Hi Aman,
I am wondering that did you add your spouse name in PR file at the time you applied her visitor visa.
One more thing, my wife is in India and I am awaiting results on PR file. Is it a best time to apply visitor visa for my wife? If yes then is it better to apply from Canada or India?
Thank you,
Jay.
Hi Jay,
Anyone can apply for a visitor visa, regardless of where his/her spouse lives. The only two things that the case officer is concerned of are 1) The applicant can support his/her stay in Canada (financially) 2) The applicant would return to his/her home country after the completion of their visit or before the expire of their visa.
Now anything that you provide to the case officer should be supporting these two conditions. Regardless of the status of your permanent residence file, please be sure to show enough money in bank, pay stubs. Also, your pr file can show that the applicant is already in the process of becoming Canadian so it could help as they will be little assured that she will return if gets denied PR. Nowdays, CIC recognizes dual intention of the applicant, and respect it, depending on how it is presented to the officer. Be sure to support these two conditions as much as you can, and hope for the best.
Let me know, if any other questions.
Thanks,
Aman
