Sponsor spouse inland who is in Canada with eTA

[sunghyun]

Hi all,
Sorry, I did not get the replies from the previous thread, I am posting it again.

I am currently a permanent resident in Canada and my spouse came to Canada as eTA a few days ago.
As the title states, I want to sponsor my wife a permanent resident an inland spouse class.
Can I sponsor her even though she is in Canada as an eTA?

Also, my wife is staying in my place.
Thus, is it possible to state that we are currently living together even though she is here as an eTA?

If you want to be more certain, you could read the instructions. It's a simple and straightforward case and answer.

She entered with eTA with no special exit date stamped on her passport. So she is on visitor status until 6 months from the day she entered into Canada.
Search and read on applying inland with valid status as visitor. She will/should extend her stay as visitor until the application got AOR (application number confirmed) if she includes OWP with her inland application. (only the OWP will give her implied status the sponsorship application doesn't)

Read the instruction as posted by previous memembers. It's a very common route to apply inland as visitor.
