I want to be with my wife while waiting for the spousal sponsorship. is it possible? or should she just apply for visitor visa BEFORE applying for sponsorship? but she got denied twice already but as SINGLE.
what is the faster way? I would prefer that she applies In-land sponsorship so we can be together no matter what. But it's hard for her to get a visitor visa cause she got denied twice already. what would you suggest? thanks!
I am a new permanent resident since February 2014.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and questions with us.
We can appreciate that you would want to be with your wife during the process of sponsorship.
Your wife can re-apply for a visitor visa, as you mentioned, as married. However, it is important to note that there are no guarantees that she will be granted one. Particularly because they may not consider her to be a "genuine" visitor in this situation.
We suggest that it is best if you contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre directly for some additional information specific to your situation.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
