You know you can live in Canada as long as papers are being processed. In 2005, the Prime Minister made it legal.

I was under the understanding that one could be in Canada as a tourist but not work during the visa processing. Is this correct or is there a provision to allow for people to work? I understand that 10 months is hard too, it is incredibly hard for me because I live just three hours from my spouse and we see each other every two weeks and every time it gets harder to say goodbye. I mean I love that we get to see eachother alot, but still, it's difficult.

as far as i understand, you have to wait to be able to work legally in Canada. If you do not have a pr card can't work right? And my husband had to wait in his own country until he was accepted by the embassy in Paris before he was even able to visit Canada. They denied him a visitor visa because of so many people coming over on a visa and staying illegally in the country. Was very hard but so worth it now :)

you right... No spouses should have to wait that long. They should be given a temp. visa and allow them to stay here with the spouse till the time of interview. It's not like Canada has to pay anything for them while they are staying here and while their papers are being process. We have to do anything for them when they come here and we took that oath. In all I say, Canada doesn't re-unite families, but separates them. Shame on Canada. It's nice to have dual citizen passports. I have been waiting for my wife since Jan 2007. Gave them my court and church marriage certificates and all documents they wanted. Wife is on the interview list since May 21 2007 with no updates and they won't even asnwer question when asked.

I kind of agree with every post on this thread and if I consider my case and what I have experienced so far, I see the reason why people say that canada doesn't care about reuniting families but only lies about it. I sponsored my husband but after waiting for about 2 years to hear from the office, the news I got is that my marriage is not genuine. They said he married me because he wants to come over to Canada. This tells me that this people are heartless brutes especially when it concerns those from the developing countries. I have a child with my husband who will be turning 6 by end of this month and the immigration officer did not even consider that a child is involved but had the audacity to pronounce my marriage as that of convinience. Letters from my church, MP etc did not convince the arrogant officer enough to approve the file. What a shame!. Maybe he would have been more convinced if I had decided to part ways with my husband whom I decided to marry despite all odds and hook up with someone new. The last time I saw my husband was 2 years ago when I was able to travel to where he is. They refused him visa to visit which would be cheaper than my and my daughter paying to travel back there. It is so sad. My child had only seem him once in her entire life and when she looks around and see other kids and what they do with thier dad around them, she ask me questions that makes me break down and sob for how my life have been turned around. I appealed the decision sometime in Sept 07 and still waiting to hear from them although they told me it takes 3 months for them to receive documents requested from the embassy that handled our file. The only thing I see with this system is that they penalize people for telling the truth and glorify liars.
