what do you mean special permission .my spouse and child both citizen and i’m here still waiting for my outland sponsorship .can i apply for any visa to be with them in this type of crisis ? thankyou

The special permission is unrelated. You can apply for a visa. The new instructions do not mean you will automatically get one.

This question has been answered previously. If you want to rejoin your family in Canada, you must apply for a TRV. There is no special visa.

Once again, you need to apply for a TRV.

Hi Guys,

So I have a question and I am sure quite a few people are dealing with this right now.
I am a Canadian citizen and my wife in India just got her COPR and Visa stamp but the stamp is only valid till May 25/20. Now I was wondering if the ban is not lifted before May 25/20. Would she be able to extend her visa somehow? Is CIC going to do something about people who can't travel because of Covid19?
Also would she have to do medical (her original was done in May 2019) and everything again? I tried contacting them through webform but didn't get any clear reply.

Is anyone out there is same sort of situation?
Please reply.

Thanks,
Amit

Yes, she can...! Provided you're able to get tickets.

Thanks for the link. It explains a lot but I still just wanted to clarify:
She needs to send a webform request saying she is unable to travel before her visa expires in May. What happens then? Are they going to ask to send the passport back and issue a new visa? Also do new medical?
In case after you send the webform saying you can't travel but the circumstances change and you can travel. what happens then? Is your visa no longer valid?
So many questions right. But i really appreciate all the help.

Thanks,

Read the text in the link. I do not know more than waht is there. It appears the visa is not canceled so if she can find a flight she should be fine.

As she is the spouse of a Canadian, India has not closed the border to people leaving and there are still flights available, she faces no restrictions in travelling to Canada.

Hi guys just an update
So at the check in counter they looked at my passport and saw the immigrant visa, they ask for my Pr card I told them I don’t have it yet what I have is copr and also I’m an immediate family member of a Canadian citizen, that’s all, they never asked to see neither my copr document or my proof documents that I’m tied to a Canadian citizen, I guess they know the rule already and can’t be bothered, I got my two boarding passes and I’m waiting to board now.

Hi everyone......I need advice please.....I sponsored my spouse who has landed 1 year ago, she worked but has stopped working and wants to apply for employment insurance.....I remember as the sponsor I signed agreement that my spouse when sponsored will not get or ask for financial assistance or social assistance from the government during the 3 years after landing....and I don't want he to apply for EI as this will breach my sponsorship agreement.....but my spouse disagrees......please advice will IRCC consider EI as government financial or social assistance as my spouse just landed and the 3 years has not elapsed...
