Should/Can I get Visitor Visa for my spouse?

Hi,
Can someone please advise me on the spousal sponsorship based on my Visa status in Canada? We are super frustrated with the process and lack of transparency on status updates. I am losing patience and wish to see her in Canada.
1. I am in Canada on closed work permit.
2. My spouse is in outland. We have applied for her Open Work Permit. Timeline of the application:

• Dec 20, 2020: Acknowledgement of application
• April 15, 2021: Medical passed
• Since then, the application is stuck on background check

3. I applied for PR along with my spouse. Timeline:

• July 28, 2021: AOR
• October 6, 2021: Medical passed
• Dec 10, 2021: Spouse gave another medical exam as old one expired

I am visiting my country in May 2022, and want to return back with her. But the way both Open Work Permit and PR applications are being delayed, I am skeptical if we would be able to do it. What should we do? Can we apply for her Visitor Visa? Any other suggestion is very appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

I need an advice from my fellow group members. Currently I am on study permit, and can apply for PGWP after 6 months. My wife and 02 daughters are outlander. What should be my strategy to bring them in Canada with minimum risk of visa rejection.
