Hi

Did you get married after you became a PR?


1. There is no minimum income. You must be able to show CIC that you can support yourselves without welfare.

2. Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada class.

3. The pilot program allows inland applicants to apply for an Open Work Permit along with their PR app.

4. Inland takes a few years. New Delhi averages around a year or less.


In order to apply inland and receive an OWP, your wife must be in Canada. Unless she already has a TRV, the chances of her being approved for one are low. An outland app through New Delhi is your best choice.

Outland app: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp

As I said, the chances of her being approved for a TRV are low but you can still try.

Hi,

I have a question on spouse sponsorship that is a little weird...but I will ask anyway...

Suppose I go back to India to get married say after 6 months or a year but do not return back to Canada say for another year or so:-

1) can I start the sponsorship process of my spouse sitting back in India? Or do I need to be in Canada to start the sponsorship process?
2) If the answer to above question is..."i need to be in Canada to sponsor a spouse"...can I come, stay for couple of months, start the sponsor process and then fly out back?

1. If you are a PR, not a citizen, you have to submit the application in Canada, and remain in Canada during the processing of the application. If you leave for other than a vacation of a couple of weeks, IRCC can will refuse under 130.1 of the Regulations
