Magkakaproblema ba ang application ng mapapangasawa ko if she applied for a tourist visa and she got denied? Hindi siya kasi binigyan ng invitation letter ng brother niya dito kaya we resorted to asking my friend to invite her instead.
Thank you sa sasagot.
Is she going to be the principal applicant for a spousal sponsorship? If so, why do you need a Temporary Resident Visa which may open her to a denial? I guess if she wants to visit you, then she would need a TRV.
Suffice it to say, there is no clear answer to your question. But basing it on the people's experience...the Sponsorship of a spouse is mainly dependent on the authentic relationship existing between the sponsor and the spouse (assuming the spouse is eligible to sponsor in the first place.) Her denial of a TRV may not necessarily affect the Sponsorship -- especially if the sponsorship is strong and there is enough documentary evidence to prove it. If she gets denied for a TRV, that denial may be asked, but from what i know, it wouldn't necessarily be adverse to the spousal application. Hence, while TRV is based on "strong ties to country of origin," Spousal application is based on documentary (and at times, testimonial) evidence that the relationship is genuine. The two applications are mostly mutually exclusive of each other.
The only case we know that TRV affected spousal sponsorship is that of an applicant who kept trying to get a TRV multiple times and has gotten denied multiple times. It gave the CIC doubts that she is now using marriage of convenience just to get to Canada because history shows that she has attempted to enter Canada multiple times. But that is really extreme. One or two denials may not affect your sponsorship.
Having said that, I suggest collecting any and all documentary evidence to prove the relationship is genuine (regardless if she gets a TRV or not).
Good luck
