I wish I had known that before but why even have them if they screw up people's lives? So if I had it do over again maybe apply every 3 months or longer? I know some embassies only recommend applications every 6 months and say so, like for her getting a visa to Japan or Korea. There should...

I had already decided to stop applying for awhile before I posted in this forum. The only question was for how long to give it before trying again. Our relationship is new this year and the original plan was for her to come visit me and we spend time together to find out if we want to get...

Yes, they denied and checked a lot of boxes that weren't checked before. It seems random their reasons for refusal. Like they didn't check purpose of visit for 4 applications and then all of a sudden they check it when the purpose has never changed. The first 3 times they checked travel...

Why does Immigration Canada tell people that it's okay to apply multiple times if it really hurts applications. I specifically asked them after the 2nd refusal and they said it was fine as long as there is new information. Very frustrating. I mentioned the property transfer would take 6...

One thing I forgot. My girlfriend's parents agreed to transfer their family home to her name but it would take 6 months because the land hasn't been surveyed. Is this worth doing this to get the home as an asset for her to show ties to Philippines and what would be the odds of them accepting...

Okay, thanks again for the advice and information. I wish I had found this forum earlier, it would have saved some time and heartache.

I know you CAN, but I was just wondering how that would appear to them. So, you think it would be okay but might delay? It's 12 months approximately for PR sponsorship, so do you think it would take longer then because of the previous TRV failures? I obviously applied a lot trying to get her...

Thanks for your reply. Is it best to get married and wait before applying for sponsorship then and if so how long? Or wait a certain amount of time to get married and then apply? Each time I applied on her behalf for TRV there was new information like a job letter, business license, travel...

I probably already know the answer to this but I was wondering what people think the likelihood of being accepted for a student visa after more than 4 unsuccessful TRV applications in as many months? I'm thinking they would look at the previous denied applications and think we were trying to...

Thanks for your encouraging words. I hope to eventually figure it all out to get my girlfriend to come visit me here. In the meantime I will visit her and try to go to South Korea or Japan and give it some time.

Thanks for your message, you've done a lot of traveling. I'm glad it has worked out for you. Did you try for visas to Japan or Korea? They seem to be the easiest according to what I read online. I'm not concerned too much with the money if a student visa would work but I've heard it might...

Thanks for your candid response. The whole process seems so bizarre to me since I can travel there at the drop of a hat and the Canadian government seems to let unlimited refugees in through the border and we pay for their food and lodging for months or years. I only re-applied with new...

I didn't want to bore everyone with the details, but I can fill in some of the blanks. First application as June 23rd when I was in Manila with her didn't show any financial information for either of us so that's why it was refused. Second application was when I was back in Canada July 11th...

I'm a Canadian citizen and I have been trying for a few months now to get my girlfriend from the Philippines to Canada on a visitor visa. I have learned a lot through the process but I still haven't been successful in getting her here. I have applied multiple times now on her behalf starting...
