December 2023 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship
- Thread starter jsjaspreet93
- Start date
Hi. When you filed for a TRV for your wife, did you show that she plans to return after visiting you, or did you file on the basis of the 2023 announcement ( reuniting families)? And did you use the regular travel visa application portal? How did you explain that she plans to stay back?
I appreciate any response on this. Thanks.
There is an anti-visitor sentiment running across Canada and Visa officers are human, wish they were bots, but they live and breath in the same space, consume the same news and polluted political air. All this is happening, not because temporary visitors did something wrong neither did the Indian students do anything wrong - its just combination of post-covid economy, housing crisis, greedy college deans, governments own policy mistakes and so forth. But its now seeped into politics and as an applicant you have to be cognizant of this fact
Regardless of whatever anyone says - even regardless of that Family Reunion 2023 policy update - DO NOT SAY THAT spouse will stay in Canada till the PR process will finish.
This will give a quick and easy reason for the Officer to REFUSE THE TRV, saying that the applicant's stated purpose to Visit Canada does not match with TRV.
Do not hand that reason to the officer.
Instead - word it something like the person is visiting Canada - on a special family occasion think of one, if you can support it with other docs, birthdays, anniversary etc) to be together with their spouse or spend few days with the spouse and then return back to home country. No, this wont guarantee you a TRV either, but this reason will be more digestible for the officer, specially if the couple has been away for 8-12 months or more. All the best.

Your waste of money is Pure Revenue for IRCC. Not just OWP, but also TRV. In most cases, they deny TRV for eligible Spousal PR applicants.
If they had to deny, why did they even announce and encourage applicants to apply. Cuz thats how they can get some dough.
And it seems most of the work is being done by a software now - so its not like they have to pay johnny boy in halifax 15/hr.
Forget minimum wage - $0 expenses and 100% revenue = 100% profit!
Everything is now approved in the PR tracker - with a COPR number.
