You can finally say "I do" to Canada with the spousal sponsorship application! Once approved, your significant other will be granted permanent residency in Canada, which means you can start planning your future together. If your partner is living abroad at the time of the application, they'll receive a Canada Spouse Visa (Confirmation of Permanent Residence), which is like a golden ticket to move to Canada. Just be sure to pack a warm coat, because winter is coming.
Spouse-sponsoring while globe-trotting? Sorry, Charlie! If you're a Canadian permanent resident gallivanting outside Canada, you can't bring your partner to the Great White North. Only permanent residents living in Canada can sponsor a spouse. But hey, if you're a Canadian citizen trotting the globe, you're in luck! You can still sponsor your partner, but you gotta promise to make Canada your new home once your partner becomes a resident
Looking to work in Canada while waiting for your spousal sponsorship application to be approved? Good news! You can apply for an Open Work Permit along with your immigration application, or even online. That's right, multi-tasking at its finest. With a Canadian Open Work Permit, you can legally work in Canada while your application is being processed. Just don't start spending that paycheck until you actually receive it, okay? And while there's no guarantee that your application will be approved, the good news is that Open Work Permit approvals are pretty common, making it one of the best perks of applying for spousal sponsorship from within Canada. So, roll up your sleeves and get ready to work, because your dream of living in Canada is within reach!
Leaving Canada while waiting for your spouse's permanent residence application is like a game of chance. If you leave Canada while the application is still pending, there's no guarantee that you'll be allowed back in. However, if you get your application approved, you'll enjoy all the perks of being a Canadian resident. So, weigh the pros and cons before making a decision and buckle up for the immigration rollercoaster ride!
