Scenario;

Married couple living in the USA (husband in CDN) are looking to move back to Canada. Wife (US citizen) is expecting a second child in about 7 months time and their main concern is having OHIP when they move back.

They can apply outland or inland but would prefer outland because of the faster processing times and flexibility with regard to travel. Wife will not get OWP (and then OHIP) with outland. If they apply outland, is there any way for her to get a work permit as well?

She may have a job offer from a relative here who owns a large company but they do not know how to get a LMIA and probably will not want to be bothered with it. They would hire her as a graphic designer or interior designer. She has certificates in graphic design and interior design from a post secondary institution but only has 2 years work experience.

1) Is it possible to do an Outland application and also get a work permit?
2) Can she apply through NAFTA?
3) Should she try at POE?
4) Should she include WP application with their PR application?
