@legalfalcon please i need your advice on this. since their as been no movement on my application, I was advised by a consultant to submit a visiting visa application for my daughter and spouse under family reunification and include a well detailed LOE.
is this advisable?
thanks
It does not matter. Each application, i.e. TRV and PR are different and based on different criteria.

You can file visitor's visa application and request AL. The visitor's visa and PR visa will be processed on its own merits. It will have no bearing on each other. Also, having a dependent in Canada or outside Canada would not make a difference and would not expedite the processing per se.

As per subsection 22(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act dual intent is allowed

Dual intent

(2) An intention by a foreign national to become a permanent resident does not preclude them from becoming a temporary resident if the officer is satisfied that they will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay.

See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/dual-intent-applicants.html

@legalfalcon : Good Evening,

me and my spouse had completed the biometric on Nov 2020 and the information is updated in GC account. We received BIL letter from IRCC on January 2021 for my spouse only to complete it.We uploaded the proofs of biometric completion. Also talked to the IRCc agent twice and she confirmed that they are fine with the document and no need to redo the biometric..Again we got another request to complete the biometric for my spouse on March 2021. Please suggest on the next steps.

When you gave your biometrics the first time were the finger prints captured properly. In some cases where the fingerprints are not properly captured, IRCC can as for new biometrics. So check on that.

If the above is not the case then it is simple a case where your biometrics have not been updated.

@legalfalcon Medicals of me and my wife was passed in Aug 2020. When I checked GMS notes, Eligibility , Criminality was passed and biometric was pending for spouse which was completed on 2nd March 2021. I received IME1017E medical form only for my wife on 11th March to get medicals again {as expiry is on 11th may}. What does this indicate ? Is my application almost finalized? or do they simply request for medical test again as it is nearing expiry.

Hi Guys! I just got my work permit approved. I am an FSW Outland applicant and since I wasn't getting any updates on COPR (AOR June2) and my visa in current country was getting over my company filed a Work permit for me to be on the safe side.
I wanted to ask if anyone knows how long does the passport stamping take for Work Permit in current time?
My work permit date starts in June, 2021 so does the validity of it starts when I reach Canada (say in April) or will it start in June?

Also, an agent once told me I need to get a visa in addition to the work permit, is that so?
What happens if my COPR gets approved before I move to Canada or after I move to Canada?

If @legalfalcon or someone has any input, please let me know since it's a different situation.
Thanks a lot!

You will need a visa to get into Canada in addition to the work permit. Unless you are from visa exempt countries. As for the processing time, it used to be within 2 weeks pre COVID. Now with COVID, no idea. If your COPR approved that is separate process. I would suggest go with your current process till you reach Canada, then once you are here, you can update IRCC with your new country of residency.

What kind of visa do we have to get? A work visa? In the approval letter for work permit they have asked for the passport for stamping. After the stamping do we apply for the visa? I am a little confused
