    Sponsoring spouse

    You're welcome! If she plans to remain in Canada during the processing of the application and decides to submit an Outland application, she will need to maintain legal status; only the Inland application waives the requirement for legal status. Also, she would be wise to have proof of travel...

    Sponsoring spouse

    U.S. citizens do not need/get a visitor visa. She can always apply to extend her stay as a visitor, BUT...you should not assume that she automatically will be given 6 months initially. It is true that most U.S. citizens will get `the maximum', but it also depends on how questions, if asked from...

    Visitor to common law

    You'll likely need more evidence than that. Read through the application Guide/Instructions to get an idea of what is required. If your visitor application is rejected, and you have submitted an Inland application, it will not automatically mean that it will [also] be rejected.

    Clarification on open work permit for spousal application

    If you submitted an Inland application (known as the SCPLC application), he does not need to apply for restoration (again).

    Visitor to common law

    Firstly...if you have cohabited together for 365 days or more, you are eligible to apply for spousal sponsorship. This also means that your bf is NOT your bf; they are [now] your Common Law partner. ;) You can now apply for sponsorship but need to have solid evidence of meeting that 365...

    Inland or Outland? Not living together

    Is it only a requirement to be cohabiting if you submit an inland (SCPLC) application. You cannot submit an Inland application. Since you are no longer living together, be sure to include evidence that your relationship is continuing, albeit in separate homes.

    Medical Exam when extend to stay after PR application

    It's important to know that medical exam results could impact the approval of a visitor visa, but may NOT impact a PR applicant, since the only barriers are things like active TB for a Family Class (spousal) PR applicant.

    Delay in PR Card

    Since you say you have LANDED, that would mean you are a PR...just haven't received your card. Is that correct? It was not a Canada Post issue...but it is now. Call IRCC and hope you reach a human; a human that can give you answers. You could also submit a web form...

    PR Card Renewal Disruption of Canada Post services

    Contact Canada Post and ask if they are processing/delivering Government mail. I see that they are delivering Government checks, but not sure about PR Cards. It may also depend, in part, on whether or not your mail is delivered to a community type mail box, versus home delivery to your home...

    Sorry to hear you're separating. I do have a question. You state that your spouse `is also from Canada'. What was her status in Canada when you met; what was her status when the sponsorship application was submitted? Q1. She does not need to renounce her PR Status. Unless you can provide...
