That would leave visa exempt spouses that do not live in Canada absolutely no way of applying . . .GustavesF said:It's because CIC is lazy and inefficient.
If they really were worried about prioritizing those not united with their family then they wouldn't allow Visa exempt people to apply Outland.
8 months of processing vs 2 months of processing I can see, but allowing that 8 to slip to 17 is just pathetic. The reason behind that is laziness and inefficiency.

Another VALID reason, is because for an OUTLAND application, the first stage approval (which you say is 2 months) is ONLY the approval of the sponsor, which is known as SA.Romeo said:eg. for sponsor assessment something like 2 months for outland and 17 months for inland???? Does that even make any sense. WHY?? ???
You rock.Ponga said:Another VALID reason, is because for an OUTLAND application, the first stage approval (which you say is 2 months) is ONLY the approval of the sponsor, which is known as SA.
An Inland application's first stage approval is known as AIP (Approval in Principle) because it is a combination of the sponsor approval + the assessment of the applicant's relationship with the sponsor. For an Outand applicant, the relationship is assessed during the second stage.
It's important for you to understand this critical difference between the two.
Sorry about that. I mean to say "wouldn't allow people living in Canada to apply outland". Tried to use fancy terms.truesmile said:That would leave visa exempt spouses that do not live in Canada absolutely no way of applying . . .
