You can definitely be in Canada while the application is being processed outside Canada: I did just that. However, you want to get your work visa before you apply for permanent residence, especially if you are getting a Working Holiday Visa (not sure about regular visa). It's not cheating!

Me and my partner are both currently in the UK. We are going to apply for residency for me- he will sponsor me (he's Canadian). Would it be possible to apply from outside Canada (as its much quicker) and then enter on a work visa before the application process has completed? Or are there rules about not entering the country during applicaton? Would it some how be cheating? I've scoured the CIC and can't seem to find any info. thanks for your help, really great website you've created, joe Hi,

Then as far as I know, you cannot have a second Working Holiday Visa. If your boyfriend isn't a landed immigrant with permanent residence, he cannot sponsor you. Hello,

I assume you are a UK citizen, right? Then as far as I know, you cannot have a second Working Holiday Visa.

If your boyfriend isn’t a landed immigrant with permanent residence, he cannot sponsor you.

I am living in the UK with my boyfriend who has Canadian Residency. We are planning on moving back and he is going to Sponsor me. I am entitled to one more 1 year working holiday visa (I've used the other one). The first part of the application if we do it within Canada takes 1 year, and I'm worried it won't be complete before my visa runs out. But if we apply from the UK the first part only takes 2 months. SO - can we apply from here, then move to Canada while the second part is being processed? (we have to be back so his residency doesn't expire) Or do we have to remain in the UK for the entire process? Also on a side note is it OK for him to sponsor me when he is still being sponsored by his ex?! crazy times. thank you! em Hi, thank you for the information!

I am Dutch, and my boyfriend is Canadian. We met in March 2010 and we lived together in Amsterdam until October. Unfortunately not officially, as he still had his own apartment. He moved back to Canada in October and I am joining him in August (1 week to go!). We've been apart for 10 months now. I know we can only apply for Common Law partners in August 2012, because we need to have lived together for at least 1 year. But how about marriage? Further, I am entering on a tourist visa at first, hopefully being able to extend it for another 6 months. Of course I hope to find a job w/ a work permit in the meantime, but seeing where we will live, not likely. I looked at the skilled worker option, but that seems quite difficult as well. Do we get married and then apply from within Canada? I basically cannot go back to Holland, because I have no job here and I've sub-let my house. I am quit confused about what would be our best option. If we do not marry and go for common-law, I can only apply for this in August 2012. How long does an application take and can I wait in Canada? Probably not, because I would have used my 12 months tourist visa already..... What to do? Thanks for taking the time! Anna/Amsterdam Hi Zhu,

Once the sponsor is approved, you will get a letter saying the application has been transferred to XX visa (not sure there is a visa office in Madagascar though, the application could be processed in a neighboring country. You should send the sponsor part of the application (I'm assuming you are the sponsor) and your wife has to fill up the rest I believe.
