Im a US citizen trying to bring my yemeni wife

[Mkorin]

Hello!
Im a US citizen I got married to Yemeni Citizen and due to the war in Yemen it is hard to stay there so we managed to travel to Egypt and currently living there. Im a student and I cant stay here in Egypt for to long because i need to go back to the US to finish my education. I want to know if there is a way to bring my wife to Canada since the US requires Visa. I chose Canada because it’s closer for me to go back and forth between them. Im currently applying to sponsor my wife to the US but it will take time.

Canada is going to require a Visa as well.

Her only option is to qualify to immigrate as an economic immigrant based on her level of education, work experience, language abilities, age, funds available to establish herself in Canada and other factors. I would recommend that you start by researching the Express Entry immigration program. It's a points-based program (those with the most points are selected). She will need to have 460+ points to be picked.

Any temporary visa (e.g. visitor visa, study permit, work permit) is going to be refused given she's from Yemen, isn't currently living in her home country and can't demonstrate strong ties to her home country to prove she has no plans on remaining in Canada long term.

I am guessing, just relatively speaking, it may be easier for her to apply for a US tourist visa in the meantime, compared to a Canadian TRV. If that option fails, you have no other choice but to wait for the US sponsorship decision.

You can certainly try for a Canadian TRV, but expect a 99.9% chance of refusal, as scylla mentioned above.

Yemen is part of the banned country list that’s the problem.
