OWP is due October 2020. One thing that comes to mind is :If she has been refused, that's the end of the Inland Sponsorship process, fini, which means she is not tied up as before when this process was in place to the restriction of not leaving the country right ? Now she becomes the typical tourist visa holder whose visa expires in 2025 who wants to return to Canada to visit her husband who is precisely by her side as the two are traveling together. The officer could give her a 6 month permit, which is not bad given the fact that once in Canada we are sending a new application together with a Extend your Stay form. Thanks

We can even carry the refusal letter showing the officer one of the last paragraphs that says: "Should you wish to reapply you will be required to submit a new application and pay a new processing fee.".

Gave my thoughts. Genuinely unsure whether the OWP gets cancelled. Usually visas don’t get cancelled. Medical coverage is dependent on more things so dependent on where you live, like Alberta, you get coverage through marriage.

Hi Canuck78: You gave me your thoughts thank-you for that but you did not comment on what I wrote afterwards which is "One thing that comes to mind is :If she has been refused, and invited to reapply that's the end of the Inland Sponsorship process, fini, which means she is not tied up as before when this process was in place to the restriction of not leaving the country right ? Now she becomes the typical tourist visa holder whose visa expires in 2025 who wants to leave Canada for one month or 3 wks and return to Canada , both trips with her husband who is precisely by her side as the two are traveling together. The officer could give her a 6 month permit, which is not bad given the fact that once in Canada we are sending a new application together with a Extend your Stay form" If she applies INLAND or OUTLAND after her arrival back to Canada that's up to her, but if she has an OWP until October 2020 she has status to leave and come back to reapply All she wants to do is visit her very sick mother. I hae read in this forum that whatever status the person has when refused inland continues until its due date. Please respond.

There is always a risk in leaving and returning to Canada because you sponsorship has been denied and your wife had been in the country on visitor status or OWP waiting for her PR. Does she have a job? If you do get questioned you could say that you were visiting a sick relative (bring a little proof) and you intend to send in your application right after you land but you have paid for the sponsorship and show the receipt. Best ad I’ve. I am not a lawyer so I will let others comment.

II think t all depends if she goes INLAND in which case leaving is more questionable. OUTLAND not so much..

You didn't actually live together for about 2 months and therefore do not meet the inland requirement of continuous cohabitation. You might get a nice VO who allows it or you might get a not nice VO who doesn't. No one here can say for sure.

alrighty!!.. any inputs on what is the outcome if Not-so-nice-VO allows the positive result? just a decline? or hopefully not a ban or something???

No ban, just a refusal. As you now live together full-time, you could just update your app and reapply right away, ensuring continuous cohabitation through the entire process.

No need to consult a lawyer. Send your docs with a solid explanation for the breaks in cohabitation and stressing that you are now cohabiting continuously with no further breaks.
