But what doesn't make any sense is some of the inland and outland forms are different and at the top of the page, it says sponsorship Common-law, spouse Outland. Also when filling the forms in, it would be hard to do do as it asks where you live. If you were filling the wrong forms in, you would surely have noticed.
@ jg84
First of all, I'd like to tell you that I don't have any intention to harm you. English is not my mother language. Though I try to watch what I say, I might make mistakes and/or I might use impolite expressions. If I do, I'm so sorry.
I checked the website and compared some forms of Inland and Outland, for example, IMM1344 (Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking), IMM0008 (Generic Application Form for Canada). Those are same forms.
Her husband was approved as a sponsor, it means that step1 was passed. (They applied for PR on June 2013.) This makes sense if their application was accepted as Outland. As you know, Inland applicants usually don't get their AIP within a couple of months after sending applications.
@ Room75
If you reads this, I'd like to ask you. Did you receive an e-mail from CIC after your husband was approved as a sponsor? The e-mail is like this? (bold added by me)
If YES, you can apply for OWP. And this means that your application for PR was accepted as INLAND.
If NO, were you announced that your application was transferred to the visa office which is outside of Canada? (This means that your application was accepted as Outland.)
This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law
partner in Canada class.
It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent resident
status as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. However, a final
decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident
have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you
and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not
applying to join you in Canada at this time. You cannot become a permanent resident until you
and all your family members have met these requirements.
You may now apply for an open work permit, which will allow you to work in the occupation and
location of your choice. You may also apply for a study permit. If applying for a study permit
please ensure you include a letter from the educational institution you plan to attend. The letter
should outline the type of course or program for which you are registered, the start date and the
expected completion date. To obtain the correct forms please visit the Citizenship and
Immigration Canada Internet web site at [http://www.cic.gc.ca] or contact the Immigration Call
Centre at the number indicated below.
Passports for yourself and your family members must be valid for the duration of your stay in
Canada.
Anyway, when Room75 calls CIC, she will know where her application is (Whether Inland or Outland).
