Family sponsorship

[krunalpatel1993]

Hello,

I got my permenant residence in july 2019 and went to india to get married nov 2019. I applied for my wife's PR file in feb 14, 2019. She got her biometrics and medical done on march 13,2020. There is no updates since march. Should i wait for her permenant residency OR i can apply for her visitors visa ? Please help.

You can certainly try for a TRV but the chances of acceptance are low. You will need to convince CIC that this is only a temporary visit and she will be returning home.

Thank you canuck78. I appreciate your advice.

The chances of a TRV increase dramatically after the sponsorship has been approved in principle. I haven't had any refusals under those circumstances*
*results will vary due to personal situation

AIP is usually around a month before approval. TRVs are likely taking over a month.

How do you define “approved in principle”?

The acceptance of the sponsorship.

CIC defines the stage.
