I don't see too much complication here:
1. You marry
2. You get the PR
3. You divorce
4. Yoy buy the property
5. If you want, you get married again. The house is yours, as it was purchased while you were single.

#49.... Terry... I heard they lowered the bar from 10 years, first to 5 and now 2.... Don't know if that is true. Better not to get married but then you need to have a kid to get PR. Why is stuff so complicated...lol
Had a meeting with a financial planner earlier this evening. My head is spinning. Will look at all the take aways this weekend. Overall, looking better than i thought and it wasn't looking bad, before. I've managed my investments on my own, my entire life. I need to let go. Not easy. Not getting any younger and my wife, both of us living in Cuba, would not be able to take over if she outlives me. Considering she is 16 years younger than me, that is almost a certainty.

jajaja gres, I hear you. It's a foregone conclusion that I'll be going first too... my wife being double your difference at 32 years younger than me. But parts of me still feel like 21... nothing has fallen off yet. She's told me that she doesn't want me to buy a new bigger casa for us. She'll be quite happy to just have us live together in our little casa that she owns... complete with our new baby too. She's now got baby-on-the-brain BAD after seeing her 2 amigas with their big barrigas and ready to pop. jaja We've been trying for awhile, and we've suffered through one miscarriage together already. But it's always hard to get the timing right now. If necessary we're prepared to go the artificial insemination route after I get my PR status soon. That's what one of her amigas did with her esposo cubano. Anyway, I've digressed too much from the subject at hand......

32 years age difference.....
Canada Immigration frowns upon that when it comes to sponsorship.
(directly related to the subject ).

I don't think his wife is in Canada. He's also not planning to sponsor her.
In my case, my wife is in Canada, and now a Canadian citizen.
Not like she was 18 and i was 34. Age difference can certainly work against you, when it comes to sponsoring a wife.
She was 35, i was 51 when i sponsored her. That was in 2003.
Just to say... With a 32 year difference and if he was the same age as me, she would have had to been 19... I doubt Canada would have approved.

cameronb, you're absolutely correct. But as greslogo pointed out to you on my behalf, sponsorship for my wife is of no concern to me because my Cuban wife has absolutely no desire to live in Canada. I'll be living in Cuba with her instead.

gres, my wife is 28 years of age, but with the maturity level of a 40 year old. She considers herself to be an old woman at 28. As you know, our age difference is sometimes only a problem for those who are unfortunately fixated on our traditional cultural norms in Canada. In Cuba, no such stigma exists.
