Hi everyone,
I'm a canadian citizen, and currently sponsoring my wife for PR (inland). We got married in 2022 with a simple ceremony at the court house with my immediate family and my wife's closest friends, with the full intention that we would wait a year or two and then do a proper wedding celebration. One major reason for having a 2nd wedding, was so that my wife's family in Brazil could come to attend.
Our 2nd wedding is happening in October this year, and despite inviting a few family members (aunt, cousin etc.) to come, only my wife's sister is going to come (their parents are deceased) from her side. We are paying for the trip (about 1 week long), we'll write the letters, etc.
Now that my SIL has had her passport made (she's never been outside of the country), we are applying for her visitor visa under Family visit.
My main question is: should my wife (her sister) be the one to submit her visitor visa request, even though my wife is still undergoing her spousal sponsorship and therefore has only temporary resident status currently? Or myself as a citizen?
Thank you!
