If a person is on Refugee open work permit inside Canada. and his spouse and kids are outside canada in their Home Country. Can that person apply TRV/Visitor or Work permit for his spouse and kids to enter in Canada? or do they need to wait for the decision for his existing refugee application. Pls guide

Thanks

Of course, they can apply for TRV.
But the question is, would they get approval for their visas?
I don't think IRCC will approve visas for his spouse and kids because of his status, let alone a work permit.

You can start looking for a job after you receive your WP.
You will receive a notification for your hearing date.
After receiving a positive decision, you can apply for PR.

It depends on your case.
If your case is less complex, maybe you'll get a hearing in 3-6 months after it is referred to the IRB.

What they will ask in the hearing depends on your BOC. You're the only person who knows your case very well.

If considered less complex from countries where chance of approval is very high due to country conditions like current war or part of the LGBTQIA+ population in countries where it is illegal or very high incidence of murder tend to be less than a year after applying but if normal application could be up to 2+ years for hearing.
