I've been reading around quite a bit and I've learnt that if an applicant has a history of trying to get into Canada, the visa officer might consider that a red flag, or at the very least see it as a point of concern. This is true especially for applicants who are not visa exempt.
A few months ago I submitted an application to sponsor my wife (not visa exempt) who has never left her home country before, and prior to the spousal sponsorship, she has never applied for a visa for any country let alone Canada. We're starting to miss each other but I can't visit her due to my job, so I am helping her apply for a TRV instead. My question is this: when the visa officer processing her spousal application sees that she has applied for a TRV, would that be a point of concern? Her spousal sponsorship application is being processed at New Delhi.
This is a bit of a catch-22. If I can't visit her, that's a red flag. If she tries to visit me but is refused a TRV, that's also a red flag. What do I do?
