I am a Filipino citizen, Canadian Permanent resident as of Dec. 15 2010. I live in a beautiful Mohawk Territory, the Tyendinaga in Ontario Canada.
This blog mainly tackles life in Canada, the adjustments ,the new things, the culture, and everything that I love writing about. Since it was quite a process for me to get here, I will also share some tips or information I know about Canadian spousal immigration.
Thank you and Welcome to my blog.

hi Nel. I recently got married here i Canada. I am a permanent resident and I want to sponsor my wife who is here on a working visa. We plan to have ahurch wedding in the Philippines around April next year. Which is the better option for us, sposor "inside" or "outside" Canada? thank you.
ReplyDeleteHello! I think it's better for you to sponsor her inside Canada and I guess that's the only way for now since you are both here in Canada. To sponsor somebody outside Canada that somebody should be outside Canada. The question is how long does your wife's working visa valid. because to sponsor a spouse in the philipines takes 3-6 months according to people I know and my case then was 6 months but then you know the embassy would say its 1 year, ther eare just veryyyy few cases that it will a year. The only drawback when you someone inside Canada , I read from forums and hearsays, that they prioritize spouses or families who are far from each other. Try to check Canadian Immigration website I am positive that it wont be too long I guess if you chose to sponsor inside. If I were you since you are already married why not work on sponsoring now so your church wedding in the Philippine next year will be all party, no hassle no stress from the process.Congratulations! Good luck on your application. Feel free to ask if you have more questions
