Hi everyone!
I'm a Canadian citizen living in Canada, and my fiancee is an American citizen living down in the states. We plan to get married next April, and for her to move up to Canada to live with me. To speed up the process of the applications, we're also planning to 'sign the papers' here in Canada in the near future, before the actual marriage date.
After some researching, I've been recommended to apply for an outland sponsorship, as that will allow us to still travel during the application process. However, I can't seem to find a separate application for an inland vs. outland sponsorship (
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp). Both the inland & outland sponsorship links provided by Leon in the original post seem to redirect to the same link. Am I looking in the wrong place, or is there just one single application now? If that's the case, then how does that impact either of our abilities to leave our respective countries during the process?
Another question is: when will she be able to legally work in Canada? After we get approval for this application, do we have to apply for a separate visa / PR?
Thanks for all your insights in advance!
