Hi,
I am a Canadian Citizen, recently married to a Bhutanese citizen (asia) in May 2005. I registered myself as a Canadian going overseas (to be married, I mentioned) and then as a Canadian residing overseas for a period of time, with the Canadian High Commission (New Delhi, India. - Takes care of Bhutan's Canadian stuff)
I have three quick questions regarding sponsoring my spouse, which I haven't found the answer to in the rest of this thread/forum location.
1. I applied for a Temporary Residence visa (tourist) 2 times before marriage (hoping to marry in Canada) and once after marriage (took place in Bhutan), but was refused all three times. Will this have a negative effect on sponsoring her as my spouse? (I am sponsoring from Canada)
2. Do I need to tell the government, or CIC that I am now married so they can change my status in their books or something? I am a Canadian citizen by birth (in Canada). I would hate to have my sponsorship application rejected because I failed to tell the right people that I'm now married.
3. My wife has no children, so I am only going to sponsor her to come to Canada as my spouse. Do I need to show 12 months of bank statements? Do I need to be making a certain (set) amount of money to qualify to sponsor her?
Thanks very much,
J.K.
