Topic: US H-1b to canadian PR; spouse already PR
Posted by smsmsm (10) 01 Jan 2008
Hello folks,

I am looking to apply for a canadian PR being in US on the H-1b. My spouse is already a canadian PR, but I am preparing my own application as a federal skilled worker. My spouse is currently visiting me in US

My query is, does my spouse have to fill "Background/Declaration", "Additional Family Information", etc. forms all over again? Do we need to provide her 'work experience' as well ... its part-time work in Tim Hortons and call-center?

Thanks much.

if ur wife already has a PR, why dont u talk to Canadia immigration and see the possibility of applying as her dependant than filing a new application.. i donno where such thing exists , but call them and ask what to do

That is not the case with us, as my spouse is not working, & staying with me in US. We cannot prove me to be my spouse's dependent.

BTW, are canadian immigration helpful in such cases .... as you say 'call them and ask'?

I thought your spouse lives in Canada when you mentioned ' Visiting you in US " . Even if she is not there in Canada , Nothing wrong in asking them about whether a PR person can sponsor someone as dependant.

Else also you could ask them about your original question. I would do that and i hope they are helpful. I communicated ( mail )with LA office cpl of times and their response was good , so far.
