    Wasalaam I got a letter from my MP, Bob Dechert. His office is on Burnhamthorpe and CreditView. I sent them an email and got a reply back within hours. So try sending an email and explain your situation in the email. The only time you will have to actually go to the office is when they ask you...

    Yes confirmed by a few lawyers. Know of 5 cases where the TRV was granted to a sponsored spouse as well. No, applying for a TRV and getting a cancellation does not in any way effect your sponsorship application. It is perfectly legal to apply for TRV while you are in the sponsorship process...

    My friend, your MP will do it for you. Just ensure that when they do contact you, you ask for a letter directly directly towards High commissioner of Canada: Ross Hynes. He will ask you for some sort of proof of your marriage, as my MP's office did. Just send them a picture from each of your...
