Spouse Sponsor

[Saibaba]

Hello Friends.. I recently got married and my wife is in india. I am a PR holder in canada and would like to bring my wife to canada. Knowing the current Spouse sponsorship is taking more than 8 months, can you please suggest any other feasible way to bring her here atleast for a short duration. I work in a MNC and would like to know if there is a possibility to get a dependent visa through the organization.
Please help.. .

There is no "dependent visa" available since you are already a PR (rather than a foreign worker). She would need to apply for a TRV (tourist visa) if you want her to come here before she has PR.

To add, if you go for a TRV, include enough evidence showing she has strong ties in India. Ex: employment letter, savings, ownership of property, etc. If she has traveled to other countries that need a visa and has returned on time, it looks good. Also, include a copy of your marriage certificate (proof of relationship), and an itinerary of what she will be doing while here e.g. visiting museums, tours, etc and include proof.

Thanks for your responses Friends. Can you please suggest which of the following two is the best and valid option to be tried out.
1. Apply for PR and then apply for a Tourist Visa
2. Apply for Tourist Visa and then apply for PR.

I don't think it matters which way you go.

The key thing is to convince CIC that your wife will leave you behind at each of her visit. It is quite hard to remove that doubt when there is now a stronger tie to Canada than to India all over the fact that she is married to you. You and your wife have got to provide very strong proof that your wife will leave Canada in order to qualify for TRV.

If, in the event, that a TRV was refused, you must report this in your PR application if you haven't submitted the PR application then. If you have already submitted PR application and then found out wife got denied TRV after, your wife have to report this at her landing. This will be one of the questions asked at landing for PR. "Have you ever been denied entry to any country and/or Canada?" Your wife will have to state yes, she was denied TRV to Canada.

Just add - sometimes during the process, CIC asks for an updated Schedule A (IMM 5669). You should disclose the TRV refusal at that time in addition to when you land.
