to "dual intent". I'm not sure what the clinic meant by "should not deny him entry", that taken literally is not always true as far as I know, as you aren't supposed to "move" to Canada before the PR is completed. Dual intent means he still has to satisfy the officer that he will leave at the end of the visit, but there is no law against coming to Canada to apply for inland sponsorship. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/dual.asp
In my mind, I'd suggest he say he's "visiting his wife for x amount of time" and if they question further, he can show his proof of intent to apply for PR (the documents they were referring to).
