Show that you’re travelling to Canada for an essential reason

yes you can apply. The chance of rejection is high.

why chances of rejection high?

Good question, I believe it is very hard to convince visa officer that you will leave the country after visa validity period (because your intent is to stay in Canada with your spouse)

I did not say you could not convince (it is just a general situation to most people) and I said you can apply, it is your right.

I see from an earlier post that the essential travel restriction will be lifted after June 30th, is this confirmed? Can me wife travel freely to Canada after that date just for purpose to reunite with me? Assuming she come from country that does not need a tourist visa.

1. It depends on Covid infection rate, it could be extended.

yes, it is confirmed but it could be changed.

Regardless this travel restriction, if you are Canadian citizen or PR and your wife travels for essential reason, she is exempted. Check the following CBSA memo for examples of essential travel,

I think the magic words to use are "family reunification", as others have stated.

I think the magic words to use are "family reunification", as others have stated.

I do not think that interpretation is up to date. They seem to be being quite a lot stricter, asking specifics about length of stay, purpose, and how 'essential.' Those words to not appear to be magic.

on the record, these are not magic words but disastrous words if only by themselves

Unfortunately it is only for USA foreign nationals. This does not apply to any other country - yet.

I just read the official notice on the government website, and I don't see anything saying it only applies to Americans. Maybe they will change this later, but right now it looks like it's for any foreign nationals who are immediate family members of Canadian citizens/PRs
