Hi @canuck78

Last Friday, Immigration announced new Immigration measures:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2023/05/canada-is-reuniting-loved-ones-through-new-immigration-measures-new-measures-also-address-labour-shortages-in-canada.html

Now I have a question:

Is it applicable for In-Canada Refugee PR applicants also? or it is just for those protected persons who have entered with PR status?

Let me say more specific: If an In-Canada protected person who has applied for their overseas family at the time that they has sent their own PR application, is it possible for their overseas spouse and dependents to apply for TRV according to this new announcement while their PR application is in proccess?

Many thanks

Good evening all. I want to ask what you all think about the announcement made by immigration minister about dependants outside Canada can apply for visitors visa to enable them reunite with families while waiting for the PR process.
https://www.cicnews.com/2023/05/immigration-minister-sean-fraser-to-announce-measures-to-strengthen-family-reunification-today-0535118.html#gs.z9renn
Absolutely. If the main applicant who is in Canada is already a PR, then there is a 98% chance of Visa approval if he or she invites his dependents outside Canada. They will also get a work permit when they arrive in Canada while they wait out their outland application in Canada. Its time for everyone to throw in the visitor visa application for spouses and children.

Applies to Family Class Permanent Resident Application through sponsorship.
Who are the people under the Family Class Permanent Residence Application? I don’t seem to understand anymore. I have PR already and would want my husband who is outside Canada to join me. Are you saying I cannot use this new process to achieve that?
