Hi,
I have an urgent question regarding moving back to Canada with my wife.
I received my PR card 2.5 years ago and lived since then in my native country due to family reasons. I´ve got married 3 months ago and she doesn´t have any visa to Canada.
Now I´ve got job offer in canadian organization and want to move back.
1. It seems like it´s not even possible for my wife to get temporary visitor visa to accompany me. In the local embassy they told us that since she is a wife of PR she can not prove that she´ll be back in her country after visa expires.
Please advise, is it really true that she can´t get her temporary visa in our situation?
2. Ok. No temporary visa then... How soon can I apply for sponsorship after moving back to Canada? I have job offer on my hands with really good salary, however since I was outside of the country for 2.5 years I don´t have T4 form and probably can not get Option C too.. Will it be enough to provide job offer (or employment contract) to support my financial situation and to start sponsorship for my wife?
Thanks a lot!
Waiting for your advise, I really need your help.

Income is not an issue when sponsoring a spouse but residency is when your not a Citizen and only a Permanent Resident.
You need to get back take up your position & residency then sponsor your wife. Average processing time six months but could be less depending on your Visa Post Dimitry.

Roy, thanks for fast reply.
About residency. What exactly does it mean? Should I live in Canada for some time prior to mailing sponsorship application to Mississauga? What period of time should it be?
Lets consider the following situation... I´m returning to Canada, start working at my new Canadian job, rent an appartment, then how long should I wait before I can send an sponsorship application?
Is there any way for my wife to accompany me this time?
Thanks!

Can anyone advise on the first question? It´s not directly related to immigration or sponsorship however it´s still extremely important

on question #1 - the odds are not good as CIC will assume she has no intention of returning home at the end of her visit.
I would plan to get to Canada, and sponsor her as outland as soon as you are able but be prepared to live apart for a few months. I don´t see it happening any other way.

Sharon, thanks for your reply.
I agree that the second way is better and probably simplier. However the idea of being separated for next 7-10 months well...
What documents supporting my wife´s visitor´s visa application could help in this situation and convince the visa section officer that she´s going to return home at the end of her visa? For example will it be good enough to provide a letter from me that explains that I´m going to have a business trip to Canada with my current employer and she is going to accompany me. The business trip is only for 3-4 months (by documents). Also I have home mortgage for next 15 years in my native country...
Is it sufficient? What else could we provide to support the case? Letter from my wife´s university that she is in the middle of post-graduation program?
My thought was to came Canada together and then apply for sponsorship from within.
Thanks

if you are not residing in Canada, you cannot sponsor her. If you are going to lie so you can bring her into Canada as a visitor you risk big problems with your own status. Your plan gets more foolish by the minute.
7-10 months will not kill you. Go for a visit at the half way point.
