Visit Visa for Spouse

[Faraz2840288]

Hi i am going to get married in Pakistan in December 2013 and than I will came back to Canada sponsor my wife and than apply for her visit visa requesting Canadian government that while her sponsor ship case is in process that will take a long time that's why I would to call her on visit? Is it possible? If yes what are the chances of getting visit visa and my history in Canada is nice and clean no bad records and have a professional job.

Thanks

It's not your history they will be looking at, it's "her" history. Why don't you have her apply for a visit visa now? Many here will suggest that 'visit visas' are much harder to get once you are "married". Then she travels here on visit visa, after you are married, and THEN you submit your sponsorship application.

It is your wife-to-be who is applying for the visitor visa. She should do it in her own right and not say anything about you.

The chances of her getting the visitor visa after getting married are near zero (nil)

If your wife to be can show significant ties to Pakistan... she may be able to get a tourist visa
Meaning she has a job or is going to school over there and she owns property

the main refusal on a tourist visa is not enough ties to your homeland to return when the visa expires
As now she is married... her biggest tie would be to you her husband

You can try but most TRVs are declined

Don't even bother with the TRV, whether before or after marriage. It will cause you more trouble in the end, if she's refused. If you're concerned about being away for a long time, just go visit her instead.

Success of TRV will depend mostly on her travel history, money, job, family ties back home vs Canada.
