Hello everyone.
It's been 7 months already that Immigration Canada received my spousal sponsorship (Quebec). At this stage, I have already been issued a Certificate of Selection for Quebec and Spousal Sponsorship has been approved. Waiting on the Visa Office to make a move (ECAS idle for the past 5 months : "Application Received").
In the meantime I was just granted asylum in the USA (application pending for the last 2 years) and at the time of spousal sponsorship application, I stated my status then as "Asylum Applicant", given that my asylum application was pending. Know I have a couple questions to ask:

1- How do I notify my visa office (Dakar-Senegal) of my my current change of status? What exactly should I use as means of communication?

2- Can this change, significantly affect my spousal sponsorship in Canada?

3- I am eligible for refugee travel document, can I apply for a canadian visa to visit my wife from time to time in Canada with no intent to remain there as my spousal sponsorship in process?

Thanks
