About the documents listed
•Not all documents listed below are required – some are optional.
•This is not an exhaustive list of acceptable proof to support your visa application.
•Only submit the recommended documents that can prove you’re eligible for a visa.
•Even if you submit all the documents listed, there is no guarantee that we’ll approve your application.
If you’re being sponsored for permanent residence (PR) by your spouse or partner, you could benefit from faster processing for a visitor visa.
You may be eligible if you

•received an acknowledgement of receipt (AOR) that confirms the application is in progress
Applications that need more information, for example custody documents for a child, will take longer to process.
When your sponsor receives the AOR for your permanent residence application, you can apply for a visitor visa. If you’re eligible, your visitor visa application will automatically receive faster processing. You don’t need to request it.
