Thank you! I can only conclude that my first application was horribly made, and I did NOT look up resources or letter samples. It was my fault entirely. Once again, I thank everyone here for their help.

Well what I did was the following: Provide sworn affidavits from my host and my father, that I will be financially supported and I will return Provide proof of the fact that I benefit from a scholarship here, and am exempt from tuition fees for the entire duration of my studies (up to 2015)...

My visa has been accepted! Thank you for those who helped, and boo to those who discouraged!

I didn't write that. I just didn't state anything, and haven't even provided proof for being a student. It was my first application and I was...naive, haha. I also decided to provide sworn affidavits as proof of support.

I want to come there for a short visit (1.5 months max). Just visiting her. That's all.

I was thinking of including this: date when we started talking and a picture to prove that, number of messages sent back and forth and proof (we have over 80.000 in four months :D ) and maybe a phone log? We've called each other many times. Is that wise or should I limit myself with the details...

I assume we must write how we've met in the Letter of Support or Proof of relationship? We've met 3 months ago. It's not much...

My friend will indeed send me her T4 and bank statement, a letter of invitation (able to notarize), I have a bailment contract on one of my mother's properties and she WILL support my stay there (listed her as a supporter, will acquire all documents needed). One question, she lives with her...

In hope of getting a little more feedback, I decided to BUMP this.

Update: I am able to get my family to transcribe an apartment and a car to my name. Would that be considered 'strong ties'? The process of transcription is easier and shorter than we have previously thought, and we can do that very hastily. So I would be: single, 20, unemployed, ~$1500 CAD in...

I am beginning to understand their logic. No, unfortunately, I do not have 'immediate' family ties, but I am beginning to research more and more into this, and I've seen many of my cases - simple visits - who have been approved after a proper application. My fault, I wasn't properly informed...

I e-mailed them anyway, as they proved to be polite and useful so far. I have openly stated my problem and said that I am able to include proof of being a student (and tied to my country by grants and exemption from tuition fees due to good results), I am able to pay for my trip back and forth...

I would honestly give it another try, this time with more provided info. I understand what you said, but I am flummoxed by the impossibility of simply visiting someone. Another $80 I can spare, but I would be most disappointed if I were not able to spend 2 months with a friend, just a vacation...

Thank you for your replies so far, really appreciated. The fact is that I don't quite yet know if I will be accepted. The International Relations Office headmaster is awaiting me to bring physical diplomas, take an English test (which I know I will pass, but it is a necessary formal step), and...

Thank you, I will look into the IS section! Unfortunately, I am unemployed :(

Well, I've been told to go there physically, but thank you for clearing it up. With some governmental programs for international students, and loans, you can come and even transfer (I am planning to transfer there and continue with the second year). Yes, I am enrolled, and have successfully...

Would a proof of being student be good? Should I mention that I will be looking for a student visa after returning? I have no property of my own, but my parents do. Under what should I put that? Should I scan everything as a SINGLE .pdf? The truth is that I wouldn't have enough money to live on...

I am willing to visit a friend in Canada. They will provide accomodation and living expenses in Ottawa. Initially, I have stated that I will pay integrally, both for living and accomodation. My visa was denied for the following reasons: Travel history - I've never been anywhere else outside...
