Hi.
Well, my wife and I have finally decided to make the move back to
Canada sooner rather than later and have got ourselves the forms for
sponsorship under the family / spousal class.
My wife is the Canadian citizen so I'm assuming she's going to have no
problems as she will be travelling on a Canadian passport.
Obviously that means she will be sponsoring me. I'm British and we've
been married for 5 + 1/2 years, living exclusively in the UK but
holidaying in Canada and calling relatives on a regular basis. Pretty
sure we still have the ticket stubs for the travel but if not we
obviously still have our passport stamps! I also have all the phone
bills which show international calls to Canada.
Does anyone know what the current wait-time is in London for this type
of application? We're looking to be out of the UK by the end of the
year (late summer) if at all possible. Currently looking at settling
in southern interior BC.
I have type-1 (insulin dependant) diabetes which is under excellent
control so I'm assuming that will not put a dampener on any
application we make.
Is it worth retaining an immigration consultant or will that be a
waste of money as we can provide the proof the Canadian authorities
seem to require without too much hassle. The forms seem relatively
straightforward as well...
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
