Hi,
As some of you might know, living away from your spouse is hard for both the husband and the wife. I have started the sponsorship few months ago and so far nothing has come up and out of desperation my wife and I were thinking of a way to be together sooner. This idea has few risks and unknowns and I honestly do not know the possible "side-effects" at this time. My wife has a US visa and she can go there any time and from there she can visit my brother in Detroit and then both can drive to Canada. Now let's take the first possible outcome and assume that she gets in without being asked to show a visa (a situation that I was told is the most likely scenario). At this point we will be together and when her visa is issued back home we can ask family over there to express mail her landing paper to us and then we just drive through the border, make a u-turn and go back to Canada where she will land. I assume that what I just wrote is hypothetically do-able. Are there any problems? Another possible outcome of this is for her to be stopped at the border and asked for a visa to Canada and in that case they will return her back to the US. The question here is whether this will affect her on-going application process backhome. Would anyone take her name down or her passport number and report her? Would this have any impact at all? I know that Mr. Andrew and Mr. Cohen and other immigration specialists will advice me not to do it and I know that NOT DOING IT is the proper answer and I expect that, but I am so desperate and willing to take such risk at this time if I know that the failure of this plan will have no effects on my spouse sponsorship application. Thanks |
Hi:
There is nothing preventing your wife from applying for a visitor visa to enter Canada. If your wife is from a country that does not require visitor visas to enter Canada, she can try to enter at the port of entry. This should not have any impact on her spousal sponsorship application (unless she is caught misrepresenting herself). However, visitor's by definition must have the intention of entering Canada only temporarily. Your wife will have to onus of satisfying a visa officer that she only intends on entering Canada temporarily. This is very difficult to do while she has a pending application for Canadian permanent residency. In the alternative, your wife could ask for a Minister's permit to enter Canada on the basis of humanitarian and compassionate grounds. However, Minister's permits are very difficult to acquire, and often conditions are placed that the spouse must exit Canada within a specified time period. Yours truly, Ingrid Y.
