We are currently in the process of gathering all our documents and needed some guidance with this one. Since turning 18, my husband has spent time working:
6 years - country of birth (Europe)
2 years - Canada (Quebec)
3 years - island nation (part of country of birth) - work sponsorship
3 years - USA - work sponsorship
1 year - England - for work, but no work permit needed as he holds a european passport
3 years - Ontario - work sponsorship
Currently in the USA on work sponsorship
Also, are there different application forms for an outland application? If I'm to use the same application, how do we indicate that this is an outland application? For the moment I have selected "I am currently living outside Canada, and I am applying under the Family Class" with the application package going to Case Processing Centre, Sydney, PO Box 9500, Sydney, Nova Scotia, B1P 0H5, is this correct?
If we were to hire a lawyer, what do they typically do? How much would it cost and is it of any benefit? I feel like this is a straight forward case as my husband has spent so many years in Canada already.
