Landed Canadian immigrant not residing in Canada: how to apply for wife

[karimiz]

I became a landed Canadian immigrant in July 2007. After getting my PR i returned to the US for work. I then got married in my home country (Pakistan) in Dec 2007 and i am currently in US.

All this time i forgot to update CIC that i got married. Now i and my wife are planning to settle in Canada. My questions are:

1. Is there a problem for for one year i have not updated my maritial status.

2. How can i update the status while in the USA?

3. What is the best way of applying my wife's immigration. Can i do it while sitting in the USA OR do i need to apply for her Canadaian visit visa then go there and apply from Canada?

i have one more question..... i have PR...and if i apply for a visit visa for my wife, what should i answer to the following quwstion:

" Have you or any member of your family ever Applied for any Canadian Immigration visas (e.g. Permanent Resident, Student, Worker, Temporary Resident (visitor), Temporary Resident Permit)?"

being a spouse of a permanent resident of Canada, should we answer Yes or No to this question and Will there be any future implications if we answer No, etc.

thanks!!

I am in the exact same situation as you... tried applying for visit visa for my wife...but that got rejected .

Did you apply PR for your wife in Canada... can you please let me know the process.

Thanks.

This is disgraceful, Laeeque Ahmed needs to be stripped of his license.
Not only is this disgraceful, its troubling for new comers to this country too. We leave our countries because of the corruption and fall in the hands of agents like Laeeque Ahmed.
