If you are not physically present IN Canada, you cannot submit an Inland application.

Sounds like an Outland application is your only option. Just so you know, even with an Outland application EVERYTHING is sent together (all forms, supporting documents, the proof of your marriage, etc.) all gets mailed in one `big' envelope (or box) to Mississauga, Ontario (Canada) and then they [CIC] sends your part of the application to Trinidad.

Good luck!

The sticky at the top of the family sponsorship forum has helpful information on Inland vs. Outland:

If you apply outland it looks as though your application will go through Port of Spain, you can check out the thread for that visa office here:

Have a look on the Post of Spain forum ... This will give you some ideas of how people from Trinidad have filled out the forms. Love Trinidad by the way :D
