Is it unusual for spouse-in-canada class ("inland") applications to be sent in when the foreign spouse is only here on a six-month temporary visitor permit. My partner is from a visa-exempt country so doesn't even have a visa--only an eTa. Is this pretty common? or, on the other hand, is it unusual (perhaps even complicating things or making the application difficult)?

I'm asking because I'm realizing that even though we have lived together for months at a time, and been doing long-distance relationship for 2+ years, that we have basically no bills (utility, phone, etc) with both our names on it. Nor do we have own property, nor a vehicle. And at the moment I can't even get my partner's name on the lease/rental agreement of my apartment (but that could change soon).

Every time we lived together during our relationship, each of us was just a "tourist" / visitor to the other's country. Now, I'm thinking this could make it more difficult to satisfy some of the criteria for "proof of relationship: proof of living together" section of the sponsorship application. Is it okay to show on an inland application proof that we lived together in a home outside Canada?

I'd love to hear from others who are, or have been, in the same situation and how they satisfied this.

Hello Everyone,
I am here in Canada as a tourist. My husband is a PR. I am going to apply Spousal PR/sponsorship(inland). But I am stuck at the PCC part in the process. I would appreciate this groups help here please:

For applying for PR, i first need to get Police clearance certificate form India. As we are based out of Alberta my CGI is Vancouver ( basis the BLS website). I have three concerns here.
a) My permanent address as mentioned on the passport and my current address in India are different as my parents recently shifted to anther house. I don't have any address proof of that place. How should i go about this? Would there be a problem?
b) The other concern is that CGI Vancouver states that- Those on tourist visa can't apply for PCC. The proof of status in Canada should be wither work permit or study permit. I don't have either.
c) They need proof of address in Canada. Since i have just come here and am on Tourist visa right now, i don't have any proof of address. I went to get added in my husband's bank account thinking that may help, but the bank says they can't do it as I am tourist visa. So how can I have an address proof here? Please advise.

After I get the PCC sorted, I will get into filling the application form and applying for Open Work Permit simultaneously. I will seek the groups expertise at that time. Looking forward to responses. Thanks a lot
