Girl Friend with Tourist Visa, marry, bring her and then apply for PR

[mikeymyke]

Did you got married in canada while she was on a trv? How long was your relationship at the time of your application for sponsorship? Did she stay in canada with you during the process of outland sponsorship?

No we got married in her home country, applied for PR through outland, then we applied for TRV. A lot of people here will tell you this will make it almost impossible for the spouse to get a visitor visa, but that's not the case as we submitted extensive documents to prove she won't overstay and will leave.

We were in a 2 year relationship at the of applying for PR. She stayed for only 3 weeks in Canada after getting the TRV because her PR application was going so fast, she had to return home right away to submit her passport to get the visa. Had we known she would've gotten her visa this quickly, we wouldn't have applied for the TRV, and she could've potentially landed here a month earlier, not to mention save a couple thousand dollars.

Note that as per OP's first post, she already has a TRV.

That post was meant for amitriptyline05, I was just assuming he's asking me about my situation because he might be planning on doing the same thing for his/her spouse.
