Hello everyone, i am from the Philippines and i am planning to visit my husband in canada who is a PR. We are already processing our spousal sponsorship application this month. My husband told me to apply for TRV once the application number of our spousal application is released. I have tried applying for TRV last May but sadly it was refused. My question is, is there an assurance that applying for spousal visa first would bring an approval for the TRV? We asked an immigration lawyer in canada and advised us to apply spousal visa first then TRV.
