Moving our case from Dubai to Canada?

[ofa917 0]

My wife, who lives and works in Dubai, is waiting for an interview. Our DQ was on 12/11/2024. She also applied for a visitor's visa to Canada. She's asking, what if she gets a visa to Canada? Can she move her case (CR1) to Canada? Would that be any faster route? I'm trying to convince her to stay put and wait, especially with what is happening in the USA with the new administration.  What are everyone's thoughts on this?

No.

Stay put and wait.

Agree with @OldUser above. Besides... Montreal, where all Family Based Immigrant Visas are handled, is notoriously slow.

• On a Canadian tourist visa she would not be a permanent resident and not able to interview there

~~Moved to IR1/CR1 Process and Procedures, from AOS from K1 Progress Reports. As this is a spousal visa topic.~~

Thank you for your response. This is what I thought, but she wanted to hear from others.
