Processing of Canadian Work Permit Application Taking Too Long
Question: I’m a certified nursing assistant and I have a pending application in the Canadian Embassy that’s still being processed since 2007. It’s already been years now, and some people I know who applied later than I did have already been approved – some are even in Canada already. I’m worried about my application and I’m wondering about how things would turn out. What can I do?
Answer: Certified nursing assistant is an occupation that is in demand in Canada. Meaning, applicants with this occupation are prioritized. However, this only started in 2008. Prior to this year, all applications were treated equally. After 2008, when prioritization has already been implemented, applications filed prior to that year became backlogs and were not processed as fast – this could be the reason why your application is not yet approved until now. One option that you have here would be to withdraw it and then reapply so that the new rules will already cover you.

Question About Spouse Sponsorship to Canada
Question: I have been married to a younger Filipina, but we do not live together yet – she is in Philippines while I am in Canada. We met online, chatted for a period of time, and decided to get married. Because of our situation, though, we do not have children yet. I want to sponsor her to Canada, but I’m worried that it might not be approved because we’ve been married for only a short time and because of the circumstances surrounding our relationship. Any advice as to the best time to apply?
Answer: When it comes to spouse sponsorship, there’s only one challenge – to prove that the marriage is true and in good faith. The time that has passed since you got married won’t matter as much as the other circumstances surrounding your case will. One of these is the fact that you only met online, which can arouse suspicion among the immigration officers. Another is the fact that your wife is younger. These factors are often carefully looked into because of previous cases of marriage in bad faith. So, anytime would be fine – just see to it that you have all the required papers needed for the application. You can also get legal advice to ensure that you won’t have problems dealing with the specific details.
