Canadian student sponsors a husband

[Alexey92]

Hello everyone,

Could you please help me?
The situation is as follows.

I am 24 years old, IT specialist with a Latvian citezenship. My girfriend (future wife) is 22 years old, she is a student at university doing her last year. She has a Canadian citezenship.
The problem is that she has currently an unpaid student loan and counts as a dependent child, since she lives with her mom.
Her mom gets a welfare, but not my girflriend since she has a part time job.
We are planning to marry this summer and are thinking about getting a permanent resident status for me.
Thus, my questions are:
1) After she will get married, will she be still a dependent child?
2) Are we eligible to apply to a spouse sponsorship immigration program, taking in account her situation with a student loan and her mom's welfare?

Thank you very much in advance!

She is not in receipt of welfare, therefore she should be fine to sponsor you. You will need to draft a plan that outlines how you two will live, without the need for social assistance.

I am currently working in IT company, which has offices all over the world and in Canada as well.
So I guess, it shouldn't be a big deal to transfer me to a Canadian office if I will get a permanent resident status.
+I am planning to bring some savings with me, which should be enough for the first 6 months.
Do you think this will convince officers, that we won't need social assistance?

It can be, but you will have to provide a plan how you will support yourselves (live with someone, etc).

If you can transfer, you could apply inland and submit an OWP. Then you could work in 4 mos from the date you apply...
