Your wife being pregnant will likely cause a delay in the processing of an application as likely she won't be able to complete her medical exam until after she gave birth. Part of the cic medical exam is an X-ray and many doctors will not have a pregnant woman get the X-ray as it can potentially harm the baby.

Ahaha I was just about to type that, you beat me to it!

You are right but actually it is possible, they have shields for pregnant woman, but it's in debate if it has no risk or some risk (it also depends how long your wife is pregnant, so it depends on the persons choice. You should however read into this before making a decision. There are enough threads about it on this forum, and enough information about the "possible risk" of it online.

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.

Thanks MikeMikIe. Your story is encouraging. Outland and TRV makes sense. JUst to be very clear, when you say submit as many documents and evidence as possible... what documents can I submit apart from obvious ones like wedding certificate, courtship proofs, wedding pictures, honeymoon pictures etc That is what they ask for right? Since, as you claim, Vietnam is also a high risk country, and you got a TRV inspite of outland application, this is quite relevant to know how to strengthen my TRV application, when finally I can like perhaps after the baby.

Jomz and Yamgia! Thanks for the concern and reminder. I won't take a chance on it. Though she got her biometrics and med done before that, but well she doesnt have the visa And now I will wait till she is in safer zone. No taking chances on this domain

Yes, but for a TRV, the documents are different. Sponsorship you have to show marriage is genuine, TRV just have to show your wife will not overstay her visit in Canada and will return back to her home country before the visa expires. Contrary to popular belief, they do allow someone to get a TRV despite having a sponsorship application pending. You might think, well how could she get a TRV when the sponsorship application shows that she intends to live in Canada permanently? That's true, however, one can still demonstrate they will leave Canada before the TRV expires, and still enter Canada again as a permanent resident later.

For the TRV, just have to show she has good finances, assets, lots of family back home, good travel history, has a good purpose of visit, stable employment, etc, anything to show she has good ties back home and will not overstay in Canada.

Strictly a lottery of luck. I know of so many that fit that criteria and were refused. Some people get lucky and the rest of us donate revenue to the government with failed applications.

Luck plays a role, but it's not the biggest factor in the success of the TRV application. How else you explain I got my wife a TRV AND also got my mom-in-law a supervisa? Both ladies by the way, are not rich and weren't employed at the time, and both were granted maximium lengths of stays (6 months / 2 years), and also both got visas for the life of their passports. It's mostly about the application's strength and how well put together it is. Also how else do you explain the growing number of people on this forum getting their spouses visas?

Did you ever get the GMCS notes for your stepson's refusal?

I have ordered them and I will make sure I pass on to you what I learn. I worry that so many of us get our hopes up on what I really believe is luck and a steady source of revenue for the government. If you look at your situation and you compare it to the many cases we have read about I think you have to admit you were lucky. Especially those of us that followed your advice and still got refused. My spouse I sort of understood but my son was the last straw. I am very curious to read the notes but I suspect I will read lip service.

I think it also has to do with the Case Manager....
