Hello, all!
Thanks for such an informative thread. With more than 1,000 pages to look through, I hope you'll forgive me if I'm duplicating any already-answered questions.
My partner is Canadian, and I'm an American. We'll be getting married next month, and are prepping all the paperwork for the Spousal Visa.
We have a few questions that we're still confused about, and I'd be indebted to anyone who's done this or knows the answers.
1) Can I be in Canada (on a visiting visa) when we first file for my partner's sponsorship, or do I have to be in my home country?
2) Can I be in Canada when I submit my Outland Spousal Visa Application?
3) Will I be able to remain in Canada (with a visitor visa) while my Outland Spousal Visa Application is being processed?
If I understand it correctly, I can remain in Canada while the Spousal Visa is being processed, but I'm ineligible to work until it's approved. I also understand it that I can seek to have my visitor time extended another 6 months if the visa still isn't finished.
Thank you all for your help!
