Hi,
Can someone please advise me on the spousal sponsorship based on my Visa status in Canada? We are super frustrated with the process and lack of transparency on status updates. I am losing patience and wish to see her in Canada.
1. I am in Canada on closed work permit.
2. My spouse is in outland. We have applied for her Open Work Permit. Timeline of the application:
- Dec 20, 2020: Acknowledgement of application
- April 15, 2021: Medical passed
- Since then, the application is stuck on background check
3. I applied for PR along with my spouse. Timeline:
- July 28, 2021: AOR
- October 6, 2021: Medical passed
- Dec 10, 2021: Spouse gave another medical exam as old one expired
I am visiting my country in May 2022, and want to return back with her. But the way both Open Work Permit and PR applications are being delayed, I am skeptical if we would be able to do it. What should we do? Can we apply for her Visitor Visa? Any other suggestion is very appreciated.
Thanks!
