Good day to all,
I have a few question regarding this subject, in land application for Spousal Sponsorship.
I'm not in Canada, not sure if will be able to go, my husband and I intend to do Outland sponsorship, however we know this will take a long time apart. Given the chance to go to Canada I'm wondering if we could do inland Sponsorship. I'm from Peru, we are married almost a year and have no children. We got married in Las Vegas, USA. but it is also registered in Peru.
What documents do I need from my country to follow up a inland sponsorship, in Canada? birth certificate, ordinary criminal records?
If going to Canada with a Visitor visa, will this inland sponsorship be possible? Would i have to remain in Canada? for how long?, Would i need another type of visa, or an extension maybe?.
Thank you very much for your answers and support!
God bless!

the sponsor and the applicant must BOTH be physically present in Canada in order to apply inland. if both of you are not in canada for the duration of application processing, then you can not apply inland.

It is not clear who the sponsor is? Are you the sponsor or is your husband the sponsor? is the sponsor a canadian citizen or PR?

Hello,
may I also ask, how long does it, average, for inland sponsorship? Would a month of stay be enough?
From what I see on the website forms for inland sponsorship, I only need to bring over with me to Canada from my country, birth certificates, and police records, is that all? Besides marriage certificate.
Thank you for the answer!

A month would definitely not be enough. You must remain in Canada for the entire process for inland, which has taken up to 2 years. The government is aiming for 12 months, although there is no guarantee that they will meet that goal.
