Spouse or Visitor Visa

[Prince2541]

Hi friends

My wife is in canada working on closed work permit.
Our marriage is 5 years old and we have a 5 month old son.
Me and my son is in India.

We applied for my son's visitor visa but it got refused for reason that
The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.

Now my question is that should be again apply for his Visitor Visa or shall we apply for my Spouse Visa and include my son in Spousal Visa application.

His mom wants to be with her little one. The visitor visa processing time is 21 days and Spousal Visa processing time is 20 weeks.

What is the best course of action for us.

Thanks

No such thing as a spouse visa. Are you applying for open work permit? What is her stream, NOC and when does permit expire? Best plan is for you to apply for SOWP and son, a visitor visa. Show funds to settle in Canada. Who will take care of son if only 5 months? Show proof of daycare (ability to pay) or getting on waiting lists because it can be years.

Or do you have no plans to stay in Canada and just visit. If just visiting, again who will take care of child. Most daycares don’t start until 1 year.

Best course of action is dependant what your end game is .
In your postings you’re talking about Express Entry , starting a business, getting an LMIA etc .
You’re all over the map
Are you a visitor or planning on staying ?
SOWP if you’re planning on staying or TRV for a short visit .
Plus why didn’t you apply for a visa along with your wife ?
You & the baby could be the ties for her to return
Appears she had the baby then left. SOWP , TRV aren’t guaranteed, nor should you think they are just because she chose to leave & work

Hi naturgrl and Copingwithlife

thanks for your respective replies.

I have received the application forms today for review from my immigration consultant.

He sent me an Open Work Permit form and a Visitor Visa form for my son.

My wife's work permit is set to expire in Feb 2026 but in my son's visitor visa, he has showed that my son plans to stay in Canada from June 2024 to april 2025 !

Obviously we want our son to be with us till my wife's entire work permit duration, so what is his logic behind putting apr 2025?
ALso isnt visitor visa for less than 6 months?

Please guide

I have been bitten once by an immigration consultant here and dont want same mistakes to be repeated again by this one.
