January 2023 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

[rajeshb220591]

Hi all,
I'm planning to submit my spouse's application this week. I have a question regarding the applicant photo submission. Do we submit scan copy of the front, back of photo separately or combine them in a pdf and upload?

Amazing! Very much needed for CIC. I hope there is some positive response among the key decision makers, if in that email group. The denial of TRVs for Spouses should not be acceptable. I wish we could get couple of emails of supervisors and managers from London Visa office and include them in this email.

No chance immediate TRV will ever get implemented. It will be used by terrorist to bypass Canadian Visa Processing. It will be a disaster and it will turn Canadian public against immigration. Once the sponsor who is already a Canadian citizen has passed background checks and may be already married for 5 years or more, you could consider an express TRV. They should also issue TRV in most cases to denied applicants. Its much easier to verify if a marriage is genuine or not inside Canada. Some appeal cases takes 4 years and it usually involves Canadian citizen children as well. There is no reason Canadian citizen children should suffer for that long

Canadian RCMP and CSIS are doing their job pretty well. They have systems and processes in place to verify a person's identity, their family members, their places of work, visits and businesses. Your concerns are totally out of place and invalid. How?
#1-Applicants who are denied entry, are a different case. A few of them might be genuine cases, but most were denied for a legit reason. No need to waste time and limited officer availability on those cases.
#2-Using your faulty logic of "Canadian public against immigration" - perhaps CIC should throw logic and common sense out of the window, and deny entry of those children as well. Otherwise, as per your fears, someone will use the children to do some nasty work.
#3-Anyone who enters Canada, has already been verified by Canadian authorities and deemed not just safe for Canadians, but also economically and financially beneficial to Canada. Even the Syrian Refugees who were brought in Canada, were mostly handpicked by Canada and were the ones who were able to buy homes and businesses the next day. So im confident in the ability of Canadian authorities to make the right decision - either its fast tracking TRV for Spouses of Canadian Citizens/PR holders, Visitors who will financially benefit the country or others.

Have you researched? is it easy to get TRV visa for wife? I mean wont the visa officer say that eventually she will move to Canada as you are citizen. So why are you applying TRV, why not spousal visa application. I know we can respond by saying that its to avoid the long processing time - but will CIC accept that? Has CIC given TRVs easily in the past for potential spousal visa applicants?

Yes, we applied for a TRV for my fiancee, clearly stating that we plan to get married soon. Her TRV was quickly approved.

Does anyone know if there's any processing time advantage to online or paper applications?

So your fiancée already got TRV to enter Canada - yet you are here in Outland application group researching online/paper based Outland applications? Why not inland applications?

Because she's going to be here for a short time and has to go back to her work/life. TRV is only for six months.

You know that you can extend TRV, or convert it to WP if she can get relevant work here. i mean - eventually her work/life will be with you - as she has married you. Eventually she is going to move here in Canada. Why not now? Why not apply inland application + Open Work Permit for her so that she can start her work/life sooner, rather than later.

There is none as the paper application is now closed since 2022-09-23. The title is wrong as it is online only today.

just realized I didn't add checklist to it. Thanks

This I was already planning to add with the online application. Thank you.


Another question if you could answer it please:
Since she doesn't have any document to prove she's living with me in Canada ( we'll stay together in canada after we get married ) , what I could provide instead ? She only has TRV.
