Hi all,
I applied for spouse sponsorship for my wife in May. But I haven't heard anything from NDVO since July 25.So I am planning to apply for a visiting visa for her. Anybody else did the same?

Thank you so much for the link. So I think there is still a very little chance to get approved.

I have few questions about visiting visa.
Can I apply through GC key for visiting visa (spousal application linked to GC key already)
Can I tell CIC in the letter of invitation that spousal application is in process? (I guess I must?)
My wife already did her medical for spousal sponsorship. So how will I provide that medical results for her visiting visa?

I am really sorry if my questions are dumb.

No, your questions are not dumb LOL. They are pertinent questions.

To answer your questions:
1. Yes

2. Yes. Even if you dodn't tell IRCC, they would know about her PR application. But, you must mention it.

3. Medicals are not required for the TRV/visitor visa. Her current medicals are already on the system.


Do ensure that your wife demonstrates some strong ties to return home to: Employment/business + property ownership or a lease agreement in her name + good financial situation without borrowing from anyone, etc

Thank you so much for your reply,
Few more questions about your last paragraph
She is not working at the moment but she has a job offer from an employer. Will that be enough?
She doesn't own any property. Its all in her fathers name. But she has all the rights in those property. Do you think an affidavit will work in this situation?
Can I show my financial situation? Since she doesn't have a job now I am supporting her financially.

thank you so much for your help again.

Unfortunately, job offers don't help because an applicant might choose not to work later. Actual employment/working for 5-6 months before applying would help.

Inheritances/wills/property nominations won't help either. Nor will an affidavit work because these properties legally belong to her father.


Can I show my financial situation? Since she doesn't have a job now I am supporting her financially.
Her financial situation is important.


I would recommend you do NOT apply for a TRV as her chances of approval are quite low. Hopefully her PR will come through soon instead

Thank you so much for your help. I guess I will wait for her PR.
