Can you please share where did you apply and did you added or mentioned in any document that you are applying under new TRV policy for spouse?
I didn’t mention that i am applying under new TRV policy as our application was ready and signed on 26th. We used a representative for application. But in Invitation letter i mentioned about his PR application status.
I know this question wasn’t for me but..we applied for TRV yesterday. Very straight forward via ircc account. Tells you what to upload: 2 filled IMM form (5257 & 5465) in the 5257 document we mentioned that we have a pr file in progress along with the file number and pa uci. Expect to upload PA passport page, invitation letter, itinerary for travel, digital photo 35mmx45mm & proof of funds. If you want to use a representative add the representative form as well. In any case there’s a personalized questionnaire to do before it tells you what you need to upload. Once all is uploaded you pay the 100$ and thats it. It’s already linked to my tracker and gckey without me doing anything.
Out of curiosity, roughly what amount min should we be showing for proof of funds. I heard min 2k per month for duration of stay dependent on the geographic area intended I.e Toronto. Are any of you doing a letter of invitation where spouse backs up a portion of the funds due to the spouse’s country currency being low?
Under the pr undertaking, the spouse agreed to care for the applicant including their financial need. So under TRV can we utilize sponsor’s income as proof of funds?

Hello All, I have a question regarding TRV for Spouse, Anyone who recently applied for the TRV since the news from the Immigration Minister. What are the key points while applying the TRV? I have applied already for the Spousal Sponsorship by myself.
1. Did you guys applied under the length of Stay as less than 6 months or more than 6 months Visa, under the TRV Visa Category.
2. And, In the letter of Invitation what did you mention regarding the Sponsorship ?
3. Proof of Financial Resource of Supporter -- What did you mention in the letter of Support? as it asks for both letter of Support and Banks statements.
4. And, Did anyone provided the letter of explanation? I will paste the link as a reference and explain why we are applying for the TRV (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2023/05/canada-is-reuniting-loved-ones-through-new-immigration-measures-new-measures-also-address-labour-shortages-in-canada.html)
I understand its a lot of Questions, but I would really appreciate if someone would be able to answer these questions as it's new under this category so wanted to be sure before I apply.

Hi there - curious, about your TRV. Did the CIC ask for your Medicals in the TRV process?
if yes, is the applicant allowed to use the medicals done in TRV, submit for PR application as well?
There is a temp public policy about Medicals, if done within 5 years then the medical is still valid.
see:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/2022-foreign-exempt-ime.html
My spouse completed her biometrics on May 17th (after we received the biometrics instructions on May 11th and sent in the application on Feb 10th).
The biometrics got updated immediately after it is done on May 18th. No updates since then, usually what I saw most common, Sponsors receive their SAs soon after the biometrics is done and the medical request is sent very after the biometrics instructions are sent out.
I see so much randomness in the IRCC processsing workflow/timeline. Any thoughts on the worst case wait time on medical?
Good news for Feb'23 Outland applicants. Another applicant's processing time raises the bar with 5 months and PPR is in!!!
