Apply outland. Your spouse can do so from within Canada. Where is your spouse from? With a straight forward application, most outland applicants take a maximum of about 12 months, and many take much less time. With inland you're looking at a longer time than that. I believe you must be living together to apply inland. If there is an interview, your spouse will have to travel to their home country. Here is the list of forms and the instruction guide (please read the guides) http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp

my spouse is originally from India and now in BC in Canada!! So if there is an interview my spouse has to back India for that and also is this mean that my spouse can stay in Canada while the processing!!

Your spouse can stay in Canada while the outland application processes. If an interview is required she will have to go to India for that most likely. Inland is only an option if both of you are living together, so unless you're able to do that then outland is the only option. Also, your spouse can submit an Open Work Permit with the Inland application, which would grant her implied status if her original status is about to expire, but the PR application itself doesn't grant any status. Again, this isn't an option if you aren't living together.

A thread about someone recently being requested proof of cohabitation while married with an inland application: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/cohabitation-proof-needed-if-married-t428900.0.html

my spouse will be done with the studies in august and then my spouse is applying for work permit based on the studies done in Canada. Does that effect sponsorship application(outland).

No. Any study/work visas/permits won't affect her PR application (whether inland or outland). Either you can wait until your spouse is done with his/her studies and find a way to live together and apply inland, or you can apply outland now. I can't guarantee you won't need an interview, and I'm sure the cost and likelihood of the interview will be something you'll have to think about and decide which option will be better for both of you. With an inland application it's advised that the principal applicant (your spouse) doesn't leave Canada at all during an inland application, because even if your spouse leaves on a short few day trip, if s/he is denied entry then it will invalidate the whole application.

Hi guys,

I need some support in terms of our situation..
We got a refusal today, stating that my spouse didn't show up for an interview that was scheduled for march 10th..
Based on this, our case was refused.
Weird thing is, we did not receive any notice, by mail, e-mail, phone nothing, we check the post office, e-mail 10 times and we didn't find any communication from the embassy in Warsaw.
We are replying to the e-mail from the embassy stating our situation.
Do you think it will solve anything?
Do we need to appeal?
This is crazy.. such a silly thing..
Your support is much appreciated.

Thanks

you are better off sending in a new application and explaining the issue than you are appealing. Appealing is long and costly. If it is just a matter of missing an interview, and you provide an explanation, it probably won't negatively affect a new application. I would recommend getting in touch with the sponsor's Canadian MP (member of parliament) to see if they can help reopen your current application. Sometimes, if they apply enough pressure, it will be reopened and processed accordingly. Also, it may be worth it to send a case specific email to the visa office and requesting the application be reopened since the interview letter was never received.

I second this opinion and advice.

I would reapply as well in your situation.

Thanks for your support guys... we just sent an e-mail to the immigration section of the Warsaw embassy.
Thankfully my sisters finance works with a lot of politicians so perhaps he can push something.
Uff.. never expected such a silly technicality..
How can they make a decision without following up with the request?
My wife and I live together, they could at least contact me when they get a no reply from her.
But i guess we're all just 0's and 1's..
Sorry to kill the mood guys.

Cheers and good luck to us all!

Your sister's fiance won't be able to do anything. YOU need to contact your MP now and ask them to send a request to reopen your app.

You can check on the CIC's application status check page online. Not updated as timely or frequently as we'd like.

Also, your wife can request GCMS notes.
