Hi everyone, i'm an applicant for permanent residence in canada under the family class. i learned about this forum a few months ago, and i must say some of the advice and comments on here have been extremely helpful to our process which we started at the beginning of the year (i.e. January 2016). Just had a quick question for fellow applicants. can i apply for a tourist visa to attend the wedding of my brother-in law while my permanent residence application is still pending? my wife (canadian) and i have been married for two years now, and prior to getting married i visited with her and her family in canada on several occasions. i have not applied for a tourist visa recently as i did not want to complicate my process in any way. some of the recommendations i have seen online seem to suggest it should not be a problem so long as you can demonstrate that you plan to return to your home country. i have a steady job, which I don't plan to leave until i am approved for immigration so i think i can demonstrate that i will return. But i am still worried a bit. i would really appreciate the thoughts of forum members.
