Subject: bringing boyfriend to Canada
  My bf lives in Europe, and I would love for him to come live in Canada with me and so would he. However, I´m currently a university student and cannot sponsor him (even if we got married) since I am not working full time. He would also not be able to apply as a skilled worker because of his young age (22) and lack of experiece at work. He also hasn´t completed university yet. Coming here to with a study permit would be impossible to afford. I´ve looked things over and over and can´t find a way out. Anyone have any knowledge or ideas please let me know... Thanx!

INCOME IS NOT AN ISSUE WHEN SPONSORING A SPOUSE OR DEPENDENT CHILD AND I WANT YOU TO READ MY POST OF LAST WEEK I THINK ON PAGE THREE.

I have written many times about couples who just want to beat the system and can?t stand being apart. I have written numerous times that it is far faster to submit a spousal application outside of Canada instead of an Inland Application.

I saw a very VERY sad couple today at Terminal Three that tore my heart apart.

When a person arrives at any POE and say they are a visitor they are asked basic questions like who you are going to visit, where you?re going to stay, when do you plan to depart, etc. etc.

A VISITOR IS A PERSON SEEKING ADMISSION FOR A TEMPORARY PERIOD OF TIME!!!

The pretty lady told CBSA/Immigration she was coming to visit her fiance and they are planning to submit an Inland Spousal Application for PR when they get married next week.

The officer said "OH REALLY" and issued her an exclusion order and directed her back to the country she came from. In the reception area where I was with my client they have a glass type partition with a slot to hand papers back and forth and they were touching fingers and crying. He was every so often saying things that no one should write here.

He had bought her ticket to Canada and now will need to buy himself a ticket to her country to say the four most scariest words known to any man. Will you marry me? Then he will have to pay an additional $400.00 and seek consent of the Minister to return within the year or wait....
Now she has misrepresented herself so will they believe her application next time?????

Sharon is almost 100% right regarding doing spousal sponsorships yourself. Please understand that men are from Mars and women are from Venus and sometimes we say the most STUPID things when in love. Stupid comments can sink your future plans or we have a piece of paper why do we have to prove we love each other?

All Authorized Consultants are not allowed to post testimonials on their web sites or adverts. Therefore I can not do that but Sharon will tell you probably that I got blasted for saying I would let potential clients speak to former clients. Understan I?m trying to help here because of some people posting Bad Advice ONLY.

No Lawyer has to take any Immigration Law subjects while in Law School and most Legal Counsel learn by their mistakes or their staff?s mistakes who normally do the work unsupervised.

WHAT EVER YOU DO RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH THEN LET SOMEONE ELSE READ YOUR REASON WHY YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS GENUINE. If you so decide to hire a person who is authorized check him/her out and ask what their experience is in tha particular area you have the problem.

IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD IT PROBALY IS.

REMEBER ONE THING THAT THE IMMIGRATION OFFICER ASSESSING YOUR MARRAIGE APPLICATION IS PROBABLY MARRIED AND HE/SHE WILL NOT BELIEVE YOUR PARTNER WALKS ON WATER.

Roy who did not sleep all last night and WHO is going to bed. RESEARCH PEOPLE AND GOOD LUCK!!!

Roy

(in reply to: TO ALL POTENTIAL MARRIAGE COUPLES)thanks for the good words of advice. We sometimes forget that we are mixing emotions and law when it comes to family class immigration.

I found Roy online in the middle of the night yesterday. How do I know? I was awake all night too. LOL. Such a sad state of reality :)

247.105 - not sure who you are talking to about the job thing. I visit another forum where there is a large contingent of family class sponsorship. I submit that every last one is working within weeks of being allowed to do so - regardless of home country.

who do you believe- a news reporter who found someone like you that likes to whine, or real people.

I don´t understand when you say you don´t need income to sponsor someone... I have read and reread the aplication forms and guuides on [http://www.cic.gc.ca] and they say that my application as a sponsor has to be accepted first, before going on to the application of the person being sponsored.
Family reunion also requires sponsorship.

There is no income ´requirement´ in the spousal class, but at the same time, you can not be in receipt of social assistance.. that would make you ineligible to sponsor.

Hi Lisa
It´s because of section 133 of the Act or Regulations, I think...CIC call center agents explained it to me but I forget the exact place. Basically, when you sponsor your spouse, they assume that both of you will be self-supporting, as opposed to sponsoring dependant family members such as infants or aging and elderly parents.

I hope this clarifies.

Also, Nice advice, Roy. Appreciate the tips. Keep em coming, eh?!

Ciao.
