Hello Adviser,

I'm hoping that someone could give some advice in regard to my request .

I'm a Canadian Citizen and a long time professional worker in last February, after 5 years of my relationship I got married in Cuba to my wife who is a Cuban Citizen. I have a plan to sponsor her to come to Canada as a PR.

However, due to the long time period of the PR process we have decided that she asks for a tourist visa (with an invitation letter from me) and after she arrives to Canada then we will go ahead with the sponsor to pursue her PR.

I am not sure if it could be a good way to go, if I should take some key considerations before to proceed or if the chance to obtain her tourist visa is really low.

The advices are very appreciated

Regards,
MrMorales

Yes - it's certainly one way to go.

Unfortunately the chances that her tourist visa will be approved are pretty low. To be approved, she will have to demonstrate that she has strong ties to Cuba and has no plans to remain in Canada long term. Needless to say, it's not too much of leap for CIC to figure out that someone with a Canadian husband probably has different plans.

By all means apply - she may get lucky.

However if she's refused, make sure you have a plan be (i.e. applying outland).

Definitely go for it. Show as many ties as possible for your wife to the home country. Job, family, property (if applicable). Basically anything to convince the VO that she will not remain permanently in Canada and that she has something to go back to. My wife's PR is application is in progress and she just applied for TRV and got it.

MrMorales:
I was once in this same situation, I was the wife in Cuba and was invited twice by my Canadian citizen husband to came to Canada and both times the Canadian embassy denied my visa. We had to go for the immigration process, which to our surprise lasted 3 months only.
If you want to take your chances, go ahead, but don´t expect too much.
There´s always hope and I´m just speaking from my personal experience.
