Default Can I bring my Canadian GF with me to the UK?

So I've been reading about the spouce and unmarried visa (we have lived together for quite a few years) I couldn't find a clear answer.

If we wanted to move to the UK and I had a job lined up, can she come with me? Or does she need to have the spouce visa before entering? Is there anyway she can come with me and get a visa from in the Uk?

Would really suck for her to be here in Canada and me in the Uk while her visa processes.

Thanks

Savings route allows you to jump the queue. You got £67,000 ?

Visas to live in the UK need to be applied for from the home country.

You need to sponsor her for a settlement visa.

Read the following website to see how you apply:

https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa

You would need to meet the financial requirements: Read the following to see how you could qualify:

If girlfriend has British or European ancestry she might qualify for visa under her own right.

If she is between 18 and 30 she could also qualify for the Tier 5 Youth mobility visa

The savings route is £62,500 and it doesn't allow you to 'skip the queue'.

You asked these questions before. You'll need to give more information before anyone can help you.
