Spousal TRV for a Spousal Sponsorship Applicant - Help

[noxmachina]

My wife (who is a Canadian citizen/my sponsor) and I just finished submitting a Spousal PR application for me. We also recently found out about the new faster Spousal TRV measures the IRCC announced in May 2023 and we're planning on applying but we're stumped.

I can find almost nothing online about how to specifically apply for a Spousal TRV under these new measures except for the release update here. Am I missing something? Is there a dedicated option for a Spousal TRV on the IRCC portal? Is it just a regular TRV application?

The release update says "you can reunite with your spouse while you wait for a decision on your PR application" - a decision like that can easily take over 6 months. Do you just apply to extend your TRV in that case?

What about the info you provide when you apply for this TRV, since you want to stay with your partner while you wait for a decision and the TRV forms ask for your length of stay?

Practically no official information is available online, or at least I'm not able to find it. Does anyone here who's been through this have any idea?

Would appreciate any help honestly.

You must wait until you have AOR before you submit the TRV application if you want to fall under this policy. AOR takes 1-3 months after the spousal sponsorship application is submitted.

Post any further questions to one of the main discussion threads on this topic. Here's one: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/trv-for-spouse-and-dependant.803609/page-61

Yes, you can apply to extend your visitor status in Canada if you don't have a decision in 6 months.

Hi. I am a Canadian Citizen and we already have a spousal sponsorship application in process since 2020. We have gone through and passed all the requirements except the background check which is taking a long time. Neither IRCC nor the MP is of much help.

We are planning to apply for a TRV and have a few questions before we start the process, if anyone is able to guide us.

1. How much money the applicant needs to show in our bank statements?
2. Will giving my bank statement help with the application regardless I don't have much savings in my account?
3.Should all our documents match with what we have provided for the spousal application. I changed my job last year and was told I don't need to update IRCC with it as have already been approved to sponsor my spouse. all information of the applicant needs to be up to date only.
4. Do we need to give my spouse's children's(from previous marriage) custody documents again? (The custody is with their mother, which IRCC is already aware of and have been provided with evidence).
5. what should we put in under duration of stay?
6. Should we use the GCKEY site to apply from as our file spousal application is linked to it and there is an option for applying for a TRV through it or should we make a new account through the new IRCC portal?
7. there is a form to fill out for family members does the applicant need to mention the name of their step kids even though they don't have custody of them?

All the help will be much appreciated.

Hi, my sponsorship PR application has been in process for almost 2 years now. I have done everything including interview but only BV shows in progress after it was showing completed for a long time. I was approved for TRV in a months time and I'm intending to travel next moth to Canada. What are the chances of getting the PR approved if they approved the TRV?
