london applicant- inland or Outland? risks of inland?

[Brit-in-Alberta]

Hello everyone.

I'm from the uk and I was due to send an outland common law app this week. With the slowing down of London I am considering inland. Reasons : My iec is up on July and I Can only afford to live off savings for a year and many UK applicants are now at a year or more wait. Reason 2: I know many applications were remaining in in canada to help with the back log but that's luck of the draw and I haven't seen any cases of this the past month.

Inland was never an option as outland was always the better choice but now outland seems like a big gamble. Being unable to work for over a year would be a big strain on my relationship and would likely lead to me needing to return to the uk for work. Howe've if everything starts speeding up again I know I'm going to kick myself. Such an annoying situation.

So I'm here asking for opinions on what you would so. Inland or Outland? With inland what are the risks in terms of leaving the country gor vacations etc?

1. Outland the posted processing times for London (28 months) is because they are processing the Pakistanii applications as well. A UK citizen processed outland is probably looking at less than 11 months through London. If you look at the spousal sponsorship timelines from British Expat, it will make your decision a lot easier. http://tinyurl.com/opojja5
