Hi Guys, i have a question i'm hoping someone will be able to help me with:
We applied outland back in Feb 2016 via Lima, Peru
Our application has been in Lima since the first week of April
When we applied, processing times were 10 months.
Now, we had our MP call and get some information for us about a month ago, which is when we were informed that processing times had gone up to 13 months. Our MP also said we should try for a TRV if my husband wants to spend the holidays with me and my family in canada.
Today we received our notes and the following was noted about the MP's interaction with them:
"Received a request for case specific information via MP line. Spoke to Debbie from the office of XXX.
Gave case status, docs rec'd 04/12, delays currently 13m. Suggested TRV if client wishes to visit
Canada for Xmas, sent info client about dual intent."
Whats off tho, is that it shows "Office: Montreal Call Centre" and not Visa Office Lima, Peru
So i'm not sure how much the Montreal Office really knows about our specific case. Maybe they just give out general information, not case specific?
Our worry, and the reason why we haven't applied for a TRV yet is, that my husband overstayed his work Visa in the states. He overstayed by a few years but after we met and started dating, he left the states. He had applied for a student Visa for Canada before leaving the states but was refused. Now he is back home in Peru waiting out this process.
Our fear is that the TRV will be refused simply because he overstayed in the states PLUS the student Visa refusal - chances are pretty low we assume. But now with the Notes saying that the Montreal call centre suggested applying for a TRV we dont know if that advise even applies to us - considering our history.
Any advise is greatly appreciated Lips sealed
