Inland application on a tourist visa

[AkashdeepS]

Hello everyone. I have questions regarding sponsoring my future spouse. I am PR for the past two years. Current Outland Spousal applications are taking around a year. If we don't want to wait that long then can we go for Inland application after entering on tourist visa. I have following questions

1. Inland application.

• Does registering marriage in another country before entering on tourist visa impact inland application? Will they ask why I went for inland when I had an option for the outland application.
• Do I need to keep on extending tourist visa unless my spouse gets the PR?
• Can she leave Canada for short duration when inland application is in the process?. If yes, then what visa she needs.
• What are the chances of person getting reject on tourist visa on the port of entry
• Do I need a travel record to extend a tourist visa? How to obtain it?
• What is the risk associated with this approach?

2. Outland application

• Can my spouse enter Canada on a tourist visa after applying outland application?.

Yes that is fine as long as your spouse can get a TRV.


1. Inland application.

• Does registering marriage in another country before entering on tourist visa impact inland application? Will they ask why I went for inland when I had an option for the outland application. NO
• Do I need to keep on extending tourist visa unless my spouse gets the PR? If applying with an OWP you will get implied status. Until you receive AOR you should extend
• Can she leave Canada for short duration when inland application is in the process?. If yes, then what visa she needs. Not recommended because there is no guarantee of reentry but possible. You also need to remain in Canada for the duration of the inland application. A short visit of 2-3 weeks seems to be overlooked.
• What are the chances of person getting reject on tourist visa on the port of entry Not likely but nobody can guarantee
• Do I need a travel record to extend a tourist visa? How to obtain it? You can ask for one upon entry
• What is the risk associated with this approach? No big ones except being without a job for numerous months. May not have health coverage for quite some time but how long depends on the province.

2. Outland application

• Can my spouse enter Canada on a tourist visa after applying outland application?. Yes
