Topic: Temporary Resident - Family Sponsorship outside CA

dknz

Hi there

I am married to a Canadian and we current live in New Zealand with 3 kids all under 6. My wife has been offered a job in Canada and we are investigating immigrating to take up the opportunity.

I have read the Canada Immigration website a number of times and keep stumbling on a gap in information for what options are available in the interim between applying and being granted Family Sponsorship which outside of Canada is currently saying 17 months. In order to take up this opportunity we would like to move in 4. We'd need to take the kids in as dependents on the back of my visa until we can get certificates of citizenship issued (8 months from NZ).

So could someone please point me in the direction of where/ what I should be reading about heading to Canada while an application is being processed.

Thanks
David
