Getting TRV from Germany, with Bangladeshi Passport

[SaraTabu]

Hello everyone! I live in Berlin, Germany on a Student visa and I hold a Bangladeshi Passport. I want to marry a Canadian citizen who lives in Victoria, BC. I know him for more than 2 years.
Now my questions are:
1) Can I get married in Canada to a Canadian citizen while I'm on TRV (Visiting Visa I meant)?
2) What relation should he mention on the invitation letter so I get the TRV easily?

Please guide me how I can easily get the TRV!

Yes, you can

2) What relation should he mention on the invitation letter so I get the TRV easily?

You'll need to be honest about the relationship to your host/future spouse. That said, it will not be easy to get a TRV as the visa officer would know that you have long-term plans to remain in Canada after getting married

Yes, you can

Then should I not tell them about our relationship? But why would they do it if they know the truth!? should I then tell them he's just a friend?

Some said, from Germany it'd be a bit easier. Is that true?

You must be honest and state that he is your fiance and you intend to marry him in Canada. But the visa officer would believe that you have plans to remain long-term in Canada after you get married and hence, the chances of TRV refusal are very high in this case

It would all depend on the reasons/strong ties that you can prove to both Germany and Bangladesh.

In Germany, you have a temporary immigration status (student visa)

WOW! For obvious reason, if someone gets married they'd want to stay and they'd reject me for this reason...Then they will do an unfair thing, and I yet to be expected to be honest with them! I just don't get it. Sorry. Thanks for your honest advice though.

But, that's how it works.

A visitor is someone who visits for short-term. Getting married in Canada means you want to stay long-term (quite obviously) and this doesn't fit the definition of a visitor. Also, you would file for an inland PR application after you get married. To a visa officer, it means you want to avoid waiting out the PR process by remaining in Germany or Bangladesh. That's why this would add up to a TRV refusal.

You can certainly try to apply for a TRV though. You might get lucky

I can get lucky Allah willing! I didn't love him because he's Canadian! I'd have waited in Bangladesh for PR process...I didn't see my parents for long, but they'd not believe it or even bother to ask me. Thank you. But would it be a problem if I say he's a friend?

I would not mention that I have plans for marriage. I suggest that you get an invitation letter from him as a fiancee, and the reason for your visit would be spending 2 weeks with your fiancee, and going back to Germany. I would try as much as I can to show that I have strong ties to Germany (education program, job, family,...etc).
When you get to Canada, get married and apply for permanent residence under the family class category (family sponsorship). You don't have to stay if your visa is multiple entry as you will be able to go back later.

 

[SaraTabu]

Family class category? Is it different than Inland or Outland PR?

 

[SaraTabu]

Can I apply for TRV again to visit him while my PR visa application is on the process??

If I mention he's my fiance they'll assume I'm gonna get married. Would that be a good idea to say he's just a friend I know long time and want to visit him??

I also need to know one thing. Once am married on a TRV can he immediately apply for sponsoring spousal visa for me? And can I stay after while application is on process and not go back to Germany?? Traveling twice to Canada would be expensive!

It's never a good idea to lie when you apply for a visa. If you lie and say he is a friend, you may find your inland PR application taking much longer for greater scrutiny/investigations.

In your case, not only do you intend to visit your "friend" (who is actually your fiance) but you intend to get married shortly after arriving in Canada (not on a subsequent visit)
