Hi, I am getting married to my Fiance early July. She is from New York State and I live in Niagara, Ontario Canada. We met on a Christian dating app and have been together for 1.5 years. We see each other almost every week, have vacationed together, have met families...etc. We are evidently and undoubtedly in a genuine relationship.
We have had some assessments with immigration lawyers, and everyone says different things. So I will explain our situation and am looking for guidance.
I (Canadian) want to sponsor my fiance (american once we are married). We could apply for Inland or Outland, it just depends on what is best. We are not so concerned about final PR times, but the option for my fiance to be able to work faster. She could stay in the country for the entire period so we could do inland, but she also could go home to visit, but it is not entirely necessary.
We have been told she can apply inland for outland sponsorship and could apply for an OWP once she has AOR, but we've heard conflicting opinions on this from lawyers.
We also are not sure what to do if she comes to Canada, applies for inland, and has to leave after 6 months as a visitor. Can we extend that time?
We get married in under 3 weeks and need help!
