Hi everyone,
My spouse is sponsoring me for Permanent Residency on the Family Category. (Common-Law Partner)
We are INSIDE Canada, so it will take longer than if I was outside Canada. However, that's how we decided to do it. I applied only a month ago and it might take up to 18 months to process.
I was told by friends that if I start a new application (PR) it wouldn't matter that my VISITOR visa is running out. I'd be allowed to stay on a visitor status until the new application finishes processing.
That said, I would like to ask other members if this information is correct because my visa runs out in 15 days and I don't want to be here illegally.
Thank you!
