Open work permits are for inland applications only. if your wife applies outland, she will not receive an open work permit. If your wife intends to leave Canada in the next two years, you are best advised to do an outland application.

Edited: We did not submit any notarized letters with our application, and only submitted a statutory declaration and had no issues, our application was processed and approved in five months. I don't think that is the norm, but I don't think the OP should worry just yet. Or, if they are...

Our photos were included in the relationship essay. PDF, with photos built into the essay. Black and white, small captions underneath. I believe we sent 15-18 photos max. I can't recall exactly now. Mostly the aim was to include photos from different vacations, or where my spouse or I met...

Spouse received his PR card in the mail Friday. 98 days from landing to receipt for anyone who is curious. :)

Is selling her car not an option? Four months is quickly! Yes it very well could take more than four months, and the OWP is a pilot project as well started in December of last year, so there isn't necessarily any guarantees your girlfriend would get an OWP anyhow. Your girlfriend will not...
