Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know I am reading your posts on a day to day basis, I don't reply because you already say all the right things and unfortunately we have no news from Vienna
This is just beyond frustrating at this stage!!! Expecting from people to put their lives on a 1 YEAR pause in order to be with their family members?! A scandal if you ask me.
Anyway, my husband and I are thinking of applying for a TRV for me (I am not from a visa exempt country) while waiting for my PR so I can visit him in Canada, spend a month there, help him with moving to a new apartment and travel during holidays. He visited me several times and he just has no free days left at work!!! I know it's very tricky
Does anyone have experience with this?
It basically means I should prove DUAL INTENT, first one to visit Canada temporarily, leave until the visa expiration and the second one to live in Canada permanently when PR is obtained. I should prove that I will leave Canada and not stay with him, which I would never do of course but I hear they just don't like these cases. So showing ties to my home country is of highest importance.
The problem is that I was in between contracts and decided to quit my job a month ago in order to focus on my master thesis and finish it before moving to Canada. I still have at least a few months work. Even if I got the PR now and moved I would have to come back in a few months to my home country to present my thesis and get the degree. So I would be applying as a student (a very good one if it makes any difference), living in a family house, I own a car and some land, have bank accounts, my parents have a family business, I can prove all this of course. I also rejected an offer from a Canadian college where I was admitted few months ago and decided to complete studies in my home country, and not to jeopardize the PR process, which I hope proves I do not want to go to Canada at any cause. And with the processing times becoming longer and longer we just want to have a chance to see each other, like a plan B! We were thinking of writing a letter explaining all this and connecting it with our PR application.
Do you think we make a case? I suppose a rejection does not influence the PR process, but can it have some other consequences that you know of? Any info or advice is welcome.
Thanks, have a nice weekend
