hi everyone my husband and i live exclusive outside of canada and are applying under spousal sponsorship Outland. during the process does anyone think it will be a bad idea for us (my husband, Daughter and I) to visit Canada? we are thinking of visiting easter next year and doubt his PR will be completed then... will we have a hard time with the immigration at the airport? by the way he currently hold a multiple entry visitors visa.

Hello,

No you will not have a problem with immigration at the airport. I am exclusively living out of Canada and am sponsoring my wife. We submitted the application in April 2017, and went for a visit for 45 days from June till August and had not issues at the airport. Although she applied for a visit visa after submitting the sponsorship forms, and after 45 days we got a call from an immigration officer from our visa office asking why are we applying for a TRP while we have an ongoing sponsorship, i explained to him that we just submitted the forms and we will go for the summer and be back well before the 12 month mark and he was convinced and issued the visa. We went and came back with no issues.
