I filed my wife's immigration at the end of February. From everything that I've read here, it seems like it might take until October or November at least (not sure though) for the whole process to be complete. But I really want to see her before that. I'm thinking about inviting her to Canada on a visit visa for a couple of months. Does anyone know if applying for a visit visa would hurt the sponsorship application? Should she write to the NDVO to inform them before coming to Canada?
