Spousal permit in canada

[Kellymae]

Hi, we got married in Canada. My husband is currently on a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), and I am in Canada on a visitor visa. Can I stay in Canada while my husband applies for permanent residence? If yes, do I need to extend my visitor status, or is it okay to stay while the permanent residence application is in process?

You need to extend your visitor status. The PR application does not give you maintained status.
