Best reason is to say that you don't wish to shift your family to a new country because of the uncertaintun it holds. You want to first go and find a steady job and then bring her over.

I live in canada on a post graduate work permit. I already have a job here.
My wife just left Canada.
Any suggestions now?

Ah ok. Then why not just state the real reason?

Ok, so if you were to put spouse as accompanying, after receiving pr she will have to visit Canada once for few days to activate her PR. She can then go back to India to continue doing what she's doing and join you in Canada later within the first three yrs. As you might know you need to complete 2 yrs out 5 yrs of cumulative stay to keep pr valid. So that gives her 3 full yrs to join you.

If you put spouse as non accompanying then she won't receive pr and she will either have to apply independently later or you will have to sponsor her...which is a lengthy process.


Whether accompanying or not you still have to submit her medicals and PCC as she's part of your family.

So I'd highly recommend you to just get the pr for both while you're submitting all the paper work anyway.

But if you choose to show non accompanying then just stating the true reason will not be a problem.

I have a real reason of maritial discord though no legal separation has happened yet . Can I state the real reason . Has anyone experience any issues if the real reason as above is stated ?

if not bound by legal aspects, it'll be hard to convince a visa officer IMO. Although if you could explain it by attaching maybe a marriage counselor's certificate or attestation of your current scenario, it might seem more convincing for a visa officer.
this is just my take and am not speaking from personal experience.

Has anyone of you gotten your PR yet ?
What was the reason that you provided finally for a non-accompanying spouse ?

Hi, I have a similar problem. My spouse has provided me with the PPR and medical as we are in talking terms. But, what should I state as the reason ? Will stating the actual reasons create a problem ?
