Visitor Visa (Spouse) Timeline post Biometrics

[gokul0989]

Hi All, I am PR in Canada. My spouse is in India and she is not working at the moment.
I have applied for her visitor visa on Dec 16, 2020. We have shown funds in her account and booked return tickets.
Just confirming that the visitor visa falls under the Temporary Residence Visa. Still there is no bio metric request and it has been more than a month.
Is this normal and would there be any chance for them to decline or ask for more information. I have not mentioned that I am going to apply for spousal sponsorship.

Kindly appreciate your help.

If you have paid biometrics fee ( I believe it is $85) along with the application, then ideally you should get biometrics request letter within 24 hours.

Your best bet is to call IRCC and ask them about this.

There is a very high chance she will be denied a TRV and processing times are very long. You are much better off starting the sponsorship process.

Please advise if you are PR/citizen
If not, what reason you gave under essential travel to get written authorization

My spouse is a PR. My visit visa application is to visit my spouse. I am more qualified than any other family member... Under those exempted from travel restrictions as immediate family, spouse is number one.
So i don't get it... It is funny!!

You're right. But eligibility doesn't always mean automatic visa approval. The immigration officer needs to be convinced that you'll leave canada at the end of your stay.

I know it's tough. I'm a Canadian PR and my wife's TRV application is still under review it's been so many months since we have seen each other.
