Residency during inland application

[youngseattlelad]

Hey canadavisa.

I am planning on applying inland with my wife. My question is, due to the fact that I am american and I have strong family ties to the US. Would I be in danger of losing my application if I were to make frequent visits (once or twice a month) to the US to visit family and friends.

Yes. There are numerous threads on this site about this exact topic. If you plan on traveling frequently you are advised to apply Outland. Unfortunately, if you leave while your inland application is processing, there is no guarantee you can re-enter Canada and thus your application will no longer be processed (as you won’t be residing in Canada, which is a requirement of applying inland). Then you’ll have to start all over again. Your safest best in your situation is to apply Outland, and then if you wish to work get an employer to sponsor you for a closed work permit.
