I have read too many posts about spousal application getting rejected if you, being a permanent resident, travel out of Canada for an extended period (2-3 months). I submitted my application on 2nd December 2021 and I'm afraid if I fly out for a couple months (perhaps in April/May 2022) to be with my spouse, my application will get rejected.
I have not received an AOR yet, and I know we are all in due course of receiving one.
I was actually considering withdrawing my application and requesting for a refund, until someone in the whatsapp group mentioned that if I stayed a little longer i.e. till I get SA at least, the probability of rejection is reduced. Is that true? Any worst case scenarios?
Also, how far into the application is it considered acceptable to withdraw application and request for refund - considering that's the box I ticked on IMM1344 form, or is that solely for ineligibility purposes?
