Inland spousal sponsorship - TFW to PR

[snip1514]

I need some help to get my below query answered. Hope someone can help check and respond.

I am working as a software engineer currently in Canada on a work permit. My wife and kids are also staying with me in Canada as dependents. I am thinking of applying for Canada PR alone (without spouse) and would like to know if my kids & wife would need to go back to home country if my application is selected for PR OR Is it possible that they continue to live with me in Canada since they will have valid visas while I start inland spousal sponsorship for them after getting my PR alone (without spouse). I know sponsorship may take time, I wanted to know if they can continue to be here in Canada and my kids can continue the school as well. Any issues that anyone knows OR anyone been in similar situation, please help.

They can stay here untill they have valid visitor/work/study permit.

Thanks @antoromeo18 for reply .

But since they are my dependents, their permit will expire once I transfer to PR from my work permit. OR Is it the case that their permits would remain valid (to current validity) even after I get my PR alone?

Their permit will be valid upto the expiry date. I also applied PR alone for me.my wife was with me in canada.
