What happens if you submitted an outland spousal sponsorship application and your spouse is now in Canada?
Your application does not automatically switch to an in-Canada application.
If you submitted a Family Class application, it can continue processing even if your spouse is now in Canada. If you want to submit an application under the Spouse or Common-Law
Partner in Canada class, you would generally need to withdraw the existing application and submit a new one.
The right option depends on your circumstances, so make sure you understand the implications before making a change.
