VerifiedShe cannot apply for permanent residency status under the live-in caregiver program without completing the required number of days but you can sponsor her as your spouse.
Once you are married you can sponsor your spouse .
The way this works is that the sponsorship application and the permanent resident application go in together. Once you are approved as a sponsor your spouse's application will be processed.
