October 2022 visitor visa applicants

[Sohaib04]

Hi all,

have a query regarding passport renewal
Can we renew passport in home country with valid visitor visa stamp before travelling to canada for first time ?
As the old passport will be punched while getting a new one. Is it acceptable at immigration

TIA

I don’t know which country are u from. In our country we have ab option if some one has a valid visa they will not cancel the passport . A stamp will be affixed stating “ANOTHER PASSPORT #_______ is issued in lieu of this passport”

Hi guys,

My wife just received Passport request on 9th December and the latest appointment for passport submission we could get is 16th December.

Does anyone knows how long does it take to get the passport stamped after submissions?

FYI:

• Her Spousal PR application is already in process.
• Medical and Biometrics were exempted (as she had already done that for PR)
• I had applied for her visitor visa on 15 October 2022

Thanks

Yes, She is an outland applicant for the Spousal PR under the family class. Which is still in the background check stage. This passport request has came through under her Visitor Visa application.

Congrats!!

My wife's PR is in process. Just received AOR last week. Planning to apply Visitor's for her. Can you please share your Visitor's visa timeline and reason you mentioned as well? And also did you mention that PR is in process and visitors visa is a dual intent in Invitation Letter? And what re the points that your wife had to prove for ties to back home?

Applying visitor visa is a risk.. but again! it varies case-by-case. I applied her Visitor Visa after 40 days from getting my sponsorship approval.

• My wife is not employed so we did not have anything to prove strong ties back home.
• I just wrote an honest invitation letter stating that we just want to meet and spend time together because the PR file is taking long. (we did mention full detail of the PR application including file number, and current status of the application, etc,.)
• I showed my funds, employment letter, tax returns, etc,.
• She also wrote a cover letter assuring them that she will obey the Visitor Visa conditions, blah, blah, blah..

We had also gone for a few weeks of holidays to Japan after applying her Spousal PR. So we did put pictures and boarding passes from that trip in her Visitor Visa. (may be that also helped to prove that our relationship is genuine).

Hope this helps. and good luck.
