Brit looking to move back the UK from Canada with his EU wife
Hi,
I'm looking to return to the UK. My situation can't be unique, but I am really struggling to find information relevant to me. I'm British and married my EU spouse in 2013. She arrived in the UK in 2002, firstly as an undergraduate student, then from 2006 as a post graduate student, and then worked in the UK from 2010 until 2015 when we were both offered jobs in Canada. We were married in 2013 and have both been living in Canada since 2015. We now have a Canadian daughter, but are planning on getting her a UK passport. Neither of us were living in the UK or EU through the Brexit process, but would now like to move back to the UK to be closer to my family. All of the information that we can find is either for people living in the UK or the EU, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Kind regards, Ben |

Does your wife have a National Insurance number?

Yes, and we have both filed UK tax returns every year we have lived in Canada as we rented out our home while we have been away (accidental landlords!)
So wife was living in UK on spouse visa/work visa ? |

No, no visa necessary. She is an EU national. The issue is that all of the Brexit related allowances seem to require that you are resident in the EU at the moment, which we are not.
