My spouse has no status in Canada so we were set to file for outland sponsorship. She does not have a U.S. passport as it was not required at the time she came into Canada. Does anyone know if she can apply for a passport while living in Canada? I've scoured the internet but cannot come up with an answer to this question. Also would like to know if the fbi check needs to be done before we apply? I have read various things stating the fbi clearance takes ages. Any help you could give me would be appreciated
