Hi, I am a Canadian citizen staying in the Philippines with the plan to marry my gf there and then sponsor her back to Canada with me. I have no intention of returning to Canada to apply. So I guess this is called outland. But my question is.. WHERE do we mail the completed application...

He is older, will be receiving pension in a few years and I believe he is living off savings, has minimal expenses and they just want a simple life. So OUTLAND application, not sure he knows that, the site is confusing and thanks a lot, you have been very helpful
