Hi all got a few questions, heads splitting trying to read through all the guides and figure everything out.
Going to put in an application for PR with my spouse (finally got married last week ;D ) sponsoring me, currently residing as a visitor with her in Canada.
As I understand the fees will are $75 for the sponsorship evaluation and $475 for my principal applications, and $490 right of PR fee. Have no dependents or anything so it's just me, have I got all the fees right here?
I read my sponsor has to get approval first (which is taking around 30 days) before I can apply? so do we just put those forms in first (IMM 1344, IMM5481) or do we have to send the lot in one go, as listed here:

Also I know I have to maintain a legal status here, currently here legally as a visitor, I thought I read something about once my spouse has been approved as a sponsor you maintain a legal status. I have also read stuff about inland/outland applications and looks much quicker if I apply from the UK so will probably go back for a while, though I also read I can apply outland whilst still residing in Canada?
Kind of confused a bit, thanks for any help.
