What does Sponsor approval look like? Where did you check that ? My eligibility shows completed on the tracker, but not sure if this has anything to do with the sponsor approval.

@Deividas THe Sponsor Approval will be sent to the Sponsor's email. And it looks like this:

Date: XXXXX UCI: XXXXXXX Application: FXXXXXX - INLAND SCLP [Barcode] Sponsor Name Address Sponsor Name This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class you submitted to this office on behalf of Principal Applicant and family (if applicable). You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. The Application for Permanent Residence (APR) for your relative will be processed separately and he/she will be contacted shortly. If you received this communication via email, please note that another copy will not be mailed to you.

------

This is how the PA Approval / AIP mail looks like (I received this via snail mail / post):

Date: XXXXX UCI: XXXXXX Application: FXXXXXX-INLAND SCLP [Barcode] Principal Applicant Address Principal Applicant, This refers to the Application for Permanent Residence you made under the Spouse or Common- Law Partner in Canada Class It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. Please note that a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not applying to join you in Canada at this time. You cannot become a permanent resident untilyou and all your family members have met these requirements

*Note: That is just the snippet of the letters / First few paragraphs from the letters.

Hello all,
I have a doubt. My wife entered Canada with her visitor visa in April and her PR application is in process as per the timeline I mentioned above.

In order to stay more than 6 months as a visitor in Canada, do we need to apply for visitor visa extension as her PR application is in process ?

Thanks in advance

As far as I am aware, once you applied inland, you have implied status and no need to apply for a visitor extension. Others may correct me if I am wrong.

I believe Implied status only applies for Temporary Resident permits (e.i. Work Permit, Visitor Permit, etc) not for P.R. so you should apply for a visitor record. That is what I did.

My Timelines is as follows,

First Application submitted 12/04/2023

We applied for an open work permit with her AOR as well. So will it be consider as an implied status ?

Thanks.

If you applied for OWP your wife should be good! She has implied status until a decision is made on the OWP/ or if she gets the PR first.
