is that your personal definition or the legal definition of "living" in Canada on a TRV? The very definition of a resident is someone who resides on a long term basis. To me, TRV is very clearly named and defined as a catch-all type of naming to assume all who enter on it are going to be treated...

good questions, she honestly has no intention of staying. How can we prove it? Well I guess we can't really give definitive proof except the whole point that since she already has a TRV, if we were planning on getting married and filing papers we could declare a stay of 2 weeks, get married any...

And been accepted in? GF has a TRV visa and she would like to come for 4-5 months but I think it might be suspcicious sounding to the border. She does plan to leave but I would be mortified if she was denied entry at the border and turned around. She just finished her degree and has plenty of...

Reading the forums here all I see is impossible, impossible, impossible. Yet everywhere I go I see skilled and unskilled TFW's who are working, did they just get in from the previous program or what is going on here? I mean really, step into most tim hortons and you can see most of the workers...

well its quite simple. you applied 3 times and you were refused 3 times.

if you go about it with this kind of attitude you will not succeed. It is not just about having strong ties, it is about showing that as clearly as possible to the CIC officer reading your file. Your situation does raise warning bells, because she is leaving her kids to visit someone who she...

that looks like the reason right there, you applied for the wrong type of visa and you didn't submit the medical exam.

would you be willing to post the details or PM me as well? I'm also curious about this situation.

they can't issue you a visa valid for longer than the passport. You should have considered this and renewed your passport before applying. What you're saying doesn't make any sense, what would you do with a visa that is still valid after your passport expired? Peel it off and stick it into your...

I requested 3 months, and the purpose of the visit was to meet family and friends and tourism. One thing I should also mention is I made sure the cover letter was well written and not too lengthy. It briefly listed the documents I had attached. And for the important documents I made a cover...

Applied April 5, submitted biometrics one week later. Passport request April 29. Submitted passport May 1. Approval and passport ready May 5. Total time approx 1 month. Online estimator said 90 - 111 days.

thanks mikeymike. I read one of your posts as well to get your wife a TRV and it helped me quite a bit. I was doubtful, everything was against us and it was the most unfavorable circumstance. That's why I wanted to include all these extra documents to show the officer our position. In vietnam...

I wanted to make this post to help others because there is not a lot of clear information anywhere online. We worked really hard on our visa application and it was very stressful because all we heard was other peoples opinion telling us we had no chances. First she filled out a form to give me...

i applied online for her. I'll be making a post soon to help people out who are trying to come from Vietnam

Help guys, I'm so confused, I've read most of this thread and still no answers. Everyone is saying they sent the passport to the consulate in the USA but nobody mentions the country they are applying from. Is this only when you are applying from the USA? Does each country process it's own...

we got this message on our online application today. This is for an online application in Vietnam. The website is directing us to bring the passport to the VAC in ho chi minh city. I'm wondering does anyone have experience at this point, since my gf is 5 hours journey from HCMC. Will the...

I don't understand why it would seem strange to a CIC officer, that any person coming to Canada from overseas, having to pay about $1000 CAD for a round trip flight and jump through all sorts of hoops and BS to get here, would just finish their business in the shortest amount of time like 2-3...

Can someone explain online vs in person application's to me? There is purposely some lack of information on CIC's part here to keep people misinformed. Clearly the two processes are different, but nobody seems to know the actual answer, WHICH one is faster, and WHO processes them? I applied...

the limit to each attachment is 4mb which can be tricky if you are attaching a lot of photos and scanned records. you can apply online no signature is required. you will need to create for her a mycic and gckey. I would fill out the representative form just in case.

I bought both and included them in my application. For insurance I used this website: http://travelinsure.ca/result-quotes.php the coverage wasn't too expensive and it is fully refundable if you cancel before the date of the travel and show some proof of the person being unable to take the...
