Inland Spousal Sponsorship with a Visitor Visa?

[usussy]

Hello all, I'm trying to figure out whether this is a valid path for someone to take but: if you're a USA citizen with a Canadian common-law partner can you go to Canada as a visitor and then apply for PR with Inland Spousal Sponsorship while up there and then stay until approval/denial with Implied Status? Is this okay to do? Would you even be allowed into the country if you said that was the purpose for your visit? Not trying to be sneaky here. Just don't know what the most straight forward path would be.

Yes you can do this but you can't move to Canada yet you will only be visiting. If asked you should be honest about your plans.
