Thank you so much.
I'll turn to the issue of dual intent and paragraph 179(b). It's true that on the government website there's a new posting that basically outlines dual intent and what it means. Really, that's how I see it; I don't see it as a directive in any way, shape or form. Therefore, it will still be very much subject to the interpretation and discretion of IRCC officials or agents.
If we know that dual intent is meant to allow for people to come and visit while the application is being processed, would it not make sense, really, in the case of those applications, for the government to suspend the use of paragraph 179(b) for spousal sponsorship?
Mr. Waldman, I wonder if I can get your thoughts on this.
