I know that we cannot change the application, but what would be the correct steps to re-apply inland? More info below.

Applied Outland - Nov 4, 2024
AOR received - Nov 29, 2024
Nothing further happened

My spouse (PA) is coming to Canada on his visitor Visa inchallah soon and I am considering withdrawing the outland application because it is almost certain that our processing will be longer than the usual as he will likely be called for interview with his outland VO. In our VO, all marriages that are mixed get in person interview. We are of different nationalities, have an age gap (wife older), wife (sponsor) was married and is divorced (as of 2022), husband (PA) never married but was in 4 yr relationship and engaged for 1 year, wife (sponsor) sponsored her ex husband in 2013.

We have plenty proof of a genuine relationship, multiple visits, proper engagement, family met, wedding, honeymoon, plenty photos, joined finances, constant communication between sponsor and PA through text and video calls, husband (PA) communicates directly with sponsor's family, wife (sponsor) communicates regularly with PA's family, support letters from sponsor's and PA's family BUT sadly in our VO this is disregarded just because we are a mixed marriage, I am older and divorced and interview in this case is mandatory.

Look forward to experts giving insight on steps how best to proceed.

Am I correct that I should withdraw outland first and immediately apply inland? Also when outland app is withdrawn and inland application submitted should we write letter of explanation?

You would withdraw the outland application and then submit a brand new inland application. Processing times for the new application will restart from scratch. Sure, you can include a letter of explanation.

Be aware that processing times with inland applications can also be very extended if there are any concerns about your relationship.
