Hello All,
I am on an open work permit here in Canada, working since the beginning of this year. I have applied for my wife's Spousal Open work permit (From India)
Applied on: 3rd June 2021
Biometrics Update on: 26th July 2021
Gave upfront medical in August first week just to expedite the process -> Not showing on mycic yet.
No update since then.
I know that the processing times for Spousal Open work permit have increase and it might take some time.
But my question is:
Is there a possibility that my wife now applies for a Visitor Visa (as family reunification)? I saw the news that they are processing new visitor visa applications made after 7th September faster. I just wanted to make sure whether this would not have any affect on her current application for SOPW and is it worth applying for a visitor visa - so that she can come here and stay with me until the SOPW is approved?
Any feedback/guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks
