If you apply outland, there is no sponsor interview for your partner.

If you apply outland, there is no sponsor interview for your partner.

You may, as I was, be asked where they are, but that's all. In my case, I responded, "At home, looking after the dog."
The CBSA officer didn't even blink but carried out the landing process at Pearson.

Thanks all for the messages! I am indeed a citizen. I have little savings and not much earning potential at the moment since I'm still in school, but my partner does (he's graduated and will soon have a job, although it's short contract). Would that, plus statements of support from our parents, suffice?



I've only seen outland discussed in contexts where the sponsored person is living outside Canada- it's fine for the sponsor to be outside the country as well then? To clarify, do you mean I would have to be interviewed when I reenter Canada, and not called back when I'm out of the country?

That's fine.

Sponsor and applicant can be anywhere in the world for an outland app. You won't be interviewed.
