I love this list because if I make a slip with an answer, someone corrects me fast.  It also means that I get to update my material and should always check first before sending something out when I know there have been some changes.
 
Donald Cameron, an extremely qualified Canadian Immigration Expert has corrected the last CENTAPEDE about sponsoring a Fiancee into Canada.
 
He says you can no longer do so with the new changes last June. 
 
I should have read the whole act instead of painting the motorhome in July, August, September and October (a lot of dry rot and bodywork as well).
 
At least I was correct when I said it would be easier to marry him first and / or have him come on a working visa and get married later.

My question is: Applicable to both US and Canada
QUESTION:
 
I have a fiance in Texas, who I wish to sponsor into Canada.  A
friend of David Ingram's told me to contact him for a newsletter??  I am not
sure if this is the place, but I am a government employee, who is on LTD,
and as such would like to know if this will be a problem in sponsoring my
fiance into Canada.

It would likely be easier for you to bring your fiancee in easier if you were married first.  If you do bring him in as a fiancee, you MUST be married within 90 days and submit the documentation proving the marriage within 180 days. You also have to deal with an overseas office. If he came to visit and you happened to get married while he was here, you could apply from within the country. 
 
Of course, if you do so, neither of you should cross the border until he has his official Canadian Landed Immigrant card.
 
It might be easier for him to come to Canada under a working visa and then get married later.
 
Hope this all helps.
 
 



David,

Under the new Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations (which came into effect on 28 June 2002) fiance(e)s are no longer members of the Family Class and, therefore, cannot be sponsored.

Regards,

Don
