My questions exactly, and here's what 1116 has responded to me ...
"I do not think its inland alone its both because they use the term reunite. Inland means that the applicant and sponsor is in Canada."
"I just confirm its outland application mostly."
"I check twitter and today I call the immigration."
So, that's the latest on it. I personally don't understand how 66% more decision makers in Canada are going to help speed up the processing of outland applications when those applications spend so much time overseas in visa offices. But what do I know?!
