Key figures at a glance
Source sequence preservedTechnical reference Eligibility and pathway detail | |
|---|---|
| Aspect | Detail |
| Applicant location | Inside Canada throughout processing |
| Work permit while processing | Open work permit generally available, allowing work for almost any employer |
| Travel during processing | Restricted — leaving Canada can raise questions about the application or affect status |
| Status requirement | Sponsored partner generally needs to maintain valid temporary status throughout |
It's possible but carries risk — an officer may question the application, and re-entry isn't guaranteed, so most applicants are advised to stay in Canada until the process concludes.
Depending on the circumstances, the applicant may still be able to remain in Canada under specific provisions, but this should be actively managed rather than assumed.
It can generally be submitted alongside the sponsorship application itself, rather than waiting for the sponsorship to be approved first.
