Visitor visa GRANTED!(Wife of PR)
- Thread starter tannygirl
- Start date
Hello All,
I am a PR and I am sponsoring my wife under Family class.
My wife's application is now in London VO as she is in Dubai, UAE. It was forwarded last May 2018.
If she comes to Canada under TRV (provided she'll be approved) and her outland PR application gets approved, how will that work out? Does she have to go back to Dubai to complete the application or just cross the boarder and back? Crossing the boarder means both of us need to have a US visa as well(i don't have one)?
Thank you!

I’m happy to hear that you got it, you are very lucky. One of my friends try to get a visitor visa to Canada and he is a captain from the military. He got refused because they said he didn’t satisfy the officer that he would come back after his stay. I thought being a high rank in the military would be the strongest tie with your home country.Hi everyone!
I applied for the Visitor Visa for Canada from India.
I am happy to inform you that IT HAS BEEN GRANTED to me!
My husband (sponsor) and I (principal applicant) have applied for my PR under Family Class.
On the forum I had read several times that it's nearly impossible to be granted a visitor visa while PR application is in process and that there is a 98% rejection rate, but I'm here to say that it's POSSIBLE!
But I applied and I got it!
I have been granted a ONE-YEAR MULTIPLE ENTRY visa to Canada.
What worked for us is that I showed PLENTY of TIES TO HOME and also convinced them that I will not overstay.
Here is a list of documents I submitted- It took a lot of time and energy to gather, but it's been worth it!
IMP: I applied for a travel duration of ONE MONTH. (They usually issue a 6 month visa, but best not to say you'll stay for 6 months!) It has to be long enough that it's believable, but short enough that it doesn't make them feel like you're trying to stay permanently !
Before applying for Canada Tourist Visa, I also applied (and was granted) a 10 year multiple entry visa to the U.S.
I think this carries some amount of weightage so it's probably a good idea to get a US tourist visa before applying for Canada.
My documents:
1. Income Tax Returns for last 4 years ( as many years as you have filed!)
2. As I am a freelancer, so no employer leave letter I submitted-My invoices, Contracts & Purchase orders for my work. (to prove I have ties to home)
3. Aadhar card copy
4. Drivers license copy
5. Pan card copy
6. Marriage certificate
7. PCC for all the countries I have spent more than 6 months in.
8. Visa Medical
9. Bank statements of the last 6 months
10.Car ownership papers (with ongoing loan)
11.Return flight tickets (THIS IS VERY IMP APPARENTLY- NEVER BOOK A ONE WAY TICKET, THEY'LL SURELY REJECT THE VISA)
12.My travel & employment history (same as submitted for the PR visa application)
13.My resume
14.A kick ass cover letter giving reasons why I will not overstay the Visitor Visa and why I have to return to India after my trip.
15.A letter from my dad on a stamp paper saying I will return as per my flight dates.
My husband's documents:
16. His employment letter of confirmation from the company where he works
17. Income Tax Returns filed in Canada
18. Pay stubs from the last 3 months
19. Bank Statements of last 6 months
20. PR Card copy
21. SPONSORSHIP APPROVAL LETTER (Super important)
22. Our travel together (flight tickets, hotel bookings etc)
23. Our photos together from the wedding & before & after the wedding- to establish that our marriage is real!(this is very important too, apparently, one girl told me to send that in because they rejected her visa saying there isn't enough proof of her marriage- even though she submitted her marriage certificate copy!!)
25. Our chat messages from over 1 year (same as submitted for the PR application)
26. Travel insurance that my husband bought for me (in Canada) for the duration of my trip.
27. A notarized declaration from my husband stating he will pay for my expenses & that I will not be a burden on the Canada.
28. A notarized invitation letter (addressed to VO) from my husband inviting me to visit him in Canada.
29. A hand written personal invitation from him to me asking me come and visit him (this is a personal letter, with lovey-dovey words about how much he misses me and wants to see me)
The reason why people get rejections is because they're not proving their ties to their home country.
If you can show that you have a lot of things/ people/ property/ assets that are in your home country that you won't just leave behind- they will grant you a visa.
Another thing, in my cover letter, I stated UP FRONT that I have a PR application in the system (gave my UCI etc) and said that I would never do anything to jeopardise my PR application by over staying on a Tourist Visa. I just want to visit my husband since we're newly married and I miss him.
Stay positive and send as many documents as you can.
be truthful and stick to your word if you're granted the Visa-
The VOs are humans too and they can empathise with your feelings, as long as you convince them you're not going overstay, they won't reject you.
Good luck & God Speed everyone! 8)
Hello everyone !!
My husband is a PR holder working in Canada and he has sponsored for me and it’s been 6 months now the process is on.and as it takes pretty long I was wanting to visit him for few months so thought of applying for the visit visa and this forum gave me good hopes .But I just have few doubts :
If I apply for visitor visa and if it gets approved and while I am in Canada and my PR approval comes, I heard we have an option to do the stamping at Ottawa. My question is do we need to notify CIC that I am already in Canada on visitor visa. I am asking this question as they ask for passport to be sent to Delhi office, how would they know that i am in Canada if i have the visitor visa and here in Canada. Also if i can do my landing stamping in Ottawa does that mean I do not have to cross the border in that case. Please let me know to the earliest as I would be trying for visitor visa. Your help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Kavvi,
Did you apply for TRV if so can you please let me know the result. I had applied TRV before applying for sponsorship and got rejected. So need some advice. Awaiting for your reply

Hi,
Please share the decision about the TRV visa. Did you get your TRV visa approved. Please help I am trying to take same process.
Mine got rejected too and the reason they gave was " the govt isn't convinced that I would return back to my home country" :-( We have now applied for PR, we sent our application on 16th July and are waiting to receive the application number coz our lawyer said we can apply for TRV only once we have the application#. My husband is a Canadian citizen and I am Indian.
There are tons of people whose TRV got rejected and what I have ubderstood so far is....if u dont show strong ties to your home country, the chances of getting it approved is very minimal!
