My husband has applied PR for me. He stays in Canada. I stay in India. Can I apply a visitor visa to visit Canada and be with him? It’s been only a week ever since he has applied my spousal sponsor. Can I apply visit visa immediately or have to wait till we receive our acknowledgement? Also should I be employed in India till I get PR approved?
Spousal sponsorship
- Thread starter Surya dinaker
- Start date
If your husband has applied for spousal sponsorship Outland (India)........you could apply for temporary visitor visa to visit Canada......but the chances the visitor visa application will be approved is low since you have applied for PR.
You can apply anytime for visitor visa...........will advice you wait until you have received Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR1) which usually takes 6 to 8 weeks..........2 to 3 weeks after AOR1, your sponsorship application may be transferred to New Delhi VO for further processing.
Approval of your spousal sponsorship application does not depend on your employment in India.........your sponsorship will be approved based on the proof and genuineness of your marriage/relationship........you are very free to work to support yourself financially and this will have no impact on your PR sponsorship application............its your husband the sponsor that need to show they can support the person they are sponsoring.
Thanks, if I apply visit visa after the acknowledged the chance of rejection is low? Will it affect my PR processing ?
The chance of visit visa approval is LOW........chance of rejection is HIGH......when you have a PR application in-process.
No.......it will not affect your PR sponsorship.

For spousal sponsorship application......IRCC is not really interested in your personal bank balances...........but rather documentary evidence of financial support between you and your sponsor, and/or shared expenses........proof that one spouse is sending or providing financial support to the other spouse, and also any expenses both spouses jointly pay off, etc.

I have submitted my PR and have also taken the medicals for which I have got a information in the cic tracker. Will I get any confirmation mail for the medical approval or anything of the sort ?
check status in online account or in this site
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do
if medical is okay, IRCC will post status Medical Passed.
I checked with the same URL, however the status states as medicals received. I do not know which parameter I am missing here.
Thanks much in advance.
give 1 to 2 weeks after the medical exam.......after IRCC post the result and if medical is okay, status will show Medical Passed.
