Sponsering a spouse for permanent residency in canada.
My husband and I got married in July 2008. We submitted out application to immigration in October 2008. I was wondering about how long does it take to go through the final processing, and for them to then contact us for an interview. I am worried that they might refuse out application. The reason I am worried is that when I was younger (approx 19-20) I was on financial assistance from the government for about a year and a half. I was dealing with major depression at the time, in and out of the hospital. Since I have met my hubby I have been holding a steady full time job earning $12 an hour. Does this effect our case in any way? We are hoping for the best because we are in love, and couldn't be away from each other. If for some reason it is refused and he needs to go back to his home country, I am more than prepared to join him there. Of course we don't want this to happen.. If we are refused can we re-apply right away? And what are the chances of them accepting the second application if they refuse the first one? Also. What kind of questions should I be prepared to answer if they do contact us for an interview? I have been supporting my husband for almost a year now because he is unable to work legally in canada. He came here on a student visa, and now he is no longer in school because of financial difficulties. (its expensive to be an international student). We don't want to take any chances.. we are doing everything by the book.. he is going crazy staying at home and waiting for me to come home from work. We applied for a work visa for him but it was refused.. not sure why. (by the way, we are living in canada.)
