PR application while visiting in canada under visitor visa

[bkodiamond]

Hello all,

I have applied to express entry and received an invitation to apply to PR. I am currently visiting canada under a valid visitor visa. Can I apply for PR while in canada or do I need to leave Canada first?

Thanks for your help

You can apply while you are in Canada (legally of course).

Great! Thank you for replying. Couldn't find a written confirmation on CIC's website.
