HI Bryanna Thanks for you reply. Could you explain "when you last visited your family."? Again I really appreciate you taking the time to answer the questions. Since the PR has already been applied and is an outland application, she will go back for her interview and medicals, is that not something that visa officers look at?Bryanna said:
Visitors Visa (TRV) Processing time 2016 India
- Thread starter abc3123
- Start date
If, for example, you had traveled recently to meet your wife and children then IRCC may believe that another meeting so quickly is not necessary.atripnc said:
Based on your post, she seems to have applied for PR pretty recently.
Has she been told to attend an interview?
@atripnc
As the sponsorship processing hasn't started as yet, my advice is she should NOT apply for a TRV. There are very high chances of a refusal as her family ties to Canada will be far stronger than those to India (Canadian spouse + two Canadian children) + the visa officer would realize that she wants to remain in Canada while her PR is being processed.
She'll have better chances when you are approved as the sponsor and her file is transferred to NDVO (of course, her chances would still be low then)

Thanks hoping for the best!!
One question:- What if my visa get refused as I'm primary applicant. What are chances or result of my wife's status as she is secondary applicant and how much time does it take for her results.
Please shade some light on this scenario.

Hi @Bryanna,
My brother has applied for MPNP-B program and wants to make exploratory visit to Manitoba to gain additional 15 points. He first applied in December 2016 was refused due to there was no invitation letter provided from me (I am citizen here, lives in Ontario), he just mentioned in the statement of purpose letter that he will visit me too. Second reason they mentioned was that no invitation letter from the province of Manitoba. But we followed up on this with the province and they don't provide any invitation letter for this purpose. So, second time when he applied,I provided the invitation letter, my ITR is ~100K and one from my uncle who lives in Manitoba, sent him invite letter, but unfortunately he was refused again and there were several boxed checked, travel history, enough funds to carry out the stated purpose, legitimate purpose, etc. could you kindly suggest how to proceed now.
The purpose is very clear that is to make exploratory trip and visit me and my family.
He has established business in India and his family with 2 kids and he only applied visa for himself.
employment letter attached, last 2 years ITR, sales tax return and business account statement attached, monthly average transactions about CAD $3,000.
He has CAD $125,000 approx in bank balances.
Approx CAD $700,000 worth properties.
He has visited Thailand and Singapore in 2006 and 2005.
He requested the visa only for a month to explore the province, provided proof of itinerary and travel insurance and my uncle provided support for his accommodation.
Proof of expression of interest for MPNP-B was provided and in there they clearly says that they cannot provide invitation letter and strongly recommend you to apply on their own.
He also provided a few meeting confirmations from province to discuss the business plan to settle in Manitoba.
Sorry for long post, as I wanted to provide as much detail as I could to help you understand the case.
We are not sure why he has been refused or why the province doesn't provide invitation letter because without the trip it is absolutely impossible to be selected in the pool for that program as there minimum cutoff is 85/100 which is not possible without the trip, in every other criteria he has maximum points, and his total is 70.

Hi All,
I have applied for my Mother's TRV on 16th March 2017 from Pakistan, this is her status shown
Application status: We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of medical results: You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.
Review of additional documents: We do not need additional documents.
Interview: You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics: Completed.
Final decision: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
I want to ask that as her application status is showing "We recieved your application" Does this mean that the review of application has not been started yet??? Does this status changes throughout the process to OPEN or IN PROGRESS ? or this means that the application is IN PROCESS?
