Have you two lived together for at least 1 year?

No she has been living with me as a visitor since 18 Aug 19

Thank you so much for your reply

Hi I have some questions about starting the process for inland application.

I reside in Ontario and my fiance is staying with me here from Mexico on visitor visa.

Her visitor status expires 18 feb 20 but we applied to extend her stay 6 months 23 dec 19.

My understanding is that once we are married we can start the spousal sponsorship. We are planning to get married in the next 3 weeks.

Are the timelines too tight?

Will she have to return to Mexico?

Should I consult a lawyer?

I am in the Hamilton area if anyone has any recommendations. I am extremely newbie and can really appreciate any help.

Best,

Logan

Inland application, and i just do it by myself through reading about spousal sponsorship in the cic website, its an Opw+pr application, the most important is you need to make your visa always extended for safety specially if you added opw application.

If your visa will expire make sure to extend it specially if your waiting for your opw application

Yes we have already applied to extend her visitor visa because 6 months expires on 18 feb 20. We're only concerned that if we process the full PR application for SS with OWP her visitor status can expire before we have any tangible progress.

I rely on cic calculation summary, and they return it because of insufficient fund and that cause a lot of days wasted. Before you submit make sure all Signatures provided, just follow the basic guide and read it, it helps a lot,
