Opportunities for Carlos

No Marketplace category fits Carlos’s goal.

Carlos, a Canadian in Spain sponsoring his wife, looking curious
The Marketplace

Which kinds of opportunity fit Carlos’s goal

The Marketplace has jobs, Canadian education and businesses for sale, each explained against the rules. Not every kind fits every goal, and a story never forces one in.

Jobs

Doesn’t fit the goal

As a Canadian citizen he can work in Canada without a permit, so reading jobs in immigration terms adds nothing for him.

Education

Doesn’t fit the goal

Studying isn’t part of his plan.

Businesses

Doesn’t fit the goal

Buying or starting a business plays no part in a spouse sponsorship.

No listing in this story. Carlos is a Canadian citizen sponsoring his wife. Their application turns on their marriage and on his return to live in Canada, not on a job, a school or a business, so the Marketplace has nothing to add to his plan.

What matters instead

  • A citizen sponsor living abroad must show they will live in Canada when their spouse becomes a permanent resident. Official source
