Why Canada is rejecting spouse visitor visa while it is known that PR application will take more than year in most cases?
1. immigrantion officer will reject visitor visa of spouse stating I am not satisfied that applicant will return back due family ties in canada.
2. Immigration officer will take more than a year to give their decision on spousal sponsorship PR.
now by above two scenarios, Canadian Government is forcing newly weds couples to stay separate, will Canadian immigration Ministers will like if their sons or daughter are forced to stay separate? Where is family values in your laws?
Coming to next, as a applicant why we are not getting unite to form a group and raise the concern to immigration minister so that they can take a look into issue and find a solution like giving temporary visitor valid until decision made.
I agree that IRCC rejects too many TRV applications for people undergoing sponsorship applications with their spouses. I went through the whole ordeal of being unable to bring my girlfriend (now wife whom I am outland sponsoring) to come visit me in Canada 3 years ago. Apparently having her visit for 2 weeks in my own country to see my life, my friends & my family and Canadian culture was too much to ask. I was pretty upset when her TRV got refused on the grounds of her living in a "country with limit economic opportunities". The case officer decided that being from a poorer country was reason enough for her to be refused and assumed she would overstay her TRV to live/work in Canada illegally. This horrible assumption was made, even though we had proof of her ties to her country such as a job, apartment, car, enrollment in a Master's program and letter from her boss.
Meanwhile I would think that a large portion of people overstaying their visits are likely from countries that have a visa-free regime with Canada. I'm not going to name countries, but where I live in Canada there is a certain EU country that does not need a visa to visit Canada and many of them overstay to work and live in Canada illegally. I've known many over the years who had people from this region visit Canada and then they work illegally doing reno and labor jobs the duration of their visit. I know of a few companies setup for cheap labor like that.
I know a girl from this place who is straight up in a marriage of convenience from a guy she met from Montreal. 2 weeks after meeting him online, they were married as she was due to leave the country and was (vocally) looking for a way to stay. This dude in Montreal was willing to provide that to her. By the time she "married", she had overstayed her visa-free visit for a couple months. Not sure if she'll ever get in trouble for it, as last I checked she is still in Montreal living the sweet Canadian dream life.
Meanwhile there are those of us who can't even bring our legitimate loved ones for a visit that lasts a couple weeks, even with intentions of them returning. If you put the applicant as your spouse or in a relationship with them on their TRV application, it's seemingly an automatic strike against them being approved since they assumed to be 'moving in' with you. Lie about it, and you risk automatic rejection and future bans. It's a circle of nonsense that IRCC created.
Sorry for the rant, but this is a deeply personal issue for myself that forced me to move out of my own country to be with my wife. I'm glad were together at present and all looks good as we wait for our application. Still, I'll never stop being upset that our entire situation has come to this. I'm very lucky I was able to transfer to an office in another country closer to my wife so I could continue to work and she was able to move in with me. I don't even want to imagine the stress this would have caused if I chose to quit my job and attempt to move overseas without a source of income. Undoubtedly some here have done that. Or marry her, then live back in Canada for perhaps longer than a year as we wait...and wait...and wait.
