Inland Spousal Problems
You two are deeply in LOVE! The Canadian asks you to marry them and agrees to sponsor you into Canada as soon as you wed. The onus is for you two to convince an Immigration Officer that your marriage is genuine and continuing. You two are deeply in love so why do you need assistance from an Immigration Counsel? What could go wrong?
How does one prove that they are in a genuine relationship? Inland Spousal Sponsorship applications are not appealable to the (IAD) Immigration Appeal Division if you two get refused.
What if the applicant has a child from a previous relationship that he/she wants to include in the application? Children are a joy especially when they are young. If you sponsor his kids, you are responsible for 10 years. If you decide not to include his children how will your relationship handle the situation? You could tell them to sponsor their own kids once they obtain permanent residency and are liable for support of 3 years.
Spousal applicants who have a child in Canada or abroad are required to obtain a notarized (IMM 5604) which consents the other biological parent to agree to allow their child to immigrate to Canada.
What if the biological parent refuses to sign (IMM 5604) What if the foreign parent files for sole custody in their country? What if the foreign parent says you kidnapped your children and the immigration officer insinuates that you may be inadmissible to Canada because removing kids without consent is in violation of IRPR
36 (1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of serious criminality for (c) committing an act outside Canada that is an offence in the place where it was committed and that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years.
A QUALITY Immigration Counsel will need to convince the Officer that travelling to Canada with children without consent of the other biological parent is not a crime in their country!
Teenagers can cause serious issues. What if that sweet sixteen, grade A student turns out to be constantly skipping school and running with a bad crowd? The parent you’re sponsoring does not seem to discipline his children the way you think they should. Their kids are totally disrespectful of you who is trying to give them a better life.
One seventeen-year-old boy drove the Stepmother to the point that she had him sent back home without his PR card to his Grandparents until he could learn how to behave properly. On his birthday his father sent him some money for his birthday. He went to the Canadian Embassy and got a single-entry visa to return to Canada and immediately went on welfare. That makes the sponsor responsible for all payments until he decides to come off welfare and taking the free money! It has been five years on welfare so far.
LBGQ+ applications who made a successful asylum claim that they are homosexuals or lesbians and then marrying a person of the opposite sex and now claiming the sponsor is bisexual.
A QUALITY Immigration Counsel will need to convince the Officer that the couple are in fact in a genuine relationship and in their country, there is no difference between Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual status.
