multple entry visa

How can someone apply for a multiple entry visa? What are the chances that they will be granted one if they have family in canada and have a spousal sponsorship process going?

I am a canadian citizen and I'm sponsoring my husband from iraq. Would he be able to get a multiple entry visa?

I don't think anyone here could answer whether your husband would be able to get a multiple entry visa.

To answer your first question, the applicant will have to complete the application forms and submit it with other supporting documents (see checklist) to the consulate/embassy/ visa application centres.

Everyone who applies for a TRV is automatically considered for a multiple. However, the chances in your case are extremely low that he will get one given your situation (husband in military, political instability, pregnant wife in Canada).

Oh I understand. So right when he applies for a visit he is considered for a multiple entry visa.

Yes the chances for him are low but I was thinking of trying. If he gets multiple entry that would be great.

Yes when he applies, he's automatically considered for multiple, but to get a multiple, he has to have a really good case, such as employment, ties to home, assets, etc.

It won't hurt to try, but you should fully expect a refusal, and don't be disappointed if you do get a refusal. It happens a lot, even to people whose situation is not as bad as your husband's. A lot of people who work normal jobs in stable countries get refused visitor visas to see their spouse.
