Guys, I'm wondering if anyone August applicant have received AOR yet? I submitted my file a few days ago and want to get an estimate on how long it would take.

Also, for applying TRV for spouse do we need AOR or temporary file number? Or it's possible to receive travel exempt without these details?

Please answer this so I consider other ways to unite with my family.

You can apply for a TRV, but the exemption announced is not an exemption from the usual requirements for getting a TRV (i.e. you might be refused). It is an exemption from the covid ban on travelling. Immediate family members are eligible to get a TRV (those without immediate or extended family will not even be considered unless they qualify for a different exemption), but it is NOT a guarantee that they will get it.

Thank you for your time and information.

Like I'm currently in Canada as a permanent residence and my wife is in India..... would you please suggest any other way that we can apply for some sort of visa so she could come to Canada to live with me?

Note - we have submitted her PR application under family class and yet to receive application number.

Armoured explained everything, I don’t understand which part you don’t get.
The only possible way for your wife to travel to Canada is through TRV, again TRV’s chances are very slim. Make sure she provides strong financial stability and ties to her home country

You can apply without AOR, it is not mandatory.

Good Luck

The only visa that will let your wife come live with you is the one you've already applied for that's going to take months to get through. Only apply for the TRV if she has strong ties to her home country. Stating that you want her to come live with you will be an upfront denial.

I think he just cannot wrap his head around the fact the Canada does not allow for our spouses to come visit us during the sponsorship process if they are from visa required countries. Its a hard pill to swallow.
If you're a PR you cannot stay with your spouse abroad either, its inhumane.
Only way (in most cases, there are the lucky few who slip thru the cracks) for a spouse to get TRV is if he/she is super well established in own country and the only way for a sponsor to live abroad with spouse is if he/she's a Canadian citizen.....

Others have responded, I disagree only on point "only apply if ties to home country are strong". There's no harm in applying, and no harm in applying multiple times if you want, apart from the time and cost of applying.

We also don't know whether chances in your specific case are slim or very slim or possibly better. But yes, often TRVs are refused from visa-required countries.

Apart from TRV the only ways I'm aware of that could possibly be faster are other immigration programs such as express entry (if she is able to qualify on her own), for example - but they're not necessarily fast either. Some (like study permits) may not be realistic as they would possibly interpret as an attempt to get around the spousal sponsorship requirements, i.e. not about studying but joining you. But I'm by no means an expert on those other programs.

But by all means apply for TRV. You'll only find out by trying. It's only being realistic for posters here to note that these are often refused.

So, I am wondering how they are dealing with the applications when many of March applicants are still waiting for AOR1 then how come May 2020 got it.
Can anyone share his or her views regarding this.
Thanks
