Can I sponsor immediately after getting married?
Greetings:
I received my PR and should be landing in Canada from the US towards the end of March. I then plan to travel to India to get married to my fiance on May 15. My question is, will I be immediately able to sponsor her to bring her to Canada? I have over $50,000 in my bank account and should not have any problem supporting her till either of us find employment. Thanks. Dave |
Re: Can I sponsor immediately after getting married?
It is not about how much money you have in the bank. It is all about living
permanently in Canada and being able to prove it. You will have extreme difficulties doing so within such short period of time from landing, without established residence and without job in Canada. -- ../..

What is someone doesnt plan to work and is a high-net worth individual.
How long is enuf to show that he/she has established residence ? And how do you establish that anyway, other than renting or buying property.

Re: Can I sponsor immediately after getting married?
Someone's net worth is irrelevant - it is residing permanently in Canada
what is required and must be documented. Someone who just landed and shortly after left has not established residence in Canada at all, so he cannot sponsor anyone. Why it is so hard to understand? Renting or owning residence is not enough if one doesn't live in Canada. In order to prove that one lives here other evidence must be presented - utility bills, credit and debit cards statement, record of employment or operating business or attending school, tax returns and tax assessment as well as Option C printout that must be obtained from Revenue Canada after last year tax return has been assessed, etc. - one must prove beyond doubt that s/he lives in Canada. Staying here even for a month or so after landing without establishing permanent residence and without really starting living in Canada will not fly. Unfortunately there are many H1 and other US visa holders who wish to continue to live in US but apply for and obtain Canadian PR status for the sole purpose of sponsoring family members to Canada and due to that CIC is becoming very strict in requiring solid proof of sponsor actually residing permanently in Canada. -- ../..

Re: Can I sponsor immediately after getting married?
With due respect to the 'elites', the lawyers will give you the
absolute law statement, especially in a public forum. However, if you explore 'other' avenues, surely there are ways to do such things; it is not that hard. Good Luck.

Dear "Flyer"

Every person who knowingly counsels, induces, aids or abets or attempts to counsel, induce, aid or abet any person to directly or indirectly misrepresent or withhold material facts relating to a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of this Act is guilty of an offence. 127. No person shall knowingly (a) directly or indirectly misrepresent or withhold material facts relating to a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of this Act; (b) communicate, directly or indirectly, by any means, false or misleading information or declarations with intent to induce or deter immigration to Canada; or (c) refuse to be sworn or to affirm or declare, as the case may be, or to answer a question put to the person at an examination or at a proceeding held under this Act. Penalties 128. A person who contravenes a provision of section 126 or 127 is guilty of an offence and liable (a) on conviction on indictment, to a fine of not more than $100,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years, or to both; or (b) on summary conviction, to a fine of not more than $50,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than two years, or to both. ___________________________________________ Have a great time. -- ../..

I am sorry to say that I personally know several people who run this scam. Here is how it works: Person in US (usually on H-1/L-1 as you said) obtains Canadian PR. Completes landing, transfers some money into Canada. Rents a cheap apartment, utilities, etc. Obtains a debit or secured credit card (no need to establish credit). Pays rent, utilities, etc. and keeps bills as proofs. Ocassionally visits Canada over the weekends or long weekends. After accumulating a volume of such "documents", then sponsors spouse/kids/parents/whatever. It is indeed sad how this scheme has been devised and actually works. The scores of others who actually followed the due process and did it the "right" way are left feeling like fools. My opinion, of course. |

All bills, etc. are paid in CAD via a Canadian bank account. Also Canadian taxes are filed because the person can have pretty decent interest earnings thru online banks like ING. After working for 5+ years in the US in a high-tech job, a lot of people are in a position to invest $50,000 + USD in Canada. Like PMM, I was also under the impression that it would be pretty hard to do without rock-solid proof that one is actually living in Canada. But recently, I have come across more than 1 person who not only attempted this, but also succeeded ! Even if 25% or less people succeed with this deception, it is a substantial number. |
