Would a US citizen spouse of a Canadian citizen (me) with proof of marriage, etc, be able to enter Canada for the dual intent of visiting and family re-unification/starting the inland spousal sponsorship application?

We don't want to be separated if we do outland processing :(

HI Guys,
My wife is supposed to visit me sometime in may/June on her visitor Visa. I have a PR and since she is my immediate family member, i'm wondering if she would be allowed to Canada with family reunifying as a reason.

If anybody know if reuniting with family counts as an essential reason, please throw some light.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kalyan,

Your post just made me hopeful about my application. Because I heard they rarely give the spouse of a PR TRV. My husband has a PR and I applied for a TRV to go visit him before we start the proper spousal application. Please I would like to know if your wife was asked to do medicals during her application. I was told to do medical screening too in April. I did it, passed it and it was uploaded and I'm still waiting to hear from the embassy.
I will just like to know if your wife to was asked to do the medicals and what her application was like. Thank you.

We applied for a visitor visa and she got it before getting married. Your scenario might be different since you are applying after getting married. And no, she did not do her medical when applying for a TRV.

Hi
Is IRCC processing TRVs for immediate family members now(from today onwards)? I mean can we apply TRV for my parents on family reunite purpose?

Assuming can travel she will need to prove to the checkin agent that she is an immediate family member. Plus on arrival she will need to spend 14 days in quarantine isolated from other family members as far as possible. Note also travel insurance may not provide any cover for anything COVID related or even indirectly related.

Why the urgency for a visit whilst the COVID situation is active as things are only likely to get more restricted in Canada over next few months just seems an unnecessary risk
hi
I am in Canada on a work permit and my husband went to India in December. He had a valid visitor visa until 2024. he applied for a new passport due to a clerical mistake in the spelling of his name and reapplied for a visa in the new passport which got rejected. later I searched and found that his visa was valid and we shouldn't have applied for a visa. how does the rejection affect his valid visa on the old passport? please reply. I've been here alone for the past six months now and I am clueless about the course of action.
thanks
