hi, I got married in February 2018. My husband is Canadian citizen. Can I apply for TRV Canada as I need to meet my mother in law also for the first time as she is very sick from past few years. We have doctors note also mentioning the same. Bcos of this she was not able to come to our wedding too. I am very confused should I apply on paper through some agent or submit online through go key. I have fear of rejection stamp on my passport if submit on paper. But also have fear if I make some mistake in online submission. Please help.

Does your husband live in Canada?

Yes he lives in toronto
It is quite challenging to get a TRV if the applicant has a Canadian spouse.

IMO, your husband must start the spousal PR process instead. Don't apply for a TRV until your PR file is transferred to your visa office

But my husband wants me to apply trv at the earliest. This is why I m nervous bcos I wanted to apply for PR first but since he is not full time working, we are not position to apply PR at this point of time.

There is no income requirement for spousal sponsorship. As long as your husband is not receiving welfare benefits nor in bankruptcy, he can sponsor you

I have told him but we always end up arguing. He wants me to apply TRV and I m not confident for applying. I am thinking from one month to apply or to not apply but can't hold it more. I m sure I will have refusal may be then he will

You're in a difficult situation. I know what you mean.

On the brighter side:
Even if you are refused a TRV, it won't be a refusal stamp in your passport. It is just a refusal letter. Of course, the TRV refusal will be recorded in IRCC's database.... but one TRV refusal will not affect your PR application later.


If you want to give the TRV application your one best shot:
1. How long do you intend to visit?

2. Do you own property/land? Or have a lease agreement in your name?

3. Do you live with any dependent family members (parents/ unmarried siblings) and can prove their dependence on you?

4. Do you have any compelling work or personal commitments to return home to after your visit?

5. Singapore and Indonesia don't count as Travel History. Are you likely to visit another country after your Canada visit?

6. Since how long have you been working at your current workplace?

I am requesting to approve for 3 weeks. July 1-21.

I don’t have any property or lease agreement in my name.

I love with my parents n brother and his wife. I support my family financially though. How can I make this strong evidence?

I am working from past 12 Year- strong point here is it was always continuous. In my current company I will complete 4 Year’s in June. Personal commitments are my parents, my stable job, insurance policies, bank accounts here.

Singapore Indonesia don’t count? I m planning to visit Japan in August.

Pls advise what is the best way to apply and make my request strong.

Plan your visit around national/federal holidays in your country of residence + explain that's why you can visit for three weeks.


I don’t have any property or lease agreement in my name.
Vehicle ownership?
Any loan repayments?

You must include evidence that your parents/you stay at the same address.

Do you pay the rent? Utilities? Your parents' medical insurance? Anything along these lines (with evidence).

Do keep in mind, as your brother and his wife also live with your parents, your family ties to your country of residence are not strong. Also, if your brother/his wife are employed and/or your parents contribute to the expenses then your parents' financial dependence on you is less.

Basically, you would need to prove very strong financial dependence of your parents on you and/or if they depend on you for their well-being (for example, you are their caregiver/they need medical treatments).


I am working from past 12 Year- strong point here is it was always continuous. In my current company I will complete 4 Year’s in June.
Are you eligible/likely to get promoted after your Canada visit?
Salary increase or benefits?
Any work-related reasons to return such as training, appraisals, project completion, etc?
Any loss of benefits if you don't return?
Any work-related visits to another country that's scheduled after your visit?


Personal commitments are my parents, my stable job, insurance policies, bank accounts here.
You must include a detailed day-by-day plan for your visit..... with expense estimates.... and prove you can pay for this visit + airfare + surplus funds (without borrowing from anyone, no last-minute deposits).

As your husband's bank statement won't help, your financial documents must be really solid (bank statements, investments, pension funds, etc).


Singapore Indonesia don’t count?
No, they don't count. These countries are very liberal in issuing visas to everyone.


I m planning to visit Japan in August.
Would your Japan visit be after you visit Canada?
Is this a personal visit or for work?
Do you need a visa for Japan? If yes, do you have one?
Have you made any bookings (plane, hotel, etc) for your Japan visit?


In addition to this:
1. Can you prove any family event that's scheduled after your Canada visit? For example, a wedding in the family.
2. Are you enrolled for any part-time study program?
3. Do you volunteer for any social or charity causes?
4. Do you represent your parents for any legal/business/government reasons?
