Hello guys, my sponsership is in process, and my husband wants to invite me,
So can u tell me please how can we apply for TRV???
Yes you can apply for a TRV as you wait for your PR application to go through due to long times for processing and it does not affect you current application for Permanent Resident for your spouse. For TRV it it usually takes about 3 months to process it.
For those who want to apply for the TRV, the golden rules are that you need to convince the Visa Officer of the following 4 things -
1- Your marriage is legitimate
*To prove this attach all documents from shadi,honeymoon etc, basically everything u put in your sponsorship application.
2- Your are able to financially support your husband/wife when he/she is in Canada
*Show your household income, your income, your bank statements, your wifes bank statements, salary stubs, your tax assessment, T4, her fathers bank statements. The rule here is that your wife should have access to 10k for every month she is in Canada visiting you. Show this money
3- Your husband/wife will return to Pakistan.
*Discuss the dates on arrival, departure, flight#'s, length of stay, what you intend to do, purpose of visit, where she will be staying etc. If your wife works, then show documentation to prove that she works and she needs to be back in a certain period of time. If she is in school, show that her school fees are paid and get a letter from the principal showing that she needs to be starting school at a certain date. If she doesnt work or go to school, then show that she has assets in Paksitan, if she doesnt have any assets, then show her family assets, which prove that she is well established in Pakistan.
4- Your husband/wife will not become a burden on Canada in any way shape or form
*Get travellers insurance for the same time period that she will be visiting. Outline what your finances and expenditures will look like during her visit, what you guys expect to spend, where you plan to visit. Explicitly state that you will be taking full responsibility of her financial needs during her visit in a notarized document. (mobile notaries/lawyers take $10 to notarize documents, they will come to your house or meet you in a public place) Notarized documents really gives that added touch of seriousness and authenticity to your claims.
You may included the following in your TRV application:
Completed forms
A notarized letter of invitation
A notarized copy of my passport
A letter from my employer stating your salary and position.
A bank statement which shows $10k in sponsor bank account
A letter which shows how much your household income is
A letter from your mp which supports your case, a letter he will forward to High commissioner of Canada to Pakistan on your behalf.
~20 Pictures from our wedding maiyoon mehndi shadi ruksati walima functions
~10 pictures from our honeymoon
E-tickets and boarding passes from your honeymoon
Copy of the invitation card from your wedding
All receipts from your wedding
All receipts from honeymoon
Copy of your marriage certificate and notarized translation
Bank statement from his/her account 10k Canadian dollars
Copy of her/his birth certificate
Her/his police clearances
Copy of her/his medical which u did for the spousal sponsorship
tax assessment
An affidavit signed by you and an oath taken infront of a lawyer that you will take her/him complete financial responsibility during her/his visit and will send back.
A copy of the Canada Post slip which states that you have sent the spouse sponsorship application
A copy of the tracking information which states that the application was received in Mississauga.
2 Passport sized photos
A letter of intent stating that she/he needs to visit And spending time apart is very hard and strenuous on our marriage.
People on that thread got their passport's back with a VISA, but a lot of people have been getting rejections recently as well. So its really a hit/miss.
Just ensure that when your MP contacts you, you ask for a letter directly towards High commissioner of Canada:He will ask you for some sort of proof of your marriage,Just send them a picture from each of your wedding ceremonies. Takes them a few days to draft the letter, and then you can pick it up.
Good Luck
, anyways after the refusal we pretty much took comfort in the fact that it must be a better option for us since we both are studying and cudnt afford the financial burden of having a spouse around who cant support the family since you cant work on a trv. anyways for all those ppl who still wanna apply for a trv, the wife should show a very heavy bank statment cause i know ppl who did that got their trvs.
