I'm a little disappointed with CIC since today marks 60 days.

I just want to know, either way the result. Whether it's a yes or a no.

UPDATE: I was contacted by my MP to let me know that a decision is due next week. Inshallah I'm hoping for a great news.

Hello. I need your kind / experienced advice on filling up the IMM5257E form. I am a Pakistani passport holder but I'm applying from Germany where i came on spouse visa. I am now confused about what to write in Status in country of residence. Should I put foreignerr there or should i select others and then write spouse visa?

Is it your spouse visa is permanent or temporary. If it is temporary I would recommend you to apply from Pakistan where you can provide more ties.

The precise recommendation is "if you have been admitted to a country for a period of year or longer, you can apply from there". This automatically disqualifies a six month trv. Most likely a spousal visa in Germany is valid for longer. So one should be good to apply from there.

I don't think any of the choices make much of a difference. You do not have residence status in Germany. Choosing Other and then specifying the type as Spouse dependent is more precise but shouldn't be a problem even if you write just a foreigner.

Asif is this the same letter which your parents got as an initial medical request? If not then it must have instruction for any furtherance test required by CIC before reaching into final decision.

Dear All,

I am Phd student at McGill university, i applied for my wife last year as SPOUSE OPEN work Permit. But we got rejected due to my study permit expiry. I renewed all the documents and applied again with TRV including all the ties and requirements.

However, this time my wife received a call from embassy saying that you should withdraw your application as you are not eligible for TRV. The lady on the phone mentioned that she was speaking from visa section from Islamabad embassy and suggested to apply again for Spouse open work permit. She said we are not rejecting your visa this time, so you will receive an email regarding this issue as well, but haven't received any email after 1 week.

Please if someone can guide us, that what we should do.

Regards,
Majid Rasool

This is very unique situation. CIC usually do not call for this kind of info I would say contact your area's MP and ask him/her to get you insight of an application. When did your spouse applied for TRV?

Dear Members,

My mother applied for Canada Visit/Tourist visa back in January 15th 2016 and send the paperwork to Islamabad and receive conformation that they have got everything.
Its been more then four months and we Inquire last week and they say it's still in process. She have had Canadian visa many times in the past and always get passport back with visa in 45days. She also have Valid USA visa stamped on her passport. My question is :

1: Is this normal ?
2: What can cause the delay.
3: How they can hold someone's passport for 4 months when they have travel plans to other country too. I am in USA she wants to come to me too and my Other Brother is in Canada. I can probably get her Green card for this long of a wait what they are doing with visitor visa. And i might do that to avoid this experience in feature.

Any help or comments on the subject would be appreciated.

Thanks
Faisal.

Not really unique. They just meant NOT TO APPLY FOR VISITOR TRV. It is hard to differentiate between the two in terms of intention but they are as follows:

Visitor TRV: Short visit of six months or less. Does not require medicals, you are not covered in Canada for medical either. Shorter processing time.
Resident TRV: Stay as long as the principal applicant (spouse, child etc.) - longer than six months. Requires medical in home country but also gets you coverage in Canada. Longer processing time.


Spousal open work permit by default is the same as resident TRV with additional authorization allowing to work.

Normally when people say TRV they mean the visitor one.

In this case, since the principal applicant is a student in Canada and his spouse intends to live with him / her for as long as he is there, it automatically means he should NOT APPLY FOR VISITOR TRV.

So simply, reapply for spousal open work permit addressing all of CIC's concerns they gave in the first refusal. Many times they just miss some document and approve it in the second go. If you are really cautious, get gcms notes first and then reapply SOWP addressing their concerns causing refusal in the first place.

There is no reason / sense in applying for Visitor TRV in this scenario. CIC has been really nice to inform you (applicant) of this though.
