If you attempt to enter Canada for the purpose of looking for work, you will be denied entry. You cannot legally work in Canada without a work permit and most people cannot get a work permit without a job offer. Yes, in theory, you can look for work in Canada on a tourist visa, but if that is...

Good luck!

Normally people sponsored inland stay in Canada for the duration of their sponsorship application's processing time. It's understood that you will leave Canada if your sponsorship application is refused. My understand is that it's not quite the same thing as what is normally meant by "implied...

Hi there, So your current open work permit is an International Experience Class OWP? If so, you should be still eligible for the open work permit inland sponsored spouses can apply for during an inland sponsorship application. But I am not 100% sure. The publicly stated processing time is 12...

Do you have work experience? If so, please look into: Express Entry https://www.immigroup.com/express-entry

Hi there, I'm sorry to say I'm unfamiliar with this particular situation. I was unaware that you needed an actual job offer before your husband can get an open work permit to accompany your PGWP. But that being said, you should definitely apply right away for your PGWP. It will be very hard...

Well, if he gets his eTA he doesn't need an invitation letter. Provided he is granted the eTA, he will be allowed entry into Canada for up to 6 months, though it is at the discretion of the officer at the port of entry.

In most cases, we can help you regardless of where you are in the world. It depends upon the application (if original documents or certified copies are required for the application, that could complicate matters) but usually we are available to anyone anywhere in the world with a phone and an...

Just an eTA, which is good news.

I've never written one, but my understanding is that you state his name and that he is coming to visit you for a given length of time (give dates). And then you say you'll help (or completely) support their stay. That kind of thing.

To be eligible for the open work permit, you need to have applied to sponsor him. A work permit transitioning from the visitor visa would require a job offer. As long as you submit the sponsorship application before or at the same time as the work permit application, he doesn't need to leave...

So, the easier thing is for him to apply for a work permit at the time of the sponsorship. If he can get a visitor visa, come to Canada, and marry you in Canada, you can sponsor him "inland" (meaning he, the sponsored spouse, is physically in Canada). At the time you submit the application, he...

You can marry him in Canada. The exact process (and cost) varies slightly from province to province. Once you are married, you can submit a sponsorship application. The pregnancy will help with the sponsorship application.

Unfortunately your very question is one that I cannot answer (I don't have the knowledge or qualification) and I'd recommend a consultation with one of our consultants ($150+HST). I understand you don't want to spend the money, but figuring out your options might be better than struggling...

Your friend should complete a Case Specific Enquiry here: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

We have lots of articles and pages on this subject: https://www.immigroup.com/family-class-sponsorship-canada https://www.immigroup.com/news/what-does-spousal-sponsorship-appeal-submission-look https://www.immigroup.com/news/when-do-overseas-vs-inland-spousal-sponsorship-application...

I think it's pretty standard but you can always submit a Case Specific Enquiry to the office processing your application to see if you can get an update.

Inland or Outland? The stated processing time is a goal, unfortunately, and sometimes these things take longer than they are supposed to. There may be some information as to times here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/spousal-sponsorship-inland-2017.473429/...

Unfortunately he needs legal status in the country he is residing in if he is to apply for PR. So he needs to leave the US and return home. They also need to marry (I believe it's okay to marry in the US without status, but that's not a question I know for sure). Only then she can include him in...

Hi, This is an immigration forum, not a legal forum, so we can't give you any advice about divorcing someone. However, my personal understanding is that if you do not live with someone for a year you can pursue a divorce in Canada without that other person being present. I would suggest finding...
