Wife is visiting Canada

[natrajs35]

Are you going to process inland or outland PR?

I already applied outland PR since my wife is not in Canada at the time I applied PR and I will change the address once she comes here. Call centre agents informed me that the application will be processed as Outland even if my wife comes to Canada later

Hi natrajs35 and karthicbaboo

By any chance did you guys have to create an invitation letter to invite your wives?

I am getting married on 28th of December in India. I will be around there until mid January and based on what you have done natrajs35, I think it would make sense for me to apply for the Visit visa there itself? What do you guys think?

Karthicbaboo what was the experience you went through? What were the reasons for you to get rejected the first two times and then get approved the third? Are you in Canada on PR or as a citizen? Karthicbaboo where did you apply for the Visit visa from? What documents did you submit for the Visa.

I was planning to apply for a visit visa right now for my fiance and was wondering if it would just make sense to wait? Do let me know your thoughts.

Thank you and hope to hear from you guys soon

Rajiv

-employment letter indicating my salary and length of employment
-income tax return from last year showing my salary

-car registration showing I own a car and can use it to take my wife places
-plans of our upcoming trip to Europe, which further shows my wife not intend to overstay Canada
-proof of booked hotel and plane tickets to Vancouver, which is her first destination in Canada

My wife, the applicant, sent:
