Bit of history:
We are currently awaiting for spousal PR to finish. We applied for outland PR earlier in 2016. My spouse had a work permit until end of November 2016. Before expiry we applied for a visa extension and it was approved for 6 months. However she was called for a PR interview in her home country in December. She does not have TRV or passport sticker to get back into Canada even though she has a visitor extension status if she was still in Canada today. We did not anticipate the abrupt interview and because of this we applied for visitor extension since we were expecting she would not leave Canada. Now she can not re-enter. We applied for a visitor TRV last month and completed biometrics and photograph in her home country visa centre.
Today:
We received a refusal letter for reasons: "Family ties in Canada and in country of residence" and "Employment prospects in country of residence".
The application includes her parents and sibling in her country of residence. In the application we stated she will be visiting me (spouse) and other family members in canada (aunts, uncles, grandparents). Is this reason for rejection because spouse is in Canada? I feel that her immediate family (parents and sibling) is strong factor for returning to country of residence. Also it is valid she does not currently have employment prospects since she just finished her work permit term in Canada as of Nov 2016. She also helps out with her parent's storefront business but I did not list this as official employment..
Is there any chance to reapply and be approved? I also find it hard to believe they refused this one even though we have a current and valid visitor status (if she was in Canada right now) as a Temporary resident until may 2017
