How can we get the TRV stamp from inside Canada before she travel out side Canada ?

Don't think she didn't apply for a TRV. She applied for a visitor record to remain in Canada, correct? If she lost her status, she cannot apply for a TRV from inside Canada. So did she apply for TRV before she lost her status or not.

 

[I.shawki]

Yes correct visitor record, her TRV has expired in the same day as the permit which was August 2024
And then we applied to restoration of status as visitor
But when I asked the lawyer he said it's a visitor record and I have to send the approval letter with passport to get TRV stamp
So what the visitor record means in this case and how do I get the TRV stamp as she need to travel urgently

A VR is just to maintain status in Canada. VR is NOT a TRV. Once she leaves Canada her VR is cancelled because no longer needed. She cannot apply for a TRV or get it stamped from within Canada. So one she leaves she applies outside Canada.

So there's no any option to get the TRV from inside Canada even if i apply for visitor visa within Canada and attach the visitor record with the requirements?

No. You must have valid status as a student or worker to apply for TRV from within Canada. Your licensed immigration lawyer should know this.

Thank you for your reply

NO! have to leave canada and then apply.

Ok, what the percentage of getting her visitor visa approved from out side Canada if iam holding work permit for almost 4 years now and i have 8 month child ( born in canada ) still in need for care inside Canada so they have to come back together ? Any idea

There is no way to know that information unless you do an access to information request. Having a Canadian child is no benefit. In fact, it shows that you will not return to home country. If you have a valid work permit then you can apply inside Canada so why apply outland. When does your WP expire?

If she didn’t apply to extend her SOWP I assume she doesn’t qualify for one. She is not a visitor which is one of the issues it appears as though she wants to live in Canada. She should either qualify for an SOWP or there is a good chance she will not be able to return to Canada as a visitor in the near future. Do you have a realistic pathway to PR? Do you have an ITA? She may not be able to extend her visitor record even if she remains in Canada when she applies next time because she isn’t visiting Canada.

She may not be able to extend her visitor record even if she remains in Canada when she applies next time because she isn’t visiting Canada.

That's a surprise and big shock for me , even if i renewed my work permit we will not be able to extend her visitor record as well ?

My big fear if she left the country she will not be able to be back as visitor as she is not qualified for SOWP.

I applied for OINP program foreign worker with job offer - material handler with the new portal, still waiting for invitation?

Any suggestions or recommendations?

She can extend her VR to remain in Canada. At some point it can be refused. Having spouse who is working and Canadian child doesn't make an automatic approval. Make sure she shows a lot of funds.

If she doesn't have a TRV she applies outside Canada and it could be refused. She needs to show ties to return to home country and cash in the bank. All her family ties are in Canada so chances of refusal are high.

You are in a non EE stream and you are years away from PR even if invited tomorrow. When does your permit expire?

 

[I.shawki]

Will expire August 2026
