Hi PMM.
thank you so much for your help so far.
i am trying to avoid sending my family application to India as it is difficult to get any replies or information and takes a lot of time to get the visa, not to mention that its costly . Also given the strike , its going to be delayed even further .
However , i do realize that i do not have any option but to send it to India if i need TRV .
However , my wife is eligible for open work permit (as I belong to a skilled worker category) . What if i apply for her work permit first and then she becomes eligible to apply for TRV ( along with my minor son ) from within Canada ? Anyway she wanted to apply for work permit but was unsure .
I was again speaking to an CIS agent yesterday and he told me about this option. He also suggested that i can get her work permit either by online application (less time consuming) or by sending the documents to Aggreville Alberta ( time consuming) by mail or by FLAG-POLING at the nearest Canada-US border ( the quickest way). In my case the nearest border is at Ogsdenburg .
I wish to know your opinion about this option and about flag poling . I know it ll cost 150 bucks extra but atleast i can keep a track of things and might still be faster and cheaper than sending it to India.
