Hi Everyone,

Here is my question. I am a new in Quebec immigrant (It's been 6
months I have got my papers and I have been working for the last 6
months).

Me and my girl friend (she is not living in Canada), we are thinking
of getting married here and I will be sponsoring her. I will be glad
if someone can give me an answer or idea about the following;

1. What kinds of rights will my girlfriend have once we get married?
(Like work permit, study in the university without paying
international student fees, health insurance etc...)

2. How long does the process take in average? To get the papers I
mean.

3. She will come here with visitor visa so we can get married. Is she
allowed to stay after we get married until the paperwork is done, or
does she have to leave the country once her visitor visa expires?

I am asking these because if she will not have any rights at all she
will go back and continue her studies and come back once she has those
rights. She is in the middle of her masters degree and she has good
job and She doesn't want to come here and just stay at home for months
just to wait for papers.

Anyway, thanks for the people who post here. I think you guys are
doing a great job.

Andrew Miller

1. None

2. Anywhere from 6 to 18+ months

3. Her application for inland process will only be accepted if her admission
to Canada was not gained through fraud, misrepresentation or omission. So,
if she is coming to marry you and apply from within Canada and won't
disclose it when applying for visitor visa and when entering Canada then she
won't be eligible for inland process and will have to apply through visa
post in her home country.

As you are in Quebec there are additional steps to be taken before applying
for her PR visa - contact Quebec immigration or go to their website to find
more.

Dear Mr. Miller;

Thanks for your constant assistance and advise to the group.
Reference is made to the question below and your reply. Concerning
question 1 your reply was no. Does that apply to common-law partner
listed as dependent? Will a dependent be entitled to the same rights
as the main applicant? Thanks! Caracol!

The "None" applied to the specific question - what rights will spouse of a
Canadian PR have after the marriage. Marriage in itself doesn't give any
right, except the right to be sponsored.

Your question is not only about completely different circumstances but also
not clear as you didn't specify what kind of application you are talking
about. If it is a dependent spouse or common-law spouse or partner of
principal applicant for PR visa then once both land as PR they both will
have the same rights as any other Canadian PR.

Your post shows how misinterpretations and rumors start (no offence intended
here) - you have some specific question in your mind and are trying to apply
answer given to completely different question to your own case. Please don't
do it.

Original question was about rights of the spouse after marrying Canadian -
what it has to do with dependent common-law partner listed as dependant in
some kind of application? Your way of thinking really puzzles me...

Thank you Mr. Miller;

Sorry for the lack of precision of my question and the naive
assumption that there could possibly be a relationship between the
rights of a spouse after marrying a Canadian and the rights of a
common-law spouse of a main applicant for PR under the Skilled Worker
Class after landing. I apologise! Your reply was very precise and
fully responded to my doubts even if I was not able to pose it
clearly. Brilliant. Thank you very much again!
