Hi there!
So me and my fiancé have recently moved to the UK (I'm English she's Canadian), we met while I was in Canada on a working holiday visa. Our plan was to move here and settle down, however she is finding life here much more difficult than she thought she would and is really struggling to adjust. She is now talking of wanting to move back to Canada, which I have absolutely no problem with as I loved my time there.
My problem is that it can take a year for me to apply for permanent residence and she is thinking of moving back and living apart for that time. After looking online at bridging visa options it seems that I'd still need to be in Canada and have time left on my visa to apply for one, my visa does run until the end of January but with Christmas coming up it doesn't seem like enough time for me to get back there and complete an application. So I suppose my question is if anyone has any kind of idea what my options from here could be? I'd really appreciate any kind of help as I love her and it's so difficult to see her being so unhappy.
