    Visitor visa (TRV) for spouse/partner

    I was wondering if anyone went through the following similar experience: A partner was granted a visitor visa (TRV) on the premise of visiting her/his friend (on the letter of invitation), prior to getting married to a Canadian (marriage took place outside of Canada). Upon entry into Canada as...

    Visitor visa for fiance (to-be spouse) - prior to spousal sponsorship

    I am a Canadian citizen and currently engaged to a foreign national who I plan to getting married to outside of Canada prior to bringing her here. I understand that I will only be able to apply for a spousal sponsorship once we get married and sign the contract. However, since the spousal...

    Visitor visa (TRV) - letter of invitation/host

    I am a Canadian citizen and engaged to a foreign national. My fiance has a cousin living in Canada but is on a work visa and a friend who is a Canadian Citizen. I want her to apply for a TRV now so that she is ready to enter Canada by the time we get married (next year, marrying outside of...

    Spousal sponsorship (expedited entry on a visitor visa?)

    Yeah, I am totally convinced. Thanks a tonne for sharing your perspective. Just wondering, is this you speaking from sound logic and instinct, or experience? Also, I am concerned that because her cousin is on a work visa and not a Canadian citizen that this may weaken the application. But I...

    Spousal sponsorship (expedited entry on a visitor visa?)

    hahahahah I completely understand your point and agree with it. I just thought a TRV application would be rejected if it were a legally married spouse (once married, not a fiance); but I guess a risk of overstay is the common to both. For option 2, would it be okay if her cousin is on a work...

    Spousal sponsorship (expedited entry on a visitor visa?)

    Hence why I will be advising my fiance to apply now for a TRV. We do not plan on getting married until next year. I just want her to be able to enter Canada once we are married and bypass the one year wait period for the spousal sponsorship. The question is just a matter of the purpose of...

    Spousal sponsorship (expedited entry on a visitor visa?)

    Okay so you are suggesting to go ahead with option 1 i.e. visiting her fiance? And attach travel records to the US showing she has visited and left within the appointed time? Your last statement regarding "current home is overseas"; that is not applicable to me - I am a Canadian citizen living...

    Spousal sponsorship (expedited entry on a visitor visa?)

    Thanks for your detailed response. I agree with your rationale on option #2. However, something I missed to inform you was that we'd be getting married outside of Canada and she most likely won't be "visiting" until we are legally married. I just wanted to bypass the one year wait (spousal...

    Spousal sponsorship (expedited entry on a visitor visa?)

    Thanks for your thorough response and explaining your logic/perspective. I guess something that I forgot to say was we'd be getting married back home and not in Canada. In addition, my fiance won't be "visiting" Canada until we sign the marriage contract and get legally married. I just want her...

    Visitor Visa for fiance (not married yet)

    I am a Canadian citizen and currently engaged to a foreign national and understand that I will only be able to apply for a spousal sponsorship once we get married and sign the contract. However, since the spousal sponsorship takes 1 year to process from the date of marriage (which is also likely...
