Now imagine my case, married now for 18 years and 4 months. Lived abroad until two years ago when me and my two sons came up to Canada to settle and then bring wife and daughter. All 3 kids and me Canadian, wife Mexican. Last year tried to bring wife here for a couple of months to visit and then apply for PR. Visitor visa refused. Started PR process in November. Sent Sponsorship Dec, got approved Jan. Everything being processed for months and no answer. So we have been separated for 2 years already.
This is not fun at all! And then with the good luck of having a strike in the middle. I think, for those who have everything in the final stage, they should at least give the spouse a special permit to travel and wait for PR in Canada.
I understand each and one of you. This is so terrible, stressful and fustrating. I hope they go back to work soon. So many families apart.
Good luck to all of you.
