To be eligible for DCF in canada, the USC and the beneficiary spouse are both required to be resident in Canada.
(As read on the US embassy in canada website)
The embassy page does not elaborate on the meaning of "resident". Does it mean only PRs or does it also include USCs and the beneficiary spouses living in canada on other long term canadian visas( student or work visas).
Will appreciate anyone throwing some light on this.

I believe that other long term visas are OK. Contact the Consulate you'd be using to confirm, or just go in and try to file; they will surely let you know either way at that point, and there is no harm to your case if they won't take the I-130.
