Subject: Difference in Canada PR applications
  My husband is moving to Canada from USA and applying for PR. We are wondering which application is best to use.

On the site page http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/times/process-in.html there is 2 applications.

1 is under - Permanent Residence Applications - Spouse or Common-Law Partner Class
Which takes 5 months for the first step

2 is under - Sponsorship Applications - Spouse, Common-Law or Conjugal Partner and Dependent Children
Which takes 32 days for the first step

Why are there 2 applications for getting a PR and which have you chosen, also how were the results and processing times?

Any help in choosing the right application would be appreciated.
Thank you.

There are two stages in process.

First if you are a Canadian citizen or Permanent resident of Canada and you are in Canada with your husband you must apply first as your husband`s sponsor. If your application goes through your husband may apply as a permanent resident from within Canada.

If both of you are outside of Canada and you are a Canadian citizen you may still elegible as a sponsor.
In my opinion is safer to apply from outside of Canada , because if your application as sponsor doesn`t go through you can appeal the decision or your husband may apply under other category.
If it happens while he is in Canada and you are not approved as sponsor he might be under a risk of been removed from Canada.

I asked someone at CIC what the application difference was. She said one is faster then the other and that you can appeal the one that is processed outside of canada.

She said it didnt matter it he was in Canada or not to apply for the application thats done outside canada////
