8 months to first stage approval is rather slow since it is supposed to take 5-6 months but getting the PR itself in 10 is fast.

I think it is based on our timeline story and mostly its all about Quality rather than Quantity. I don't include unnecessary
stuff in the application. Honest and be genuine. I was not allowed to work for a year during our sponsorship and I had to go back to Singapore every six months because I was liable to the country (for government work) and we keep our connection and relationship together..and it was quite a hassle. like I said in the application its all about concrete evidence and genuinity. Even the IO told me during our interview my file was very well organized and dated correctly. I guess thats like less hassle to the IO.
+ with the help in this forum and good people here also helped us a lot.

All depends on case to case basis in my opinion but don't take my word for it. We had many reasons for taking it inland rather than outland due to my complexity of my government/country.

 

[zissou]

you had to go back to singapore? i thought that if you left the country during which an inland application was being processed that it then meant the whole thing is void?

 

[elfut]

I left for a month for business reasons and I have been in relationship continuously since 2007.
You can't leave Canada of course and you need valid reasons to do so.

congrats elfut,

what do you mean by complexity of your country( Singapore) if you do outland sponsorship? cause i'm still waiting for mine. you submitted yours 1 month earlier than i did and i've not recieved my first stage of approval yet. anyhow, you're right. quality instead of quantity but in my case i'm trying to send them more so atleast they get to open my file when i send some info. i was thinking if i do outland and just do it in singapore. well i'm from philippines but i have a cousin in singapore so i can just stay there while waiting.
