Asylum in US-->Bringing her to Canada--No passport

My fiance has an approved asylum status in the US and she will have her greencard in Nov of this yea. I am planning to sponsor her to join me here in Canada. The issue is she currently doesn't have her passport (and can't apply for one until she becomes a US citizen or leave). Can I sponsor someone without a passport from her own country? 

I believe (as in I am not sure) a person may but the process is more complicated and subject to greater scrutiny.

I strongly suggest seeing a qualified immigration lawyer, NOT a consultant, at least for a consultation.

Of course this is not a common circumstance (though it does occur more than occasionally . . . one often sees references to cases involving people who do not have and cannot obtain a passport from the country of their nationality) and there will be far closer scrutiny of the application, especially as to identity and background.

As Harmonia suggests, though, much better to first ascertain for certain whether or not a passport can be obtained.

To travel between the US and Canada by land or water you need one of the following: passport, nexus card, FAST card, or an enhanced driver's license (which you can get in certain states when you get your driver's license, you will have to check the state and its requirements most of them require birth certificate. Some of them like in WA you have to be a US Citizen)

Hi

I believe that should be sufficient for making a sponsored PR application and it is definitely sufficient for purposes of international travel (recognizing the limitations that may apply to persons of that nationality). I do not see how a U.S. green card figures into the calculation about submitting a sponsored PR application. If the passport a Foreign National carries is not from a visa-exempt country, the GC will allow the person to travel to Canada as a visa-exempt person (from U.S.) but it has no bearing on the PR application that I know of. Not sure how a person with dual citizenship obtains assylum/refugee status; this confuses me, more than a little actually.

The OP stated that she doesn't have a passport.

Great observation everybody! Sorry for the confusion about the dual citizenship idea. She is originally from X country, I am from Y country and we all need to be here in Canada. What I meant was that since I can sponsor her to become citizen of a my country, probably that could be another solution for her to have a passport. Nuff about that...

Until now, I had not realized how complicated the whole thing might be. But as dpenabill said, I might need some help in this one. Basically when one apply for Asylum, you surrender the passport if you any. According US Immigration, we can request those original documents back by filing a form (I believe it's G-883). Even when we get them back, the passport would be expired and she won't be travel using it.

"To travel between the US and Canada by land or water you need one of the following: passport, nexus card, FAST card, or an enhanced driver's license.............. By air you need a passport or nexus card. "

I agree with the above suggestion and she can get the Nexus card (She will get the greencard after November also).

I am also thinking about applying for US Travel documents (will cost around $250) and once she gets here in Canada, I will fill for inland sponsorship even though that will take longer period of time. Possible?
