visitor visa

my husband is yet to apply for spouse visa bt at the same time he says that he want to apply for visitor visa what are the consequences if he does like this.

 

[canadianwoman]

The visitor visa will probably be refused. For a visitor visa you have to prove you will leave Canada; since you want to immigrate to Canada, and your husband lives there, it will be difficult to prove you will leave. Still, applying for a visitor visa once won't hurt your chances for a PR visa, so it's worth a try.

Call CIC and ask them what is happening.

They always give a reply.

The sponsorship decision is taken in Mississauga, and I know the Canadian help line has access to information about cases there.
No idea if ND can help, but I would try them first.
