Where is he coming from?

Highly doubtful that a tourist visa or ETA if visa exempt will be approved for him unfortunately.

Not really much of a chance but he can try. Would only try if he has a longterm good job, property, etc. You may not feel lucky but you habe had prettt fast processing time compared to others and PR applications for refugees are now being processed im 16-18 months when it was taking close to 3 years last year.

Yes, there's a good chance of denial. He has a very good reason to come to Canada, obviously. The issue is, will he leave Canada? Why should he leave if his wife and child are in Canada?

IRCC will assume that there's every chance that he will simply stay in Canada and not return like he's supposed to.

You have to give very good reasons for him to leave Canada to stand a chance of getting the visa.

Yes obviously hel leave canada, knowing that he would be coming to just to see his child becuase his wife cant travel due to work schedules and when IRCC knows that this person will eventually come as a PR one day then why not granting him a visa

There's nothing obvious about it. How is it obvious?? It's exactly the other way around - when his wife and child are in Canada, and he knows he's very likely to get a PR, why on earth should he leave? It makes zero sense for him to leave and all the sense in the world to just stay with you.

I'm sorry, but you need to look at things from IRCC's point of view, not your own. I know it feels unfair, and it probably is, but they have to enforce the law as it's written.

The only way to know for sure is if he applies. I mean if I was in his shoes I would have applied, you never know what might happen. I've heard of stories were spouses of protected persons were able to get visas, not sure if they're valid though. If he intends to apply make sure to let him know that he should have letters from work that he needs to come back to fulfill his duties, and also make sure he writes a letter of explanation to explain to the officer why he has more reasons to come back than stay in Canada. Worst case scenario is that he might get refused now, but he'll still be able to come as a PR later on.
