New TRV measures from IRCC for spouses having sponsorship application

[Aish####a]

I cannot remember exactly but I think: Toursist(to visit spouse, family, relative so on).

It will ask for an invitation in the beginning but once you finish it ask for additional documents. For me I put in an explanation letter for my husband. I am doing the application for him. Just submitted

What will you all write in the invitation letter? Your spouse plans to visit and never return? I thought one of the main things they will look for in TRV approval is ties back home. Something smells fishy in this new annoucement.

Just say you inviting your spouse under the new measures that was announced on the 26th of May, and do some explanations you feel that they should let your spous come to join you.

Is the invitation letter you guys are talking about the explanation why you are visiting your spouse in Canada on the first page of the portal?

Seems like PA should apply for this new TRV thing through new portal or GC key a/c.

Hope they do not require a new police clearance certificate for TRV, one I submitted for my spousal application is already expired (passed 6 months).

No, they didn’t ask for that

I am very curious and excited about this new announcement.

My outland spouse PR application was submitted in August 2022, and I have submitted a TRV in May 11, 2023. So for my application, it meets perfectly with this new policy. I am not sure if only new applications can fit here or the ongoing applications also work.

My status right now (May 28):

PR: The PR application has eligibility completed, and shows "Activity status updated: Background verification" on May 25, 2023. I heard that the process can take months even years if it is security screening. So I really hope to be able to have a visa while waiting.

TRV: has not been reviewed.

Hi Mia - pls keep us updated with your PR and TRV application.
If you are already updating your timelines in some other thread, just provide the link to that thread and will follow you there, so you wont have to repeat in multiple threads. Thank you and wishing you a very smooth ride in this journey. You seem to be the Trailblazer for me in this PR + TRV application.

Absolutely, currently waiting to receive the AOR as we've applied back in March. The moment the AOR gets here we are submitting the TRV immediately. My question is whether we can apply without having received the AOR or we should have received the AOR before applying for the TRV under the new mandates?

Hi, I was fortunate to talk to IRCC on Friday and asked this question as I am currently waiting for my AOR. They said that apply for TRV after receiving AOR and it takes 30 business days to get tbe TRV, which is expedited. Hope that helps

Do you think the chances of approval for visitor visa if spouse have no current unemployment in their home country? If I'm covering the cost of the visit? Yes we have aor, we applied in November 2022.

Did they say anything about what to put for ties to home country? What if you ask for 6-month TRV, how can you demonstrate ties to home country then since you likely won't have a job anymore.

Provide details about your job as of moment of application. Don't provide details as of some future date that has not happened yet.

Did you confirmed this with the agent thatyou talked to? Because if that is the case that is good news indeed.

My guess is they won't put too much emphasis on home-ties since under this new measure, OWP is also going to be allowed for Spouses with TRVs.

So we gotta pay $200 and apply for a TRV now as well....LOL
