Hi all, for someone who came to canada on a study permit long ago and pgwp expired , got married, left country now for a vacation but has a visitor visa TRV(approved while inside canada), and is now re-entering Canada but the spousal open work permit is still in process and not approved yet, what should she answer to CBSA when asked basic questions like "purpose of visit , return tickets ? , when will you leave canada ??' please advise because once her sowp gets approved she has to stay in the country and work so not sure what to answer for above question to CBSA

She is trying to enter as a visitor when not truly a visitor so risks being denied entry. Be honest about the reason for travel.

hello, please adivse what should she say? because at the moment she only hold valid trv not the sowp so she is technically a visitor ? correct me if im wrong. Or she should say that she will enter as a visitor to meet me and wait for her sowp to be approved within the six months visit time ?
