I am a PR holder and currently in India on vacation and for my marriage. Can someone enlighten me about the new portal?
  1. Link to the new portal? I do not find the link to this new portal.
  2. Can I apply for TRV for my would be spouse while I am here in India and apply for spousal sponsorship later when I land in Canada??
  3. Is TRV easy to get for the family reunification program?
  4. What are the quicker ways to get spouse to Canada?

Hello,

My sister got approved for Visitors Visa. She is from the Philippines

Timeline:

Are they giving 10yrs multiple visa for siblings?

Hi, how much did she pay to VFS for sending her Passport? Thank you so much.

Answers to your Qs
1. https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en
2. Yes you can, but chances of approval are low. Better to apply PR first and then try for visitors visa. But it's upto you
3. Not so much for spouses, there is more scrutiny as I've learned on these forums
4. Apply for spouse PR online and then try for visitors

I am in the same boat as you. Recently got married in India and have applied visitors first (no update yet). Will be applying for PR soon

Looks like my brother is in the same path as your sister. We submitted his application yesterday and we got the bio letter today. How long is the duration of her visit if you don't mind? Thanks!
