Hello, I am sponsoring my Italian spouse for permanent residence. We are unsure of which application to send, the inside Canada or outside Canada. He has been living in Canada with me for a few years now returning to Italy periodically to visit family and keep work contacts. While in Canada he is here as a Visitor. Our dilemma is that we are very confused about which method to process our application. He would like to be able to visit Italy as his mother is a senior, and we would also like to take an international trip. But the concern is what if there are issues upon re-entry into Canada, as that may jeopardize our application.
We were at first planning on sending the application as In Canada so he can also apply for a work permit. But this is secondary to us at this point. Both process times are similiar now, I believe at being around the 12 months mark.
Another question is, is he allowed to drive while waiting for the application to be processed? We live in Vancouver, BC. Any assistance will be appreciated!
