My husband and I have been married for 5 years and have been together for 10 years.
We have a three year old daughter together.
Our daughter and I are Canadian Citizens where as my husband is an Indian Citizen (with a valid 10 year Canadian Visa).
I moved back to India from Canada 5 years ago to get married and start a family
We want to relocate permanently to Canada as soon as possible , and are in the midst of debating the Inland vs. Outland Routes especially during these times.
Ideally, we would like to fly into the country and apply under Inland whilst applying for the Open Work Permit at the same time.
However I wanted to check if going this 'dual intent' route is advisable, especially as I, as Sponsor, shall be relocating to Canada after a 5 year absence myself.
I do not have a job in Canada - I am a freelancer and would be earning money from my assignments in India (as well as have proof of sufficient funds to cover the three year sponsorship requirements)
1) As a Sponsor, do I need to live in Canada for a stipulated period of time before we can file under the Inland Route?
2) My taxes as a non-resident are up to date, except for this year. I have recently filed them but have not received a Notice of Assessment for 2020. Would that be a problem?
What would you advise?
Thank you for your time!
