Reuniting with family is incredibly important, and Canada truly values this. Family class applications are the second most popular way to immigrate, right after economic immigration. If you have applied for a spouse or dependent PR visa, you might be able to join your partner in Canada sooner than you think by applying for a visitor visa.
The Visitor Visa Option
A visitor visa can be a great temporary solution, allowing you to enter Canada while you wait for your PR application to be processed. Since the processing times for spouse dependent PR visas can be quite long, many people look for faster ways to be with their loved ones, and the visitor visa offers just that solution.
Who Can Apply?
You are eligible to apply for a visitor visa and faster processing of a visitor visa if you meet the below-mentioned criteria:
- Submitted Your PR Application: You must have successfully submitted your PR application.
- Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR): You must have received an AOR letter. The AOR letter for your application confirms that the application you submitted is complete and your application is in process.
How to Apply?
Once your sponsor (Spouse) receives the AOR for your sponsorship application, you can start your visitor visa application. Apply as soon as possible to reunite with your loved ones.
Fast-Tracking of your application- When AOR for your spousal sponsorship is received, your visitor visa application will automatically get fast processing. You are not required to ask for it.
The visitor visa gives an excellent way that serves a bridge to fill up the gap while your PR application is being processed, allowing you to be with your spouse or partner sooner.
Once you get a visitor visa, you can apply for an open work permit as soon as you arrive in Canada. Contact Dhrron Consultancy today to check your eligibility, and apply for your visitor visa, and reunite with your partner in Canada.
