Hi I am a British citizen and have applied for spousal sponsorship inland. I came on a tourist visa (180 days) and have well overstayed by around a year, I received a letter stating my application has been processed onto the Right of permanent residence fee stage, having said this I still need a legal status within Canada, I also applied for a work permit which when I called cic was on hold due to no eligible status in this moment of time and will be decided by July of 2016 what can I do to obtain a legal status, can I apply for a temporary visitors visa even though I have overstayed for so long?
