I am living in Barrie Canada and going through the from Outside paperwork as well. Just curious if you can give me some tips on how you handled the 5490E. Because I have been living with my wife since last year after we got married and trying to do this honestly.

Thanks, reading about these hurdles and filing from outside seems to be the way to go. My Visa is good till August 2012 so I just need to renew it once more. I just need to talk to Immigration tomorrow about the medical since it was done inside Canada by one of the doctors they recommended.
