Please supply your opinion, I would be totally grateful. It would help if you can tell me why your information is reliable.
I am Alexander, Canadian, and I live in London, UK, with my partner Chiara. We want to move to my home town (Vancouver, Canada) together, as soon as possible. We would like for her to be able to work there, with minimum possible wait. We have read and understood the conditions for family sponsorship, believing we fulfill them, and we think this method would be the safest and most effective way for us. From the pertinent webpage, it seems the processing time differs, depending on where the applicant lives when making the application. What does this "live" mean? Can we go to Vancouver, her as a tourist on holiday, and apply from there, while she is already getting used to the new place and adjusting? Would the processing time be shorter this way, than applying from here in the UK?
Also: could she apply for a temporary "working holiday" permit to use during the time in which the sponsorship application is being processed? While I am able and willing to fully support her (financially and otherwise), to be able to work would be more fulfilling for her, equating in a more balanced relationship for us.
We do think this is all feasible, as a Vancouver immigration lawyer has offered to do it for us, but charging a high sum we do not want to spend. We would like a reliable official answer from you, and then accomplish these steps ourselves.
Kindest regards,
Alexander
