Immigration To Canada Requirements
Q: I am a new graduate in nursing. I am single and have three sisters who are Canadian citizens. I want to apply as an immigrant. How do I go about that?
A: You must have a minimum of one year of full time work experience. That is the threshold to at least get yourself inside the door. While I do not have much information to assess your case, you need at least 1 year of work to even start. So without that you are not qualified as a skilled worker.
Sponsor Spouse To Canada
Q: I am married to a Canadian Citizen. We are living outside of Canada. Does my sponsor need to return to Canada to file the application? How long will it take? Can I enter Canada and file the application from inside the country?
A: Yes, your spouse can sponsor you either inside of Canada or outside. She does not need to return to Canada to file the application and we can file on her behalf at the local immigration processing centre. You have not stated if you have a visitor visa now to enter Canada. If you do, and if you enter, it is possible to apply from inside Canada but that process will take longer. On average, a spousal sponsorship from outside the country will take about 6 months and double that time if processed inside the country.

Quick question, I’m applying to sponsor my spouse who is outside canada. I started my own business in May 2007 and have not made much money yet. In the application it says “in order to qualify and sponsor my wife i need to reach de necessary income amount” and my question is HOW MUCH IS THAT AMOUNT ? how can I calculate. Also would owning 2 homes could help me show I have properties and can sell in case I don’t make money to survive? One house is fully rented and other house where I also live in I rent out 3 bedrooms which helps me pay mortgage.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GUIDANCE.
