no, trv are being processes very slow as well. my rep told me. plus it's useless - husband won't be able to do anything in Toronto and I don't want that :)
Well I'd put a few points here on why you may wish to do it: there's no obvious reason TRV will take longer (it is a lower level of decision, generally); it gives you an 'out' to travel if it should come to that (eg for planning for other reasons you need to travel earlier); and - what I'm really getting at - it seems that sometimes applying 'dislodges' the PR application for some spouses that have been held up or just waiting in a queue.

My guess is that sometimes it ends up in the same officer's pile and it ends up being easier to finalize the spousal sponsorship than deal with the TRV sign-off - and possibly also causes other problems with their stats and numbers and targets and sort-of forces the issue a bit. Maybe something else is going on too - it's in one officer's pile and it should have been re-assigned or whatever, the TRV app serves the same effect of forcing somebody to deal with the admin barrier that's been holding it up.

(Also maybe looks to IRCC like you are rushed and that's why your'e pushing...)

So personally I think it'd be worth it in your case, despite what your rep says. But I don't know for sure.

We applied for a TRV on June 1st. It's been about 30 days now, and no reply yet, but our fingers are crossed. We are prepared for a rejection, but are hopeful for approval, or at the very least as you mentioned, forcing someone to take a look at our PR application. I'll post here if we get any updates.

when did you receive ppr?

p.s. we had another ghost update on June 28, could that mean that they are actively working on our file? :)
Hey Valvlad,
I also received ghost updates on the June 24th, June 28th and today 4th July. Did you received any ghost update today as well?

Did you try another city? St. Petersburg had some dates open recently, you should try to call them if you haven’t yet.
If you wish to do it in Moscow, I will also recommend to check daily/ hourly on their website, sometimes when someone cancel their appointment you will see availability for specific day and time. Don’t call the clinic though- completely useless. They don’t tell you even if they have something. Just go every day online and scroll down the schedule - you will get lucky, I am sure and should be able to book something. I have done that for my hubby in May.
Good luck!

Don't forget you can also do the medical abroad if you have the means to do so. Perhaps Belgrade or Istanbul have availability?
