yeah that's what we're hoping to do... but the CIC website when I checked said 11 months for processing outland. Do they usually inflate so not to give hope?

Yeah no we lived together April 2012-September 2012 in England and then did long distance until June 2013 when he arrived in Canada and we moved in together. So our common law "officially" begins June 1st of this year. I think we're going to end up doing Outland application because from the...

Knowing that we'd always be going back to the UK eventually I had her microchipped with ISO when she got spayed last month. I just didn't think it might be this soon... We'd need to update her rabies booster and get her tapeworm test done, have a medical certificate completed by the vet and...

Oh okay, yeah that's fine... That's how we understood it anyways. Thanks!

Well that conflicts with what someone else said... Sorry, but which is it?

So even if it's for a week or two just to get everything sorted - because basically at this point we're literally left with 4 weeks to get everything prepared either to do a PR app or move back to the UK (which includes taking a dog, my own passport is up for renewal this year, packing etc)...

Everywhere I've looked says that there's a 90 grace period following most visas. That being said IEC tends to be a little different and more complicated than other temporary work permits because it's a 1 year only scheme. But it's also recognized as being a TRV - so, does anyone know whether you...

No, unfortunately it doesn't. The reason I'm so doubtful about getting an LMO is I know for a fact the moment his employer posts his position online he'll have hundreds of applicants. He's just a product receiver in a factory, it's not a specific skilled job. Anyone could go and do it, I could...

I think he's gonna bring it up but honestly I'm not hopeful at all...

Yes I understand that part. I didn't know he could do an Outland application and be in Canada while it's being processed. I understand that visitors cannot work our problem is he the provider and I'm staying at home to work on my novel. Were willing to get married if it's worth our while and can...

Yeah well the whole point is he doesn't want to go back to the UK just yet. You mean a PR from Outland can't work at all or can't work after 8months... That's a given I guess since he'd be waiting in England lol. Answering my own questions now... Yeah I know which is why I'm saying his...

No I meant the uk... To kill time until the wedding. Ugh... Why is Canada so slow? I feel like were the only country this complicated besides the US. But that's good to know. Thank you. Well would an LMO from a distribution center manager be acceptable and not from the head office...

Oh so you'd need to have a PR app on the table for an OWP? Okay... Well that takes it off the table. And Sponsorship approval takes 8 months? CIC quoted 34 days on the website. Or is there a different stage one? Sorry I feel so stupid about this stuff... Me going into the UK was so much easier...

Could he do an OWP? Is that an option for a UK citizen we were under the impression that it wasn't an option for him considering his job skills/education. Even if he has to wait for the reply we MIGHT be able to get a temporary leave from work long enough to excuse him to get the OWP approve...

This was what I was worried about. Basically were SOL in terms of him keeping his job in Canada and our best bet is for us to just go back to the uk where he can work and I stay on the visitors visa, leave in six months to say visit home and then return on a fiancé visa which gives us 6 months...

Alright, here is our situation: My fiance came over to Canada to live with me last June. I am a born Canadian citizen. He came over on a temporary working holiday visa as he is not a skilled worker, nor earning enough to make him "valuable" - he never even went to college. Our wedding date is...
