Hi all, I am a PR and currently pregnant (23w). My husband and I didn't do much research and applied the visitor visa 2 months ago for him because we thought the processing time for trv would be much faster than pr application, and the result was, well ofc denied due to strong family tie in Canada... so I just finish applying for his outland family sponsorship today. My question is, what's the chance for him to sucessfuly apply for visitor visa after he got AOR? Would IRCC refuse him again because I'm pregnant and he has strong intent to overstay? We provided his job letter from his company saying they would keep his job once he returns and also flight itinerary for round trip last time but still got refused not to mention his bankstatements and assets etc! I don't know what else should we provide if he applies again! I really hope that he can come over and take care of me during my 3rd trimester and delivery. Can anyone help? Thanks.
 
Hs still needs to address reasons for refusal and has high chance of refusal because IRCC knows he will not leave. So he is really going to return to his job? He doesn't have family ties since you are his family tie, and needs more than just job to return. Being pregnant shows that he will not leave at all. So he can apply again but needs to address all reasons for refusal.

Where is he from? You are in Canada now?
 
They do seem more lenient for those with sponsorship applications in process - I personally doubt there is much you can do in addition (although do what you can per other comments) except to emphasize that yes, there is a sposnorship app in process, you wish to be reunited (due to pregnancy), and write something that he will return if sponsorship not successful.

My impression is that this is far more likely if it is a clear and solid application and marriage evidence there was solid.

So do what you can, attempt to address the issue, and hope that they are lenient. HTH.
 
Would wait until he receives AOR before reapplying but depending on processing time you may not get a response in time. I would be making a back-up plan for support if your husband can not join you.

Agree on both counts. I haven't followed how long AOR is taking recently but TRV mightn't be instantaneous either, and at 23w, not a lot of buffer time. With luck he shan't be held up too long, but it can't be relied upon .

Yea I think you are right, that's also what ircc officer concerned about. Tbh, once he gets his pr approved he would for sure quit his current job, but if he can get his visitor visa while waiting he would actually go back and continue to work till pr process is finalized. The problem is IRCC doesn't seem to belive that. What else could be evidence that prove he would go back on time other than what I've already submitted?...
He's from China, and yes I'm in Canada now.

I just read some other posts that have similar situation like us, while some of them are lucky that their husbands got approved for trv in just few days, while some others even got refused for 3 times or more... it seems it's just purely rely on who process the case and the mood of the officer...
I also heard someone telling me that providing AOR + my pregnancy would only worse the situation because both of them are just strengthening the impression that my husband has strong reasons not going back on time...
I'm in a real delima rn..

Yea, if I apply again I would consider waiting till he gets AOR, but I also heard someone telling me that providing AOR + my pregnancy would only worse the situation because both of them are just strengthening the impression that my husband has strong reasons not going back on time... If in worst case, then my mom and my mother-in-law would come and take care of me as they both got their trv approved easily, it's just frustrating that my husband could not be my side.
