Hi everyone,I would be grateful for some input on our situation.
My Polish wife and I (Canadian) were married this summer. Now she is in Poland working, I in Canada. I am just waiting to receive her documents to apply for sponsoring her as my wife. However we are a bit concerned about the possible processing time of likely 9 months or more. We are starting to consider a different approach (the more shady one) of trying for her to get another visa to visit canada (maybe a multiple entry) and apply for her permanent residence when she gets here (possibly February).
The postives are: we are together...the negatives: she isn't able to leave Canada (until she gets her PR), I don't think she can work here legally until she gets the PR. Also the big problem is that maybe she can't even get a visitors visa again because she has to say she is married to a Canadian and immigration canada will think (rightfully) that she is coming to stay....like it's such a horrible thing for Canada.
Could anyone out there give some advice on the situation of applying with a spouse outside Canada or within. And any positive/negative immigration sides to it. I really can not find any information about the situation for applying from within canada and what to expect. Any links would also be welcome.
Many thanks in advance
