Subject: Does my wife need return ticket to Jakarta?
  I am a Canadian citizen currently working in Jakarta and my wife is Indonesian. I am moving back to Canada and she is coming on a 6-month temporary visitor visa to Canada.

My question is, will she have to show a return ticket from Canada back to Jakarta when we leave from Jakarta? Will she be prevented from boarding the plane in Jakarta or refused entry to Canada even with the visitor visa but no return ticket?

So lets see what DocD says, hmmmmmm

Lady shows up at the airport and is asked!

"Your purpose for coming to Canada today is?"

My husband is Canadian and I have come to live with him because he has moved back to Canada.

NEXT QUESTION

How long do you intend to live with your husband?

"As long as it takes to get status in Canada".

The airline will not let her board the plane, because when she is refused of entry, they will be held responsable.

If the airline doesn´t take any responsability, CBSA will pay for her deportation and fine the airline.

But in case she boards the plane, this is what the scenario will look like:

Next question...

Lady, please go to that room over there (secondary inspection)

In Secondary:

Officer:
May I see your return ticket please?

Lady,
I don´t have one.

Officer:
Please sit there, I will be right back.
Officer leaves and starts filling some paper work)

Officer comes back in awhile:
I regret to inform you that I have to refuse your entry into Canada based on the fact that you don´t appear to be elegible to enter Canada as a turist.

Then she will be put in detention while the airline gets all the paperwork together.

Her visa will be cancelled and she will be put back in the next available flight.

What it sucks though is that if the next available flight is 3 days later, she will be transfered to the closest detention centre until then.

Don´t do it. It is a bad idea.
