Dear [requester],
Thope this message finds you well.
Thisis | am writing on behalf of one of our client who is currently in the process of a
spousal sponsorship application under the outside Canada category.
They would like to inquire if it is possible to convert their outside Canada spousal sponsorship application to an in-Canada
sponsorship while their application is still under process, once they arrive in Canada on visitor visa
Could you kindly provide guidance on the following:
1. Isit possible to request a conversion of the spousal sponsorship from outside Canada to in-Canada status upon arrival,
assuming the client holds a valid visitor visa?
2.What are the necessary steps for initiating such a request?
3.Are there any potential impacts on the processing times or other elements of the sponsorship application that we should
be aware of?
4.If primary applicant gets visit visa and once land incanada, can she/he apply for a Spouse open work permit and work in
Canada?

We would greatly appreciate your assistance in clarifying these matters and any additional information that may be helpful
for our client.
Thank you for your time and support. We look forward to your response.
