Brazil - Spousal Sponsorship and visitor visa denied

[carolinalw]

Hello everyone,

My husband and I, a Canadian citizen, got married this July and we are organizing our papers to apply Outland. But we decided to apply for my visitor visa first because, if it's approved, we can apply for the sponsorship when I get in Canada and then wait for the process together. The only thing that is holding us back is the fact that I had a visitor visa application denied earlier this year because I didn't give enough proof of my ties to Brazil. Right now I'm working as a volunteer in an agency in Brazil since march (I spent two years in Canada and returned to Brazil in December of 2015 but I didn't find a paid job yet) but I don't know if it will be enough to proof my ties. My husband also will be my sponsor and will pay for all my trip.

So my questions are: It's possible that I have my new visitor visa application denied again? This refused can bring problems to my sponsorship application? and should we still apply for a visitor visa first and then apply for the sponsorship or it doesn't really matter?

I'll really appreciate if someone can give me a little advice Thanks

Being married or in a relationship with someone in Canada is already a red flag for TRV applications. IO knows that there is a big possibility that the applicant wants to be in Canada, not mainly for tourism, but for immigration application.

Yes, there is a chance that you can be denied again.

No, it won't cause you any problem to your future sponsorship.

It's up to you when do you want to apply, before or after application. The most important thing here is how you can prove to them that you will still go back to Brazil and plans to "visit" Canada only.

Goodluck!

So do you believe would be better apply for a student visa or I would have the same kind risk?

A student visa also requires proof of ties to your home country.

Keep in mind that multiple refusals of temporary visas to Canada or any other country are considered by the visa officer when assessing the PR application. Failing to get a TRV, then applying for and failing to get a study permit, does not look good. This is not a definite problem: it depends on the country, the history of the couple, how many other red flags they have, etc. But if there are many failed attempts to get into another country, then a PR application, the visa officer will see it as a problem.

Two attempts for a TRV are probably OK; a failed application for a TRV and for a study permit are probably OK. Don't apply for more than that, though.
