Immigration Forum / Canada / October 2006PLS HELP- Visitor visa cancelled
I am PR of Canada but staying in US and intend to move Canada once my wife gets her visitor visa. To my surprise when she applied for her 'visitor visa' her application was refused on the ground that she "will not go out of Canada". In the past in this forum I asked similar question that how can a PR residing outside Canada sponsor spouse or "Family Member". I got suggestion to get visitor visa for spouse to get in Canada and then apply for PR from winthin Canada. But why was her application rejected. Anybody has any clue if I being a PR can take my wife on visitor visa? Is there any other visa or procedure or provision? Jim PLS help. Thanks. Unfortunately it looks like you are out of luck and will have to go to Canada by yourself, settle and then sponsor your spouse. I do not have any details of your situation so that is the best answer I can give.

One wishing to beat thee system by not sponsoring their partner abroad as the IRPA is designed to do risks getting refused. PR are suppose to be residents and if you enter depending on your spouses visa post it should only be four-six months. Roy www.cvimmigration.com -- As a PR, you are supposed to live in Canada and establish residency. There is a 2 year residency requirement over a 5 year period to maintain your PR status. Canadian citizens can sponsor their spouse living outside Canada but same doesn;t apply to PR for some reason. You need to live in Canada and show your income before you can sponsor your spouse. As for her visitor visa being rejected - one of the condition of issuing visitor visa is that the visitor will leave Canada on or before the date the visa expires. Since there is a tie for her in Canada as you are a PR, immigration sensed that she will not return. Basically what they want you to do is to stay in Canada yourself and sponsor your wife. Hope that helps. === Sincerely, RahimBadsha http://www.visacanadaimmigration.com > > I am PR of Canada but staying in US and intend to move Canada once my > > wife gets her visitor visa.

Should I apply first for her sponsorship application without applying for immigration 2. Can I reapply for for Visitor visa once sponsorship application is approved. I read news article at CIC web site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/sponsor/faq-spouse.html about unifying family member untill case has been decided. What is this about? Thanks. |
