Hi! I hope you can help me.
I am Mexican and my fianc? is Canadian. I arrived to Canada with the new policy of getting an eTa (I don't have tourist visa) last December 2016, and now We are close to get married next may 06th, 2017. After the ceremony, we want to apply immediately for the Inland Sponsorship Program now as the legal Spouse. But I am worry about my legal stay here in Canada meanwhile the process is running. Cause if I had a tourist visa, the maximum time allowed for me to stay it would be 6 months... and that it would be next June. So...
1. Can I stay in Canada only with my eTa approved status meanwhile the program is running? If not, what should I do?
2. When it would be appropriate to send the Sponsorship application? Before or after my civic wedding day
3. When can I start applying for the work/study permit? (If I need it for be able to stay legally in the country?)
