"What to do next?"
 
   Hello again everyone,

Bit stuck about what to do. I am a british citizen living with my canadian wife here in the UK. Just about to send of my application for PR visa... but don't know what to do!
Do I (a)Travel to Canada with my wife and apply from within Canada (can I work then?). And can I really just fly over and stay there???
or (b) Apply from UK. We are both in work and continue to save money.

Which way is quicker, and which makes more sense. I am in a financial position that means I would not have to work in Canada for 3 months or so. My wife needs to be back by September 2003 whatever the situation , and the chances are that my UK application will not be complete by then, what do I do.
Views will be much appreciated!!!

   Given current processing delays, the likelihood is that a sponsor ship application filed overseas will not be concluded by September 2003. As such, an inland sponsorship may be the surest way to be sure that she is in Canada by this date without risking separation.

You are eligible to travel to Canada without first obtaining a passport visa.

If married to a Canadian and within Canada, then an application for sponsorship may be submitted within Canada, as the marriage would constitute sufficient Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds to allow for such. Such an inland application is processed entirely within Canada, unlike a standard sponsorship which is generally concluded overseas.

In such a case, the temporary status of the applicant will generally be extended for the duration of the application process. Also, once an approval in principle is obtained, an open employment authorization may be obtained.
