newly married

Thanks for clarifying. So its a regular visit visa. For which ideally the applicant should have a job elsewhere which requires her to return. But I want her to stay and not return so I guess I can't apply for a visit visa. I CAN apply outland even if my spouse is in Canada is helpful. How long can she be allowed to stay in Canada will probably be shorter than the processing period.

Once she is in Canada on a TVR, you could apply online for a extension, that way she can stay longer. For at least most part or the whole application.

1. That's correct. 2. You have to start all over, and apply outland then I think (not too sure)?

Some of other redflags aside from the ones mentioned above could be cultural, like as example a small court wedding while the norm of the culture in their eyes are big weddings with a lot of family. Or stuff like didn't meet any of each others families, almost no family or no parents at wedding, no honeymoon (not even a weekend away as honeymoon) almost no pictures with each other and go on.

Thanks for clarifying. So far no red flags I can see. We do sorta have a biggish age difference, like 14 years. But we are also expecting a child if that soothes the CIC nerves. And we did have a proper marriage with guests and stuff and a proper honeymoon and knew each other for about 5 years before we got married. And as you updated one can extend the TRV stay. That should help if we apply inland... Now only if we could get to Canada !! That blasted TRV. She has no reasons to return that I can site. And now she is expecting. Wonder if that helps us ...

A child usually doesn't soothes the CIC nerves. In a lot of fraud cases they had children too, so they usually don't make the case that much better (not that it makes your case worse).
And if you get in Canada and are able to get extension, apply outland! Inland can take 24 months, while outland can take half or less of that. Also when applying inland she can't go outside of Canada during the process. Well she can but if she gets denied at the boarder when going back to Canada, then your inland application is useless and you have to start over, your spouse needs to be in Canada to be able to complete inland applications.

Inland application and status have different rules, so you should look into that first (talking about the extension and such, she still needs to get legally into Canada first). And that she is pregnant and married to you, reduces the chance of TVR, since it makes her ties stronger to you then home

No one here can tell you if you will get the TRV or not. It's entirely up to the visa officer. Just note that she would not qualify for health care and you would have to pay out of pocket if the baby is delivered in Canada. Those costs can be quite high.

Refused 4 times!! Blimey! But did she finally get it? And yes I understand that my wife would have no access to healthcare and the bill would be paid by me. But thanks for pointing out

No, she never got a TRV. So I quit my job in Canada, took a 65% pay cut and moved abroad to be with her.

Awesome! Where's the thumbs up icon. I actually am taking a pay cut to GO to Canada. Lol! What paycut I have to go and look for a job there once I reach. Leaving behind cool, tax free land! But all fine for long term gains. Hopefully.
What I am wondering is that you landed in 2015. So you are still not a national. You eventually have to go back to keep your PR. This 30 months clause.

 

[MilesAway]

I'm a Canadian citizen. My wife landed in 2015.

So finally, all you lovely people seem to indicate, that my best option remains Spouse sponsorship outland. Which might take an year or more depending on where my spouse is filing from. And during that time I should pretty much forget about seeing her, at least in Canada. And by the time this PR comes, I'll have a child to apply for also it seems. I wonder if I have to go through the whole process again. or at least he/she can get a TRV.

You could always try getting a TVR, you have nothing to lose! And the times stated on cic are a general timeline, if you don't have a complicated application or any delays (documents missing) it's often less than what cic states.

 

[MilesAway]

Since the child will likely be born before the application is finished, you will need to notify CIC of the change in family composition. You'll need to update some forms and send in some information, but your wife and child will get their PR at the same time.

You should try for a TRV first. If that works, then you can go to Canada, apply outland and wait together.

Edit: If the child is born in Canada, then it will be a Canadian citizen. You would still need to update CIC.

Since you don't seem to have many red flags, I would suggest you apply outland, and then apply for a visitor visa for your wife. Of course there's a higher than normal chance of rejection, but you really have nothing to lose by applying. Note that if you apply for both the TRV and sponsorship, you should submit as many documents and evidence as possible to improve the processing time and chance of success.

My wife got her TRV while married to me and had a spnsorship file pending, and she got a multiple entry TRV for the life of her passport(see my signature). Both her country (Vietnam) and your wife's are deemed high risk overstay countries that require biometrics, so yeah both parties would have a harder time getting a TRV than most for sure.

I just noticed that you're a PR, not a citizen. In which case, you're supposed to remain in Canada in order to sponsor.

 

[MilesAway]

The OP stated they were a PR.

 

[mikeymyke]

I just updated that Miles, literally seconds ago.

My Hubby had a TRP that was good for three years...not even sure if you can still get them, his expired in 2015..I understand that you can get a work permit if you reside in Canada and if you get one for three years you could apply either inland or out...I know the rules have changed on the TRP's but have a look...
