It won't mess up the process, but chances that he will get the visit visa are very slim. He can try though maybe he's lucky.I'm in the process of sponsoring my husband to come to Canada from Cairo Egypt and it is taking a very long time. He wants to try and get a temporary residency and come see me before our process is complete, I don't know if that will in any way mess up the process of our current application at all. Does anyone know any information about such predicaments?
