If you mean sponsoring children separately, there is no 'inland' distinction. That doesn't mean they can't be sponsored while inland, just that there's only one program (doesn't matter that they are in Canada or not).

If your question is about the out of status part: that shouldn't affect the app (I think). Doesn't benefit from the specific policy about removals - but it is quite rare that they actually do remove/deport children in this circumstance. Be honest about the status, take responsibility. I think you can apply to restore status for the child - I don't know if it will work or help though, especially if it's been quite some time since out of status.
thank you for the response. I will submit the PR application. As you mentioned, hopefully they will consider as it's a minor.

i put him as a supplementary credit card holder, showing receipts of airbnb, amazon, our wedding banquet contract, joint bank acct, life insurance beneficiary. If you have tfsa or rrsp, can also show him as beneficiary or title holder.

also if you have work health benefits, I provided proof that he claimed for vision/dental claims after our marriage.

Your issue is different. It's not related to IRCC.
If CRA request your spouse's income, you should put in his world income.
You can put down his income that is filed in his home country. Or a close estimate of his, if he hasn't filed it yet.
This is usually to determine things like child benefit or GSP refund.
You won't need to pay tax for his world income.
 
Hi
I need urgent help:

My wife was out of status since 2021 and we just received ADR about her unemployment history like how did she support her?
What should we submit as letter of explanation?
I was the who was financially supporting her but she did cash job for some time as well.
Please advise

You need to answer truthfully. You should indicate that you financially supported her and provide the details. She should also declare the details of the cash job (i.e. what the job was, how long she worked, when she stopped). Hopefully she is not still working the cash job.
 
Just for clarification: we got married in may 2024 , but were dating since 2021 . In the personal history form we submitted - she mentioned unemployment status from 2021. Now what should can be submitted as letter of explanation requested by ircc. Pls advise

I can't tell you what to write but it's very much recommended that honest answers be given to IRCC, including declaring any illegal work. If you want help with how to exactly respond, then you may want to hire an immigration lawyer to advise you.
 
Hi, everyone!

I am looking for some advice about my Inland Spousal Sponsorship in Canada Class.

I have been married to a Canadian citizen since May 2021 (almost three years of marriage). Been dating since 2017, known each other since 2011. I have been residing in Canada out-of-status since 2010.

My fear is that once I submit my application, IRCC/CBSA will be notified about my existence and detain me while my application is resolved?
Will my lack of status be a reason that the application might be denied?
I must write a letter of explanation about why I overstayed my visitor visa, however, I am not sure it that will be a sufficient explanation for breaking the law. I have already written this letter.
I have no idea if I have a Removal Order -> Deportation Order issued in my name, in that case my spousal sponsorship application will not be successful,

I also have a Canadian citizen family member (my aunt), therefore I have ties to Canada through my aunt and my spouse. If this could be of help to lift concerns about misrepresentation that my current lack of status might raise?

Any advice is welcomed as these fears are preventing me from submitting my application.
Hello, just thought to check in see if you have any updates with your application. We will be submitting soon and we are at gathering documents stage. Husband is in the same boat where he’s overstayed/out of status for years. Any tips for us? Thank you and all the best!
 
Yes, of course. lol
we wrote it like an affidavit style.
Explain everything in detail from the start, what you did, how you lost status.
Basically as detailed as you can so if they ever do call you in for an interview, that letter is your answer sheet.

Unfortunately I do not wish to elaborate on "how detailed" but you can definitely hire a consultant to review your application before submission. We did that

We admitted to his cash job, but I provided proof that prior from 6 months of application submission, I supported him financially.
Hi there, would you mind sharing which consultant or lawyer that you’ve used for your application? This whole process is overwhelming and since husband is out of status for years, we are exploring help! Google has way too many!! Thank you in advance!

If the only `red flag' is that your husband overstayed and is now without status...you can do this yourselves and save a lot of money! The Inland application waives the requirement for having legal status. He will have to disclose that he overstayed, but will not be penalized for his mistake. Just answer all questions honestly!

The only time the Public Policy that is in place to allow those without status to obtain PR through the Inland Spousal Sposorship program, would not apply, would be a person that is already deemed to be `Removal ready'.

Yes, the process is overwhelming but very doable! You will find all sorts of support/answers here.

Since he is without legal status, time is your enemy. Get the sponsorship application submitted ASAP.

Hi , what if the spouse has overstayed , did unauthorized study and work as well? SCLPC under public policy overcomes all these right?

There have been discussions about this, since the Public Policy language does not clearly detail if more than one can be applied. My guess is that it is NOT limited to just one.

We are gathering documents and eveything takes so much time, trying to figure out the time it will take to obtain the US police clearance too. Hence we thought we will look into consultation or lawyer to ease the stress! Other than overstaying for yearsssss…all is good. Thank you for the reply
