Hi everyone,

Last summer my pgwp expired and then I applied for visitor record restoration and then after that my girlfriend at the time decided to get married.

So I started working unauthorized to save for the wedding and then I quit work after 2 months working unauthorized and got married.(Canadian citizen).


My visitor record was expiring in January and I applied for extension and declared all this unauthorized work in a letter of explanation. I was remorseful and apologized profusely in the letter for visitor record extension. I also cited reason to stay in Canada as to get sponsored by my wife for PR. We applied for spousal sponsorship as well in start of Feb.

My visitor record extension was approved which was a big relief for me. So my question is I am going to apply for OWP as I have received aor through inside Canada spousal sponsorship. How do I explain this in my OWP application for spousal sponsorship? I have already disclosed this in visitor record extension which they approved

My extended visitor record has a remark on bottom that says temporary residency maintained.
Thank you in advance.
