Subject: US H4 visa to canada visa, help!
  I am Canada PR working in US in H1b visa. My wife is in US on H4 visa (spouse of H1b visa).
Since I can NOT sponsor her while I am in the US, What´s the best way to bring her to Canada and then sponsor her Canadian PR?

Is it possible to apply visitor visa for her and apply PR once in Canada?

Will CIC reject her visitor visa due to the fact that her husband is Canada PR, and therefore she is consider to have intent to stay permanently?
Thanks.

Prepare her file (medical, police clearance, marriage certificate, all the forms) go to Canada for a week or so. File her case, go back to US and wait for process to complete :)) Sometime, CIC will call you to check if you have completely relocated to Canada or not, you can tell them you will be winding up everything from USA in a month or so.

You didn´t hear that from me :))

Thanks Moe.
Will CIC check my utility bills and so on to verify I can in Canada?
Most importantly, Since I am a PR not Citizen, I heared I need to have a job IN Canada in order to sponsor my spouse.
How do I get around that?

Totally illegal.

PRs MUST be living and working in Canada in order to sponsor a spouse.

Moe, You are trying to tell the guy to use a backdoor... but there are problems with that... Do you think CIC is filled with silly people who do not know all these techniques...

They get hundreds of applications everyday man... dont try to take a shortcut. Often if can create a problem. BEtter go thru a legal way and it will be good for you...

By any chance, you can´t get a job in Canada? You are one them fellas who want to have their cake and eat too... More cash in the US, more long-term chance in Canada. May have to sacrifice one or the other... So many ludicrous ppl if ya ask me. I hate to see Canada become a surrogate to all these lowly aspirants
