Extension of Tourist Visa for Inhouse Application

[victorjorge]

hello,

so im thinking of sponsoring my wife as soon as she arrives in Canada. Do we still need to extend her tourist visa so that she could stay in Canada for much longer? or if I sponsored her through inhouse application it wouldnt matter?

WHile she is in Canada she needs to have a valid status. PR applications DO NOT grant any kind of status.

thanks for the reply. isnt that what the inhouse application is for? so that she could stay inside while waiting for the application?

What is this "inhouse" thing you are talking about? Can you provide a link to the type of application you have in mind?

sorry i keep saying inhouse, thats supposed to be inland...

anyways, i just checked that even before we could do an inland application, the problem is getting the tourist visa itself so that she could go into canada.

With a TRV she can come to Canada, when she arrives she will be granted a visitor status. You can then submit her PR application. If you want her to wait with you for the PR application to be completed then extensions to the visitor status have to be filed for as long as the application process lasts.
