Hi,

1) In a dual intent case, will the tourist visa have a negative impact on the PR visa? That is, will the immigration officer processing my wife's PR application reject it because she also applied for a tourist visa?

2) How can I increase the chances of getting an approved Tourist visa. For example, can I purchase the return ticket and show her family ties to her home country?

3) What are the chances of getting an approval? I have already applied for a PR app for my wife through the Damascus office.

Your advice/experience/views would be greatly appreciated.

1. No.

2. Difficult. When assessing the TRV they will know there is a PR application in progress. This shows she intends to move to Canada permanently, which is a big factor against granting the TRV. You can try to show family ties, job, apartment etc.

3. Unlikely they would approve the TRV, but certainly no harm in trying.
