One more thing what did you put as your address in your PR application. It ask there for both your Mailing address and residential address (point 14 and 15 in "Application for permanenet Residence in caanda" form). Did you put your canada address in either or both of them or back home Brazil address in both.
Did you also mention in application in section where it ask for the foreign countries you have visited with dates in last 10 years that you are currenlty in canada at the time of application.
I also want to thank everyone for your replies. It seems from everybody's replies like it is ok to apply for PR even if the person being sponsored is in canada on visitor visa.
As far as applying without FBI clearance seems to be 50-50 case as there is no concenses and depends on your luck and person reviewing your initial application.
The only other big concern i have is regarding showing the income. I didn't work in canada in past 2 years so didn't file any taxes there. I also have not gone on social security/govt. benefits and neither intend to do so once i reach back in canada. I know to sponsor spouce it says you don't need to show any minimum income but at the same time i read in forums and others reply that you should not apply until you can show solid income so that you can support your spouce.
I can show funds initially which should be enough to support myself and spouce for long time and my tax returns from US if that helps but i am confused how to approch this.
I want to apply for my spouce as soon as i reach canada may be with in month so that there is chance of it getting done before or soon afeter the visitor visa expires so even if she has to go back to country where we apply it should not be for long time.
Even if i get a job it will be less then month old i might not even have paystubs by then forget about tax returns as that will happen in 2011.
Any advise on this or if someone has faced simillar situation and can help that would be great.
