beekind: The current processing time for a visitor visa is now six months. If she applies via the visitor route, IRCC does not classify birthdays as emergencies. While her studentship is not an issue, the main concern is why she is not applying for spousal sponsorship, as IRCC has prioritized family reunification. On May 26, 2023, IRCC announced new measures to strengthen family reunification, including faster temporary resident visa processing so that families can be together sooner while they wait for their permanent residence to be finalized. According to these measures, visitor visa applications will be processed within 30 days if you apply for permanent residence through spousal sponsorship. This means that if you apply for permanent residence via spousal sponsorship, which typically has a processing time of about one year, and then apply for a visitor visa, the visitor visa application will be processed within 30 days. This approach can significantly expedite the process of reuniting with your spouse in Canada. and no where it stated you need to be in canada to sponsor the PR for your wife You can be a sponsor if: 1.You are 18 years of age or older; 2.A Canadian citizen, permanent resident living in Canada, or person registered under the Canadian Indian Act; 3.You live in Canada or are a Canadian citizen planning to return to the country; 4.You are not receiving social assistance for reasons other than a disability; 5.You can provide for your basic needs, those of your spouse or partner and, if applicable, those of dependent children. 1 Like |

affoncad:Thank you for your input, concerning the bolded, we are not applying for her PPR yet because we are both doing some things here that means we cannot afford to relocate to Canada permanently at this time. SHe is undergoing a postgraduate research while I am currently overseeing a business. We are both just interested in a 3 weeks visit to Canada at this moment to visit friends and sight see... So would you say that her being a student and her status as a future PR is sufficient for her visa or do you have any other suggestions ? Thank you for your time. |

beekind: That means, technically, if you are a Canadian citizen living abroad with your wife, she can apply for a visitor visa, stating that you plan to visit Canada together and then return, since you are not currently living in Canada. You should provide evidence of your marriage and that you live together, such as photos of your wedding with family and friends, evidence of your business, proof that she is enrol in a postgraduate program then explain why she is not applying for permanent residence (PR) now, and outline how you plan to fund the trip, such as for a honeymoon, birthday, or another reason, and then return together to your present location. Either way, the system will recognize her as the spouse of a Canadian citizen. However, nobody can say how fast the process will be since she is not applying for PR and a visitor visa together. |

Please I need your help and suggestions I want to travel to Canada as a visitor And I don't have any invitation I just want to go there and spend quality time. I have enough fund to fund my trip. Will my visa be deny because I don't have any invitation? |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by JemmyO: 4:44am On May 19 |
Based on my knowledge, you don't necessarily need an invitation to apply as a tourist. What is important is demonstrating strong ties to your home country. While proof of funds is important, it is not the only requirement for visa approval. You should be able to demonstrate you are going back to your home country after your visit. NB: I am also an applicant |

cucumbar: The visa is valid till the expiry of your passport. If you have 3 years left on your passport, you get 3 years visa. If you have 10 years left, you get 10 years visitor’s visa |

Please if you get a passport submission notice , do you have to take your children (5yrs, 3yrs & 20months old) with you to VFS for drop off or you can just go with your spouse and take the passports of the children along with us when going to submit Do they need to sight the children in-person. Note that the children were exempted from biometrics because of their age so only my spouse and I went for biometrics then. |

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by affoncad: 9:58pm On May 19 |
Based on the recent high refusal rate of visitor visas and what I have seen in GCMS notes, it seems that IRCC does not really disclose detailed reasons for visitor visa refusals beyond repeating the same generic phrase: "Your current employment situation does not show that you are financially established," especially for first-time traveler applicants, even if you show a bank statement with 40 million. This trend may be influenced by the large number of asylum applicants who previously obtained visitor visas, now affecting recent processing methods. In contrast, student visa refusal notes tend to be more detailed. I will suggest that anyone looking to reapply for a Canadian visitor visa should first consider taking a trip to another holiday destination, such as the UK. Currently, obtaining a UK tourist visa is easier because of new rules where asylum seekers landing in the UK are sent to Rwanda. As a result, the British are more likely to issue visitor visas. Spending one or two weeks in the UK before reapplying for a Canadian visitor visa could improve your chances, as it demonstrates genuine travel intentions rather than repeatedly applying to visit the same destination.BUT as it stand now Canada is gradually making the visitor visa more difficult based on the current refusal rate! if anybody want to argue please if you have seen any gcms note within the last 2 month and well informed about the current asylum criss in Canada then you will understand the bases of your argument. 3 Likes |

affoncad: Not like I’m a fan of asylum seekers or anything but must we always tag asylum seekers as the cause for rejections ![]() Focus your energy on positivity , stop blaming asylum seekers for any downfall 1 Like |

tblaze007: Thank you for your perspective on this matter. It's important to clarify that the rejection of a visitor visa is not a downfall for any traveler. Can you honestly say you plan to return if your visa is granted? If not, you are part of the problem. I have no issue with any asylum seeker; it is the judge's job to decide your case. However, their abuse of visa terms is affecting other honest travelers now. That's the fact. Accept or reject it, or term it positivity or negativity; that's up to you. 3 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=lakeside3020 post=130040712][/quote] Success or refusal rate does not have anything to do with other people actions You very wrong let me give you an example mexican are visa free to canada but suddently due to high rate of mexican arriving to claim asylum the canadian govt cancel visa free agreememt with mexico. Please explain what you mean application is well package and meets all requirements and your application was completed truthfully it will be granted.?? As a firsttimer traveller how to achieve ur well package theory. So last year more were well packaged then high approval rate but this year poor package then high refusal rate?? Very funny explanation that lack logical and reality! 2 Likes |
