Inland application inquiry

[Sandrye]

Greetings!!
I sponsored my girl friend who is from Spain and who currently lives with me on a Working Visa. We've been living together for over 2 years here in Toronto.

We applied for 2 applications; common law and for an extended working permit. CIC and from previous forums explained that the working permit application will be determined once the first stage process happens for the common law application.

We sent BOTH applications together (inland common law and work permit) last year Jan 2014 and they said they received the sponsorship in June 2014 and the open work permit in August 2014.

We have implied status but our concerns are:
-My girlfriend /soon to be common law is dealing with health issues that could lead to surgery and medication best suited in Spain.
-During her 2 years in Canada, 1.5years waiting for a PR response, her mother started battling cancer and under went chemo therapy, We feel the need to go back to Spain for at least 1 month to comfort and be with her mother as she is recuperating from the therapy.

- We plan to get married but are worried about losing or re starting the Application because we left the Canada during Implied Status.

We dont mind restarting the application or perhaps getting married and re applying?

We would love for insight, experienced stories and feedback from anyone who can advise us what to do or what options we may have over looked.

We want to prepare for the worst case scenario but we do not want to be separated from each other. My friend got married in Japan and they received their PR after 6 months.

Thank you very much for your response.

If your girlfriend leaves Canada, she will indeed lose her implied status. Since you applied Jan 2014, you will probably get a response very soon (they are working on Jan/Feb right now). Are you able to just hold on for a few weeks? Likely you will get stage 1 and 2 approval within that time.

If not, the you could just leave and "chance it" and try to get back in. If your girlfriend can, all would be well. If not, then the inland application would be gone and you'd have to start again (and I'd suggest outland).

If you head on over to the "inland applications 2014" thread, or click on the link in my signature, you can see the inland timeline and there are many in Jan/Feb who are getting a response. I myself was a Dec 2013 application (inland) and have stage 1 & 2 approval now. You're almost there.
