Hi,
I have a few questions regarding the immigration process when a common-law partnership is involved.
I am applying to get a work permit (I'm Italian, have already an offer letter for a job in Quebec, lmia exempt). I'm requesting an open work permit for my common-law partner (she's Spanish). The statutory declaration that has been already authenticated by a notary in the UK (where we live).
My questions are:
Thanks
I have a few questions regarding the immigration process when a common-law partnership is involved.
I am applying to get a work permit (I'm Italian, have already an offer letter for a job in Quebec, lmia exempt). I'm requesting an open work permit for my common-law partner (she's Spanish). The statutory declaration that has been already authenticated by a notary in the UK (where we live).
My questions are:
- Once obtained the work permits (if everything goes fine), can we arrive in Canada in different dates (she will reach me a couple of months later)? Do we need to cross to border together?
- If 1. is affirmative, could the statutory declaration of common-law be affected somehow?
- If 1. is affirmative, do I have to specify that my partner will reach me later than my arrival into the country, somewhere in the application?
- If 1. is negative, can she get into Canada as a visitor and apply for an open work permit inside, using the same declaration of common law?
- If 1. is negative, do I need to fly back and pick her up so she can get the country?
Thanks
