Can a permanent residence applicant outside Canada come to Canada in the meantime?

If my girlfriend and I have applied for her to become a permanent resident under the sponsor your conjugal partner program, but that she lives outside of Canada at the moment and I am in Canada, is it possible for her to join me here since she has a multiple entries (6months) temporary residence (visa)?

I'm curious because I know foreigners who apply for permanent residences from within Canada are not supposed to leave the country while it's being processed.

(I know she wouldn't be able to work but we would really like to be together and she can do things like learn French and volunteering to stay busy while this happens)

Thanks!

Yes, she can use the Visa to visit you while her PR application is pending.

If she has a TRV how do you qualify for conjugal sponsorship? There are no immigration barriers preventing you from being common law or getting married.

If she has a TRV, you don't qualify for conjugal. You will likely waste a year or more before being refused. You should withdraw the conjugal app and either marry or become common-law in Canada.
