Student Visa while Permanent Resident Visa in process???

[gatita71]

I am currently living in Peru with my Peruvian husband. We recently submitted a spousal class permanent resident visa application and are now waiting the estimated 12 months for a response. I decided to move to Peru to be with my husband while we are waiting for the application to be processed. However, I have received a job offer in Canada that is a good opportunity and I am trying to determine if there is a way we can both move back to Canada before the 12 months it is going to take for the permanent resident visa to be processed.

Does anyone know if it is possible to apply for a study permit, and the required temporary resident visa that Peruvians need, for my husband to be able to come to Canada as a student in the interim? If so, I am wondering what the likelihood is that they will grant him the TRV. We applied for a TRV for him to visit Canada with me prior to submitting the permanent resident visa application and he was denied. Does anyone know if it makes a difference in the decision process if you apply for a TRV after submitting a permanent resident visa application? Do they assess the TRV differently if it is for studying versus just visiting?

Any help or advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

It is unlikely that a non-visa exempt spouse will be granted ANY kind of temporary permit, whether study or visitor's. As far as CIC is concerned, they are at the head of any list of "people most likely to over-stay a temporary visa", and you would need to present an excellent case showing every single tie he has to Peru to be considered. Even then, it is highly unlikely they will think these ties will out-weigh his tie to Canada, namely you, and the fact that you are returning to Canada to take up a job only makes that worse.
