Not sure what you're looking for suggestion wise. You can apply and see how it goes. Where is your spouse from

Again not really sure what you're asking, you can submit the application and see how it goes.
some say it's hard to get a visit visa for spouse, the reason being you have to show your ties back in your home country and you will return at the end of the specified visit period. Most of the cases are rejected. Good travel history helps, unfortunately nothing much as far as his travel history goes. Happened to read a post where someone said that he was able to get a visit visa for his wife who was in India while the PR was under process. He requested a 3 month visa to celebrate (reason being first bday celebration after marriage) and he gave a declaration and letters from both spouses stating that PR is under process and will return at the end of the 3 month period, will not break canadian immigration rules by overstaying. All other forms and docs including bank statements were submitted as well. But some of the other members say that visit visas are usually declined especially to Asians. Was kinda wondering should i spend money and give it a try or rather wait for the PR to be complete. Was checking the forum for new updates on visit visas, nothing to my knowledge.

Yes, I know all of this.

It was 100 bucks when we did it so it's not a huge expense. No one can tell you if it will be approved or not, the only thing you can do is take a shot at it and find out.
