Re: Canadian citizen to UK resident

Thank you everyone. This has been so helpful. We are going to phone a solicitor tomorrow, get together all the necessary paperwork and try the Surrendar Singh route first. Will keep you informed on this site. Enjoy the tennis!

Re: Canadian citizen to UK resident

Good morning noajthan. I have read all I can on the Surrinder Singh route, and we can provide all the necessary requirements. I am confused and concerned though as to whether my husband should say he has been resident in the UK or not. If he says he has been resident for 3 years, it will certainly ...

Re: Canadian citizen to UK resident

Casa, thank you. My income far exceeds the £18,000 figure, but my husband's does not. Can I sponsor him, so that his income is not an issue?

Re: Canadian citizen to UK resident

noajthan ... you have been really helpful and spent quite some time on this for us - most grateful. I left Switzerland to come back to the UK officially in December 2012. My husband has been travelling since then, spending much of his time, on and off, in the UK. Can we still use Switzerland as the ...

Re: Canadian citizen to UK resident

Switzerland is not a member of the EEA.

Would it be a good idea to make an early appointment with a solicitor dealing with immigration matters?

Re: Canadian citizen to UK resident

If you are trying to scare me, you are doing a great job. I have looked at the government website, and he is allowed to be in this country as a visitor for a period of six months, renewable. Why would he be refused?

Re: Canadian citizen to UK resident

So, we both worked in Switzerland for many years before this, and my husband worked in the US for many years before that. So where does he have to go back to?

Re: Canadian citizen to UK resident

What? Are you absolutely sure? We were told he could apply from within the UK. I don't get it ... he is Canadian, from a Commonwealth country, we are retired, have a private medical insurance, private pensions, and a house that is ours. We will not take anything from the State. We have all the proof ...
