Dear Massoodji, I would appreciate your advice on the following. Could someone else please advise in case Massoodji is on leave.

1. What happens if a newly landed immigrant decides to get married to someone back in India? Does he/she have to wait or get a job or any such mandatory requirement? Could the parents of landed immigrant help in this regard?

2. Can he/she bring spouse to Canada ? After what period? What requirements? Is there any website that gives guidelines?

3. A number of canadiandesis have recently got married after landing in Canada. Would appreciate if they would like to share information about the procedure .

4. Incidentally, I am asking this on behalf of someone else, so please don't jump to conclusions .

Regards, Margo

1. sponsor the spouse after marriage, for spouses and dependant children there is no minimum income requirement...

2. the official source is ALWAYS the best source...

1a. You can sponsor your wife. No income needed. You have to be residing in Canada to be eligible to sponsor.

1b. parents cannot help.

2. he/she cannot bring spouse to Canada on a visitor's visa. Have to be via sponsorship which takes between 6-24 weeks [New Delhi]
