Spouce Sponsorship from USA

08-13-2004, 04:38 PM

To All Experts,

I'm in USA on H-1B visa and my spouse on H-4B visa. I"m also a
Canadian Green Card holder. I became canadian permanent resident in
August of 2002. Since then I have been staying in U.S.

I have the maple leaf card here with me.

In Aug, 2003 I tried to get my spouse a visitor visa but they denied
it saying that she is not a legitimate visitor and will only let her
into Canada when I apply for her sponsorship. Which I did from U.S.
But they refused it saying that I'm not eligible to sponsor her from
outside the canada.

Is there any way that my spouse can accompany me to canada on a
temporary visa and I will file her sponsorship papers right away. I
don't want to leave my spouse alone in U.S.

Is there any way we can appeal to the Canadian Counselate that I want
to come back to canada with my spouse for good. I can show them that I
can financially support her.

Thanks,

No, there is no way you can get your spouse to Canada without you first
moving here for good, establishing your residency here, getting a job, etc.
and then sponsoring her. You may try to get another visitor visa for her,
but it is highly unlikely that you'll get it. As you see using Canada as a
second choice has it's disadvantages.
