I've read the spousal sponsorship sticky post - it's cleared a bit of confusion that I've been having, but I'm hoping someone will be able to clarify a few things.
I am a Canadian citizen who wants to sponsor my wife, who is an American. Some of my questions that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on:
- As I understand it, Americans do not require a visa to enter Canada. If we apply for sponsorship outland can she still come to Canada and leave any time while the sponshorship is being processed?
- How long is she allowed to stay in Canada while the sponsorship is being processed? Can she come visit me for say 3 months, then go back to the US for a month, and come back again for another visit?
- Is she allowed to apply for a work permit while the sponsorship is being processed?
- From the looks of it, applying outland seems to have more benefits like being able to appeal. Is it also faster?
Thanks very much in advance!
