Hi all, applied for Family Class in Canada Spousal Sponsorship and the plan is to stay in Canada. Does applying for SOWP while in an Outland with Family Class grant maintained status? I am on visitor status from the United States. Plan is to stay here with my spouse, even if it is just implied status.

Of course I am aware nothing is guaranteed but the relationship has more evidence then requested and I am not worried about the final decision, so we just wanna plan. Alternative is to pull the app and change to inland as I don't really think I'll be leaving if I'm allowed to stay.
 
you need to apply for visitor record to maintain your visitor status
