Hi!

My fiancé and I just received our Certificate of Approval 2 days ago. It took just over a month so we're really happy with that.

We're now starting to look into the Spouse Visa I will have to apply for once we get married. We're planning to do it in October and then go to Canada for 3 weeks to spend some time with my family and also apply for the Spouse Visa.

Does anyone know how long it is likely to take for me to receive that visa? Should I be able to receive it within the 3 weeks I'm there?

I've also heard that my then husband will have to have a certain amount of money in his account to prove he can support me. How much should he have roughly? What if I have a letter from an employer saying that as soon as I get my Visa, they'll hire me?

It is all so confusing!

Well, thank you for your help!

Catherine

Bumping this - as I have the same question!

Getting married July 30th in Greece to a British Citizen.then going back to Vancouver in September to apply for a settlement Spouse Visa.

How long is it taking to apply from Canada? I have to do this from Ottawa don't I?
