I'm already in Canada since the past one year on a Work Permit, but my TRV expired months ago. My spouse is also in canada and she has an Open Work Permit attached to mine. There are a few questions on the TRV application form IMM5257 that im confused about,

1. Purpose of visit - Should this be "returning worker" in my case, even though im already in Canada? Or should i choose other and write that im already working here

2. Name of person/institute youre visiting : I can put my employers address here but what do i fill in for my spouse who's also living in Canada with me. She has an Open work permit but she is not working.

3. Funds available - Should this just the money i have available in my Canadian bank account? Since im the only earning member, what should i fill in for my spouse in the field? Should i split the amount i have in my bank account and put half in mine and half in hers?

Hi ,

I am applying the TRV for my spouse who's in Canada too but when i got the check list documents they asking me to upload IMM5257 which says application made outside of Canada. ( but we are applying within canada)

I am confused. Do you know why ?
