hmmm, fingers crossed, i really hope so.Ponga said:
any tips, as we will be getting married and submitting the application so quickly, that too when his WP is expiring soon.
also, can applicants not leave the country even after getting the OWP ?
It is possible to encounter slow processing times for Marriage Certificates in Ontario. When you are sending your application, be sure to include the Certificate, and not just the Record of Solemnisation.Pearl1 said:
The in Canada class is intended for people to remain in Canada while the application is processed. Both the Sponsor (unless they are a Citizen of Canada) and the PA should remain in Canada. Though short trips outside are permitted, they are not recommended. The reason is the CBSA can refuse entry for any reason, and if they did, your fiance could end up with an abandoned PR application.Pearl1 said:
If your previous post is correct, you have a PR. That means you are expected to remain for the duration of the processing of the file.Pearl1 said:
You can apply outland, and he can renew Visitor Visas. Unless he can get a work permit, he cannot work. Outland applications are not eligible for OWP's.Pearl1 said:
It's not a matter of being able to `freely move around', but rather what the consequences would be if he is denied re-entry.Pearl1 said:
Inland- His application is jeopardized, because he must be living/residing IN Canada with you (his sponsor). If he suddenly can no longer do that, the application is toast.
Outland- If he is denied re-entry, the application continues to be processed.
And you are correct; OWP is not available for an Outland applicant.
Where is he from? If he's from one of the visa-exempt countries that are enjoying fast processing times (i.e. USA, UK, AUS/NZ, for example) he could be processed in ~6 months, if the application is seen as a straightforward one, with no real questions/concerns from CIC.
not even for a short vacation ? not even to visit parents back home ? can we not even travel together?Ponga said:Excellent point. As a PR (sponsor), she is required to stay in Canada during the process, save for those ambiguous `short trips' that CIC refuses to clarify, in terms of allowable duration.
wow, like they really want people to get tied up here for more than 26 months :-[
and we both are from India
Short trips are usually not a problem, but NOBODY seems to know how long is too long!
I can't imagine you'd be going back to India for one week, right? So...is one month too long?!
Probably, but again...no one seems to know the true answer. The fact that you, as a PR and not a Canadian citizen, are required to be in Canada during the process, only complicates this question.

S. 130 (1) and 130 (2).. 130 (1)(b) is the part that you're most interested in.

Note: Permanent residents residing abroad may not sponsor from outside of Canada. Canadian citizens travelling as tourists are not considered to be residing abroad.
Since you are NOT [yet] a Canadian citizen, you must be in Canada to sponsor. If you leave for a short trip and CIC determines that it was too long...the application is toast.
