My wife's a British citizen and I'm sponsoring her. She is in Canada and entered visa exempt. She was not given anything at the airport nor was there a stamp on her passport at entry. There's nothing to say when she should leave. The border guard basically just asked us if we knew how long she was allowed to stay and we said 6 months.
Now, I'm wondering if she has to leave while her PR application is in process. If she does have to leave, would she be able to return within a few weeks and have the 6 months renewed or would she have to stay out for longer?

There's some risk that an inland PR applicant may not be allowed to re-enter. It's advisable not to leave the country while the PR application is being processed

So should she stay here in Canada then. I would have to apply for an extension. Is an explanation required for requesting an extension or not? And if so, is it advisable to mention the PR application as part of the reason for the extension? Thanks.

If she hasn't recieved the OWP by March, she can apply for a visitor extension just in case the OWP/PR app is returned after her current visitor status expires.
If you get the inland app in soon, she will likely have the OWP before her status expires in March.

On another note, I am not able to print IMM 5710. It validates and everything, but the PRINT option is disabled in Acrobat. Am I doing something wrong?
