Sorry for late reply, in your case, you can definitely send an email to IRCC for travel exemption and faster processing. Although, nothing is guaranteed. We all are in the same boat.
I applied on March 17th, 2021 and waiting for results.
Thanks but unfortunately I have contacted them two times but no reply yet.
Seems to be endless waiting

I have a similar case like you, can you please tell me if a spouse needs to do medical, if they have applied for TRV for less than 6 months?
No, as far as I know, medical is not needed for TRV (less than 6 months).

Hi guys,

I am in a unique situation. I applied for my wife's TRV on Dec 29 (Biometrics already submitted).

Yesterday at 5 pm, we received an update in GCKey that was for the Biometrics Validity - correspondence letter.

Usually, per TRV protocol, this email is always followed by a decision 5-10 minutes later.

But in our case, its been over 17 hours and we still dont have a decision.

Has anyone faced this situation before? Please share your experience, if so.

Hi, please what was your proof of relationship? Did you submit any proof?
Also, can you share with me the format of the letter you sent to IRCC for authorization? Thank you

Hello,

I am a PR applicant and my application date is 27th Jan, 2020. Everything seems to have passed and remeds are also done. My husband is in Canada on student visa since april 2019 and recently got his work permit. The PR file does not seem to be moving a bit now and it has been 2 years since i met my husband. I want to know if putting a visit visa application will help? This wait is eccrutiating and not knowing how long to wait hurts me even more.

Thank you,
Aarti

Hi and congratulations!
Can you please mention your supporting documents for this TRV application ?
I have been rejected twice and want to make sure of everything before I apply for the third time.

Does anyone know what to show as proof of funds if the wife who's applying for family reunification does not have a job?
