Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[Pearl1]

I'm only trying to help, by sharing information with you. If you choose to focus on the semantics, you might have a huge problem on your hands.


Good luck...whatever you decide.

i am thankful for the info and did not mean to offend anyone.

was just trying to get more clarification. most of the wording used by cic is ambiguous. never know what they are gonna do.

Maintaining legal status

Spouses and common law partners of Canadian citizens and permanent residents in Canada who wish to apply for permanent resident status are required to have legal immigration status in order to qualify under the Spouse or Common-law partner in Canada class.


Yet, the instructions for answering question 10 on IMM 0008, still says this:

For out-of-status applicants:

Under “Status” select “Other”;
Under “Other” type in “Out of status, requires restoration”;
Leave the “From” and “To” boxes blank.

Ponga, I figured it out.
Public policy allows out-of-status applications under Inland spousal category.
Application guide 5289 emphasizes "Maintaining status", which means applicants should not allow their status go invalid.
They are 2 different things.
