Sounds like you've laid out most of the pros and cons yourself :) Outland takes less time, but the Inland has the benefit of getting the OWP. Be aware that with an Inland app it is expected that your wife will not leave Canada. She will have Implied Status while her app is processing which means...

In my opinion you have a pretty strong case for showing ties back to the UK, which is what they want to see. The funds are there to support her stay, and she has a return ticket. She'll get a few questions, but I doubt they would have any concerns.

Hi there, If you're asking about whether you need to submit the ORIGINAL birth certificate and marriage certificate with your PR application, the answer is no -- they can (and should) be copies.

I guess I learned something new today :)

Hey there Ponga :) I hate disagreeing with the obvious veterans of this site :) but are you SURE about that? I checked this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=748&t=22 and it really seems like there is no distinction in COPR's, whether they are mailed to inland or outland...

I don't personally have experience doing so (I drove my wife to Rainbow Bridge and flagpoled with her), but I know that a sponsor does not have to be present for someone to land. After landing, your spouse would be completely free to return immediately to Europe. The clock will start ticking on...

1) A photocopy of your birth certificate would suffice for your sponsorship app. (Document Checklist, item #13). 2) Since your husband will be applying Outland, there's no travel restrictions for the two of you between Canada and the U.S. It doesn't really matter which passport you use, although...

You can enter anywhere.

Yep :)

The address looks fine since you say you're sending it by courier. I wouldn't worry about mentioning the contents on the envelope. Make sure you're actually sending BOTH your sponsorship application AND your spouse's application in that same package.

He can certainly request it now if he has the fingerprint card to send in. It will take probably 5-8 weeks to come in, so if you're ready to file soon after that, all the better. Make sure he gets the upfront medical as well.

The FBI accepts digital fingerpints. There's a specific card they go on that the fingerprinting agency should print them out on. My wife did that with no issues.

The second one. Definitely NOT the third one. A TRP is a document that is generally issued (for a fee of $200) to someone who is otherwise deemed inadmissible to Canada. For example, someone with a past criminal record who is being allowed in by a CBSA agent on compassionate grounds or something.

The police report and the Option C MUST be original. Same with the upfront medical receipt form (if you were provided one). As taffy7 has done, everything else can, and probably should be a photocopy. While results have varied in this forum, you should NOT actually expect to get anything back...

I don't think there's any advice from an immigration perspective that anyone here can give you. If you're married to this person, and there's another guy in the picture who "insists" she belongs to him, you probably need to get the authorities involved.

Rainbow bridge probably accounts for 90% of my crossings in the last 5 years. It's very hit or miss...sometimes I will go through in 5 minutes, sometimes we will be stuck on the bridge (backed up to the US side, even) for over an hour. My wife actually landed there in 2013 and we had virtually...

If your child was born in Canada, they will be a Canadian citizen by default. If you were a naturalized Canadian citizen and they were NOT born in Canada, they will still be a Canadian citizen. So by and large this does not affect your husband's PR sponsorship since the child does not need to be...

That's right :) You would need your passport to come back into Canada, after all. Now, I don't remember if there is a time limit on the Passport Request, but if you do happen to receive it while you are abroad, you may be able to contact them (state your case number) saying you are travelling...

The Medical Condition Statement is essentially a statement you sign indicating that you are aware of any adoptive child's medical condition. No, you do not need this for your spouse :) Your spouse still DOES need a medical exam, so just make sure you're not confusing the two concepts :)

There should be no problems with the travel since you have applied Outland, which basically lets you travel to and from Canada, so long as you satisfy the entry requirements every time, which it sounds like you will. I have no idea of the current timeframes for your Visa Office (wherever your...
