can PR applicant assist a family member in their business?
I have a busines that does interior renovations. My fiancee does related
work in the U.S. He is a U.S. citizen. I do not earn a lot of work in this
business but with his help could increase my intake considerably.
We're trying to decide the best way to go about things. Whether he should
just visit here and then come here when he's got his savings in order and
the money for PR application, whether to get married right away and start PR
process, whether to get married and he goes back to the states and starts PR
while he works. It looks like we'd be unable to see each other (unless I
went down there which is not a good idea for reasons of family and
accommodations) during his PR wait.
He's not bringing any dependants and is a skilled tradesman immigrating to
an area of high out-migration and which needs skilled tradesmen in the
construction industry.
We are wondering if there is a loophole available to us here.
Can I take contracts with my business that involve his speciality and have
him "help his wife" at work yet I get paid and I pay expenses and "support"
him and him live here pending PR? Would that contravene regulations? I do
walls, he does floors.
How would he be able to come here and then apply for PR from here?
A friend of mine also met a mate online, his love came up from Brazil to see
him and never left. They got married that month and 8mos later she had her
PR visa. he had to support her and she had savings to help with the
expenses.
My fiancee can put together the money for self support but it would prolong
our wait to be together. Additionally it would be nice to be able to use
that money for investing in our future instead.
I reviewed the points system and he would most likely have enough points to
qualify from what I can see so we're not extremely worried about his success
at the PR application.
I will not consider moving to the U.S. and he doesn't really want to remain
there anyway.
Also, he could easily get enough work via U.S. contracts on short term out
of town stints while living here, would he be allowed to do that while
waiting for permanent resident visa?
That is, move here and base his residence here as my husband yet fly out to
seattle, or alaska, or oregon, etc, taking contracts in assorted commercial
construction projects as he currently often does from Washington State?
You'd think Canada would love that, him earning in the U.S. but spending
here. Can he?
