Your dependent cannot land before the PA lands. Your dependents can apply for a visitor's visa and travel if they can obtain the authorisation letter.
I agree that the dependent cannot land before PA, But if we apply for a visitor visa tho we will still need to prove that she will leave Canada if visa expires, but we already have a PR profile and it is already approved. It is kind of impossible to prove

Just because you have a PR application doe snot by itself negate that you will not leave Canada of you apply for a TRV. Many PR applicants successfully apply for student and visits visa while there PR application is in progress, and dual intent is allowed.

Here is my previous post on this:

Hi there :) A simple question, I recently got married and changed all my ID's already using my husband's last name. Though my passport and work permit of course, still has my maiden name. Is that okay though? We are planning to submit our Spousal Sponsorship application this May. Thank you in advance for your response. I was told earlier that its fine not to change your passport's last name immediately. We are both here in Canada by the way.

It seems like they are starting COPR for outland spouses. However, so far I have only seen those cases getting approval which have AOR in 2018 or 2019. Eagerly waiting for someone from AOR 2020 or early 2021 to report here so that we can start relaxing a bit.

Agreed!

For some reason I received a ghost update last night even though all stages are passed since mid-March. Anyone else who got the ghost update?
