IRCC updated instructions for dual intent of the spouses
On October 30, 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) released a new update of the Dual Intent program delivery instructions for spouses and partners who have an overseas application for permanent residence as a sponsored spouse or partner in progress. Dual Intent is a legal term in Canadian immigration law, allowing for nationals to seek temporary and permanent residence at the same time. The update clarifies what factors the immigration officers must consider when assessing the dual intent of the sponsored spouses, such as time planned to spend in Canada on TRV, means of support, ties to the homeland, the purpose of the visit, plans of the couple if the sponsorship is refused, etc.
