Visiting through TRV vs ETA - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

[CaptainPilot]

Is it easier for visa exempt countries ( ETA) applicants to visit spouses in Canada compared to visa required countries (TRV) applicants? What is the difference? To my understanding it's very difficult to obtain for a TRV when applying for PR under family sponsorship class? Do visa exempt applicants face the same challenges?

The difference is pretty simple, the visa exempt visitors don't need a visa - the TRV.

Is there something more to your question?

Yes, you are right.
visa exempt countries ( ETA) applicants have no problems visiting Canada during the "process".
just need a ticket and show some proof that you are a family member to canadian... No issues at all. My husband did that a month ago. easy travel back and forth...of course 14 days quarantine in Canada
