Hi Nicelina,

I read on this forum and can see that you sent an outland application for common-law (processed by Mississauga/Warsaw). I will be going through the same process with my boyfriend (he is Canadian and will be sponsoring me, I am Polish) from November/December on.

As your application is processed outland, I was wondering whether you stayed in Canada during the process? Can you apply outland when the applicant is in Canada? The big advantage of the outland process is that it goes a way faster! And we are not sure yet whether to apply inland or outland.

I have an other question regarding inland application, I read on this forum that if you decide to apply inland, the applicant is not allowed to leave Canada or the application would have to start from the beginning. I dont know if Latvia is visa exempt but Polish nationals with biometric passports are, and I have such a passport, and lets say I had a visitor visa in Canada (to have a status here), am I still not allowed to leave Canada for a visit in Europe??

Thanks in advance for your help and good luck with your application!!

Hey dzuls and welcome to our small group of Warsaw visa office ppl.

Inland is the same for everybody, regardless from what country you are - you cannot leave Canada during the process, the only exceptions are for really serious situations (I'm guessing family problems but you'd have to find out more yourself as I haven't) and even then, it's case by case.

What bothers me right now is this stressful process of trying to go back to Canada while you're applying Outland. From what I've been reading one may have problems entering the country again as they'll suspect everything he worst from you, and not simply the fact that you want to be with you partner while waiting for the end of the process. A little paranoid for me coz the main reason to choose the Outland app IS because I don't want to be stuck in Canada for 1,5 year without being able to see my family or travel. eh.... As if they preferred me to sit in Poland the whole year and endure a hard long-distance relationship instead of enjoying being with my partner during that time. where's the logic in this....?

Okay, I thought I'd share my experience re-entering Canada today. I was flying back from Europe with my husband and they almost didn't even ask any questions. Just checked my status on the computer (AOR) and gave me a six month visitors record.
It was so easy, time to stress over other things now ;D

That is great news, now you will be able to wait for the approval with your husband. So they did not ask much... if only all immigratin officers were like this. My wife (still girlfriend at that time) was not let in even if I was with her flying into Canada. But mind you we did not apply yet at that time. Maybe it is worth trying again??? Whati airport did you go through? We were in Montreal, and Montreal oficers are really not flexible. Even me, with my Canadian passport get questions asked where did I go and why when returning to Canada through Montreal. I do not get these questions asked even in Russia, not talking about Europe. Oh Canada!!!

Congratulations! Unfortunately, I will be lacking the most important proof - my partner (who's going to stay in Montreal) - but hopefully the paperwork and his mobile number will be enough. :

This was at Pearson's. They actually seemed a bit apologetic that the best they could do was 6 months but I'll renew it if my PR hasn't come through by that time. Best of luck to you Ryathe!

Congratulations!!! I guess they told you to contact them after three months (and gave you a date) if nothing comes form them.

By the way, I am sending additional stuff to Warsaw today. The enveloppe is with me at work right now, will ship it with FedEX in the afternoon. We'll see if they actually look into this. I am just adding my plane tickets to go and see my wife since I filed the application. A couple more pictures. And a couple of other papers that show we really keep in touch as a family as much as we can.
