The parents will be met on my next trip there whether it's to get married or just have another visit. We have tons of photos together from our times together, the hundreds of hours of video chat calls and transcripts of hundreds of pages of interaction. There's only so much you can really offer...

Hi, We met online (Instagram) May/June 2017, talked back and forth for a while before we became 'serious' so August 2017 to now as a couple. We've visited each other twice already, likely 3rd or 4th time by the time we apply. At least a 3rd time to marry.

Plans are to get my documents in order to travel to Colombia and marry my fiance. The intent afterwards is to apply for spousal PRV. Is it suspect that she applies almost immediately after our marriage or should we wait? I'll have supporting evidence of our relationship prior to the marriage...

Thanks so much. I think it's futile to keep trying to challenge and overcome the issues of the TRV when she doesn't have a travel history. I may still apply to get the notes of the refusal but doubt it makes much of a difference at this point. It's defeating really. I'll join the family...

Thanks. To clarify, the TRV would be out the window and the permanent visa would be the only thing we want. Can I ask why the PRV takes so long?

So we both have some thinking to do. Unless she travels more and had a boatload of money in the bank, our fine country won't let her in to visit. If we decide for a permanent resident visa instead based on spousal grounds, does this help any? If we take some time and decide to marry, how much...

Thanks, but from what I've read, do they actually include notes or just arbitrarily refuse based n the grounds they list? Think seeing the notes would really help if there were any?

No, she's 24 and never been out of the country, Best we can do is show more funds in her account and wait for the cuba trip and try again. This whole 'paragraph 179' denial without valid reason or explanation is kind of ridiculous.

Would they not list that regarding proof of relationship as a reason rather than lack of travel and financial situation? So this could mean either multiple attempts or we apply on different grounds?

Hi All, Thanks for the guidance up to now about maneuvering through the confusing application process. I'm helping a friend obtain a TRV to come and visit. we supplied what we thought was enough to support the application for a 2 week visit. Employment letter, invitation letter and supporting...

My friend is applying for the TRV and I'm assisting with the application. (Thank you for the support in answering question previously.) One of the required documents that be supplied with the application is Proof of Relationship. The suggested options they give are: a marriage certificate...

I've gone through the immigration site for the required documents and required back up information and frankly it's confusing. I seem to find different pages telling me different things as to what to provide.....for example: Proof of income to support your trip? So the visitor applicant has to...

Thanks Buletruck! One of the reasons I looked for a great resource like this site was to get an inside track instead of winging it and getting denied over and over. You have helped immensely already. I'll be back with more inquiries as I absorb your advice. Practice is a great idea. The CBSA...

Wow! All great info! Thank you Bryanna & Buletruck! This is an intimidating process. I understand why so many get refused if they don't take all of these things into consideration. I'll absorb this and take it into account as we progress through filling out all of the rest of the application...

Hi Bryanna, She has a job and she would have her boss write a letter stating she has a job when she returns......3 weeks or 6 months later. She would come with a sufficient amount of her own money and I would state that on her invitation letter with my stating she would be staying with me the...

Thanks so much for the speedy reply. If she requests 2-3 weeks on the application, does this influence the decision of the CBSA officer during the entry interview? Meaning, does the request for time to stay on the application make a difference once approved on paper when you tell the officer...

I'm assisting my girlfriend in filling out the application for a visitor visa to come to Canada from Colombia. Looking to get the approval on our first try as I understand there are many declines on the first try. Our ultimate plan is to get her here for the 6 months maximum and apply for an...
