I agree with what the lawyers just explained. I think these developments are improving the assistance for reunification of families. However, I would like to mention that up until now, there's been a distinct difference in treatment between people who need to have a TRV and people who just need to come here with an eTA. It's so different. With the eTA, they can come and stay with their spouses, with their families. After that, they can apply for in-Canada spousal sponsorship. The situation is completely different for people who need to get a TRV. As I mentioned with regard to my clients, I cannot believe somebody has to wait 10 years to join their husband or wife.
