Hello,
I am looking into sponsoring my husband to come to Canada. I was born in Canada. My husband is a failed refugee claimant. We met 2 years before he was asked to leave Canada. He had arrived with his family as a teenager and they filled a few cases during there 9 years in Canada. They were asked to leave and we got married 2 weeks before they left.
I stayed in Canada for 10 months alone after he left to finish school.
After the 10 months of separation, I went to his country for 6 months on a tourist visa to learn Spanish.
After the 6 months in his country on the tourist visa, I came back to Canada for 3 months to work and see my family.
After spending the 3 months in Canada I returned to HIS, (MY HUSBANDS) country on a TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISA for 1 strait year. ( I was approved for PERMANENT RESIDENT there after the year)
At the end of the year, I returned to Canada for 3 months to work again and visit family. ( you are allowed to leave and return when on PERMANENT RESIDENT in his country)
After spending the 3 months with family in Canada, I came back to my husbands country.
After I returned this time from Canada, since my husband and I had only a civil marriage in Canada before he left, we planned our wedding in the church. About 15 guests from Canada were able to make it. Including my 3 sisters, father and a few aunts and friends.
Now that we had our wedding here last month, my family has asked if there is anyway we could move back to Canada. I was advised before we were married this was not possible because of his previous situation, being a failed refugee claim. I did some Google searches and found this website, and the CIC website also. So it seems it is possible, but I could not find information on one main question :)
My first question
* When you apply from outside Canada , it says you may apply to sponsor your spouse if you are a citizen living exclusively outside Canada.
I was wondering how long I would have to wait until I am considered "living exclusively outside Canada"?
( It has been 4 months since the last time I went back to Canada, the time before the wedding for the 3 months that I worked and visited family)
* Is there any chance that the application may be denied? Is there any precautions I could make so that will not happen?
Looking forward to reading your answers,
your hopefully friend,
Sarah

I will keep short and sweet.
I assume that he is the typical person from a Central American country that came as a minor to Canada, then his parents applied as a refugee and their application was denied and the whole family was deported.
If that is the case take a look at this:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/inadmissibility/arc.asp#tphp idtphp
Now,
1- As a Canadian citizen you can sponsor your husband from outside of Canada and you can be with him in his home country during the process. You have to prove that IF the application is approved, you have plans to settle in Canada. The fact that you travel between Canada and his home country doesn´t impact your application.
2- Both of you are going to have to prove that your relationship is genuine. Based on his previous situation, likely he is going to be under the microscope while the application is processed. Again, it is up to both of you to prove that the relations is genuine!
3- Read the link I sent you.

Come on DocD!!!!
Quote "The fact that you travel between Canada and his home country doesn´t impact your application". UnQuote
Why would the fact that they are spending a very considerable amount of time not be a factor to show that they are in a genuine marriage?
Being able and willing to spend so much time together will hurt his chances of getting an ARC. If she has no career and can go live with him (DO SO)!
If (IF) he was a minor when the parents made a refugee claim NO ARC IS REQUIRED! He can not be held accountable for the actions of his parents when he was a minor.
Bring him home girl!

Roy,
I never said he needs an ARC. I said "read the link". Proving the relationship is the key here. Going back and forth really proves nothing in either positive or negative way, there is got to be more evidence along with that.
That statement alone is "hollow".
Sarah,
Read the link and become familiar with the operation manuals, it will tell you the way how CIC will look at the application.
If he came as a minor and there is no criminal activity in any country, you are going to have A LOT of weight in proving that the relationship is genuine. Other than that it should be a smooth ride.
If you find the application hard to read or understand, do not guess, get a certified immigration consultant to help you out. It is going to be worth it at the end.

Quality, experienced advice with references freely provided is priceless. Timed saved hiring quality advice when it comes to Immigration issues is priceless.
****I wonder who you are by using the term certified, hmmm some brand new consultant trying to find out others fee structures.
Being certified by a Society does not ensure quality representation. Being in a huge firm does not ensure quality representation.
The real issue instead of (HOW MUCH) money is it worth should be do you want to ensure things with your partners application goes as smoothly as possible?
Is he/she worth the expense?
Is sleeping together under the same roof sooner than later worth it?
Is it worth risking a rejection and time spent (several months) filing an appeal?
Always do your research, do not be fooled by a fancy car, nice suit, impressive office or great web site.
Google their name and if it comes up "Help needed in filing law suit against _______! or "Need to sue __________ services in (Canadian City). Read the manuals and understand the differeneces in their Membership numbers.
Continue doing your research.
Remember a couple unusual answers or wrong answwers can cause a huge amount of trouble. Everything we do with our senses we interpret. Listen to the question carefully and answer truthfully.
What CIC means and what you think they mean can be totally different things.
Best of Luck.

Roy,
Thank you again for all the advice. It means the world to me. I am just wondering if there is a specific time that you have to be out of the country to be considered "living exclusively outside Canada"
4 months away from canada living in another country?
5 months away from canada living in another country?
6 months....?
I am just wondering if it is worth getting the ball rolling if it has not even been enough time .... since over the last 2 years I went back to canada and worked...
again it has been 4 months since I have been back....
