A Canadian citizen sponsored his foreign spouse for PR. While processing, a TRV was obtained despite weak home country ties - a known refusal risk. Strategy: transparent dual intent under IRPA, supported by marriage documentation, active sponsorship AOR, and proof of in-person visits. Result: biometrics requested within days, passport request in one month, visa issued in three weeks. Weak ties don't equal refusal when dual intent is properly framed. Yury Vilin, RCIC R512508 |
