Inland Common Law Sponsorship, are we allowed to travel?

[naugustin]

Hello,

I am new to the forum, and Im wondering if anyone could offer some advice on my situation.

I will be submitting our application for inland common law sponsorship sometime next week. My boyfriend is a Canadian citizen and I am currently on a PGWP. My PGWP will expire July 12 2019. I will be submitting the application for an OWP as well. Hoping to have my OWP approved before July 12 2019.

My question is, are we allowed to travel together for a week’s vacation in April 2019? Is it true that if I have a valid work permit, I should not have a problem coming back to Canada?

For reference, I am from a visa-exempt country and have an Eta with my work permit.

If you left Canada for 2 months on an inland application and IRCC catches wind of it there's a good chance your application will be rejected. For an inland app both applicant and sponsor must be inside Canada.

NOPE the CIC website says as long as you have valid visa anything you can come back ... and my work permit is not OWP , and im not in tourist status .. or just say why i know, because i done this before.. this is the seocnd time i left canada for this long...

Trust me - members on this forum have been rejected for being outside Canada on an inland application for that long. Being able to do your medical outside Canada has nothing to do with it, anyone can do their medical at any panel approved physician. You are confusing CBSA and IRCC. CBSA may allow you to re enter Canada but if IRCC learns you've been out of the country for months on an inland application you may find yourself facing some issues.

• (b) have temporary resident status in Canada; and
  
  
• (c) are the subject of a sponsorship application.

It is not just being rejected re-entry. By being outside of Canada for months, you are failing to meet the most basic requirement of inland: to live with your spouse in Canada throughout the entire process. If IRCC finds out, expect a refusal.

Does this mean then that if my common law partner and I travel outside of Canada for a week’s vacation and as long as I have a valid work permit, i will be allowed back in to
Canada?

No one on this forum can guarantee you will be allowed entry. Only Canadian citizens and PRs have that right.

Thank you for your reply. What is your advice? is it better to stay or if i do decide to go, what documents should I have to prove that I have submitted my application for common law?
