I´m a Canadian who has been living in Australia since I was a child and I´m in the final stages of completing my application to sponsor my Australian wife so that we can both move to Canada.
My question is about No.20 in the ´Sponsor´ Document Checklist-:
´If you are a Canadian living exclusively outside Canada, you must provide proof that you intend to live in Canada with your spouse once they become PR of Canada´. For eg-
- letter from an employer
- letter of acceptance to a Canadian educational institution
- proof of having rented/bought a dwelling in Canada
- reasonable plans for re-establishing in Canada or severing ties
to the other country.
Apart from showing proof that my wife and I have been living together for the last nine years in Australia, I don´t see how I can actually prove that we intend to continue doing so once we live in Canada. Has anybody got any suggestions???
I have looked into doing a two week course when I get there and have also found out via email to some Canadian (around Vancouver area)businesses that my trade qualifications will get me a job. But since the Canadian Immigraton website states that sponsorship could take anywhere from 3-8 months, I cannot apply for either a course OR a job until I know specific dates of when my wife and I can move there, therefore not being able to provide any proof!
Has anyone got any suggestions or experience with this part of the sponsorship process???
Thankyou....

As they say, why don´t you give them a letter from your current employer saying they recognise that you´re moving back to Canada? You could also provide a letter from your family saying they´ll support your return to Canada. Think of it this way: with the information you´ve provided, it does kind of sound like you´re going over to see what it´s like. What´s to stop you returning to Australia? That´s why they want you to be explicit, so they don´t grant her PR only to have her leave Canada (job market is tough here, after all, and many people including Canadians leave). Could you find a house to buy or rent? Could she look into doing a course here? (Would DEFINITELY help her job prospects). Etc., etc.
