SPOUSE PR VISA- Need Advice

[redevil2323]

Dear fellow members.

My spouses visiting visa was rejected . I have a PR and we both are outside Canada. I have the following questions

1) Can I apply for outland sponsorship while I am not in Canada ?

2) If I need to be in Canada to apply for her sponsorship can I come back after doing it ?

3) Should I retry for her visitors ? her brother resides in CANADA as a PR too from 7 years and she genuinely wants to visit

4) This is the ideal situation for me - I go to Canada apply her sponsorship while staying there for the 15 day period file it and come back. Once she gets her PR we both travel back there together . is this possible ?

Thanks

1. If you are a canadian permanent resident or citizen looking to sponsor someone who is not currently living in Canada, then you can apply for the outland sponsorship stream. A downside to using this stream is that until your application has been approved, living with your spouse may be difficult. However, your spouse can apply for a temporary visa to come to Canada while his or her outland sponsorship application is being processed if they choose.

2. There is no requirement for the sponsor to remain in Canada. The only requirement for sponsor is to make sure there PR residency requirements are being met. You are certainly free to travel while PR app is processing, but just don't travel long enough to make it appear you're residing. There is no specific time allowed since it's all at discretion of a random visa officer. I would keep trips to a month maximum, but really it's up to you how much risk you want to take.

3. She can apply for temporary visa

4. Yes

Thanks for the reply - Does it mean I can file her PR now while I am outside of Canada ?

Yes, as long as you can provide all documents needed for the PR process. Also, her brother will give an additional points for your wife since he is residing in Canada for 7 years.

Awesome .. I am not sure why they rejected her VISA though she has strong ties with her country of residence.
Please advice since her visiting got rejected should I try for second visiting attempt or apply for sponsorship first

I will not advise you for second VV as will make your PR case weak better apply for PR first as spouse.

For my suggestion only, check first all the reasons why your wife Visa was rejected. At least you will be ready for reapplying the application and you can save your funds.

Yes, you can process even your outside the Canada. Are you doing the process in Express Entry?

In order to make the ability to sponsor your spouse accessible to people at all income levels, IRCC does not require that applicants earn any certain amount of money. As long as you can have the minimum proof of funds. 1 applicant = CAD 13,000

yes same rule applies even if you had your kid but make sure your PR is valid till you application is processed. Earning requirements are not required for spouse visa only for parents sponsorship.
