Is it easier to bring a spouse, Dominican citizen, married in the DR, to Canada than to try and get them to Canada to get married? Does it make a difference?

Canada no longer has a fianc?'s visa so unless the future spouse qualifies on his/her own to immigrate to Canada it is easier to marry first.
It's not recommended of course just to get them here because you will carry a three year responsibly as the sponsor.
Thank you but I am already there, from another post of yours . I guess what I am asking is, assuming good credit, a secure career what is the income they are looking for? $50k, 60k, 100? Do they focus on any other criteria? I don't see any requirements stated...just questions on the various forms.
thanks
You are asking about the sponsor right? Most sponsors have no problem qualifying that I've heard of except you can't be on welfare.
The problems are hardly ever with the sponsoring spouse. Proving a real relationship is another story even if you are married
I have a Canadian friend who's love is coming to visit Canada from the Dominican Republic on a visitors visa. Have any Canadians out there married someone from the Dominican Republic in Canada? How long did it take for the person from the Dominican Republic to get permanent residency in Canada?
No official documents, no candy.This is far trickier than anticipated.
What if the house the person "owns" is in a barrio and there is no paper trail per se. It's been passed down from generation to generation with no records. I guess that won't really help establish strong ties to the DR.
That really is a problem.No official documents, no candy.
I guess the real question is if one wanted to get a Dominican to Canada what is the surest path?
Get married first?
Get them to Canada as a student?
An employee?
AS a visitor?
There's no sure path if the application isn't genuine. Everything you need to know about visa to Canada is in this forum which is the visa forum. There is no info about Visas in the mars/venus forum.
It's been a almost year since you first posted have you had any luck?
