Subject: Applying for PR - illegal status
Can you submit an application as common-law to a visa office outside Canada, if you have illegal status?

You need to expound your problem clearly for others to understand what your real problem is.

I´m going to assume that you´re referring to having illegal status in Canada.

I believe that you are able to submit an application for permanent residence to a visa office outside Canada, even if you have illegal status. You´ll have to apply to the visa office responsible for your country of residency, you´d have to check with someone from immigration as to which office that would be. I know for a fact that you wouldn´t be able to apply from within Canada, because you have to maintain legal status in order to do that.

However, I´m not sure how having illegal status would affect an application made outside of Canada. You may want to contact an immigration consultant/lawyer or talk to someone with Citizenship and Immigration to see if it will.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I will contact the visa office and seek legal advice as you have requested.
