How do spouses immigrate to Canada? Specific point

Canada's reunion immigration is an important part of Canada's immigration types, which fully embodies the humanitarian thought of Canada's immigration policy. According to the immigration monitoring report of Canada Immigration Bureau in 2004, the total number of immigrants who passed the reunion in 2004 was 62,246, accounting for 39% of the total number of immigrants in 235,824. Among them, the number of immigrants with spouse reunion is 43,985, accounting for 18% of the total number of immigrants. Among many immigration methods, spouse immigration is the most priority.

Canada's reunion immigrants are mainly divided into: family immigrants.

1, spouse family immigrants

2. Parents and grandparents

3. Raising children, including adopting children.

4./kloc-relatives of unmarried orphans under the age of 0/8 (brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, grandchildren).

1. Application for reunion of spouses, cohabiting spouses and children under 22:

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can apply for spouses and children to reunite in Canada. Spouses and children who live in their original places of residence overseas need to apply for immigrant visas overseas; If the spouse and children are already in Canada, they can apply for permanent residence in Canada. The characteristics of the two methods are briefly described as follows:

1, Characteristics of applying for a spouse or children's immigration visa abroad:

In order to speed up the processing, the applicant needs to submit the guarantee application, physical examination and visa application together when filling out the form, so it is called the three-in-one application method;

Applicants cannot choose a visa office, but can only submit application documents to the Canadian visa office in charge of their residence;

At present, the whole immigration application processing time is about 6 months, and more complicated cases will drag on for a long time, such as 9 months or even more than a year;

The authenticity of the relationship between husband and wife/cohabiting spouse must be proved. If the immigration officer suspects that the marriage/cohabitation relationship between the applicant and the guarantor is to enable the applicant to obtain Canadian status, the immigration application will be rejected;

If the application is rejected, the guarantor may apply to the Court of Appeal for an appeal, and the Court of Appeal will make a ruling;

2. Characteristics of spouses and children applying for permanent residence in China:

The applicant must already be in Canada, and in principle, the applicant must also be in Canada during the whole application period;

Applicants must have temporary resident status of legal entry and legal residence when filling out the form, and must maintain their legal status during the whole period of waiting for the application result. People without legal status cannot apply for permanent residence in Canada as spouses;

Applying for permanent residence in China is divided into two stages:

The first stage lasts about six months, and the immigration officer will decide whether to allow the applicant to apply in China;

The second stage lasts for 3-6 months, dealing with permanent resident status issues, such as physical examination and background investigation;

If you are not registered to marry your spouse, you must prove that you have lived together for more than one year in the name of your cohabiting spouse; If you have registered marriage with your spouse, you can apply immediately after registration;

If there is a child over the age of 22 accompanying him, it is necessary to prove that the child was studying when applying for admission and was still studying when the visa was issued;

The authenticity of the relationship between husband and wife/cohabiting spouse must be proved. If the immigration officer doubts the authenticity of the spouse relationship, the visa application will be rejected;

If the application is rejected, the applicant has no right to appeal;

February 18, 2005 is Valentine's Day in the West, and the Canadian Immigration Bureau (CIC) announced the policy adjustment to further relax the spouse immigration policy and speed up the trial, including the spouse legally residing in Canada while the immigration is pending approval. According to CIC's latest processing cycle, the average processing cycle of family reunion sponsorship applications in September 2005 was 39 days, while the average processing cycle of immigrant applicants in Beijing Embassy from June 2004 to July 2005 was 80%, so it is not difficult to see that spouse reunion immigrants are the fastest among all kinds of immigrants.

Second, sponsor parents, grandparents and immigrants who adopt children:

Canadian citizens or permanent residents can sponsor their parents, grandparents or adopted children to immigrate to Canada if they meet certain conditions. The conditions and audit methods required by the guarantor are as follows:

1, guarantor conditions:

The guarantor in Canada must be at least 18 years old;

The Canadian guarantor must have sufficient economic income and meet the minimum income standard set by the Immigration Department (see attached table).

2, the guarantor's economic income calculation:

The income standard stipulated by the Immigration Department is published in February every year, valid for one year, and adjusted according to inflation every year;

The income that can be used for guarantee refers to the total pre-tax income pushed forward within one year from the time of entering the table. If the guarantor has a spouse, and the spouse agrees to be the guarantor, the spouse's income can be added to this total. However, the employment insurance premium EI and the income from some federally and provincial funded projects should be deducted.

The number of families must include the guarantor, the guarantor's spouse and the guarantor's affiliated children in Canada plus the number of sponsored parents, grandparents and adopted children;

The guarantor should add the number of people who have previously guaranteed Canada but whose guarantee period has not expired to the number of families;

As far as the guarantor is concerned, it must include the legal subsidiary of the guarantor, such as the spouse.

For example, the guarantor once sponsored his spouse to come to Canada and gave birth to a son. Now he is divorced and the child is awarded to the spouse, but the spouse has not been in Canada for three years and the previous guarantee agreement has not expired. In this case, both the former spouse and children must be counted, and the number of guarantor families should still be counted as three.

Another example is that both parents are alive, but the child is ready to sponsor one to join. In this case, as long as the marriage relationship between the two parties exists, the number should still be counted as two.

When you add up all the people who should be counted, you get the total number of people in this family. According to this total number of people, the required minimum annual income can be found in the table. It should be noted that the minimum income listed in the table refers to all pre-tax income pushed forward for one year from the date of application. These incomes must be actually received and declared to the tax bureau. Due to the complexity of calculating the income in the first 365 days, the new immigration law allows the guarantor to use the total income on the latest tax return as the basis for calculating the income. This is more convenient for people whose tax return income has reached the guaranteed amount in the past year.

3. Application procedures:

(1) Apply for guarantee: If it is determined that the income ratio of the guarantor meets the minimum income standard in the table, the guarantor can submit a guarantee application to the guarantee center of the Immigration Bureau. The application must be accompanied by proof of kinship with parents, a guarantee agreement with parents, and a commitment to take care of parents' basic needs within ten years after registration. If parents receive welfare benefits during this period, the government will recover them from the guarantor. After submitting the guarantee application, it will take 18-22 months to get the approval.

(2) Apply for an immigrant visa by entering the form: After receiving the guarantee approval letter, you need to send your parents' immigration application documents to the Canadian visa office in your parents' country of residence to apply for an immigrant visa. At present, Taiwan Province residents can send them to the visa office of the Taipei Economic and Trade Office; Residents of Hong Kong and Macao and Chinese mainland's four provinces of Hainan, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi can be sent to the Hong Kong Visa Office; Other provinces and cities in Chinese mainland should be sent to the visa office in Beijing.

(3) After a long wait of 2-3 years, the visa office will issue a physical examination form and complete a background check. If there is no problem, then issue a visa;

According to the current progress, it will take 4-5 years to complete the approval procedure for parents' reunion from the beginning of applying for guarantee to getting a visa. The center strongly recommends that applicants who meet the guarantee conditions fill in the form as soon as possible and enter the queue waiting procedure.
