    New IRCC portal

    Hi Just read another thread that mentions a new IRCC portal. I'm confused as I just put together an application on what looks the same portal as I used 4 years ago (everything looks the same) I created a GCkey to login . Just want to be sure I'm using the correct portal - when I google new...

    Wanting multiple entry V-1 TRV?

    Hi, I've started an application for my Thai GF. Her first TRV in 2019 was successful and they issued a multiple entry TRV (Class = V-1) for 2+ years (to match the expiry of her passport). So not worried about getting her second TRV since her credentials are the same and she now has travel...

    TR help needed

    Hi, I have some questions regarding the TR process. The background: My girlfriend is Thai, we have been together 6 years. In 2019 she was successful in getting a TR to visit Canada (on 2nd attempt) and she visited for 10 days as per the plan submitted in her application. SHe hasn't been back...

    2nd TRV

    True but I will be writing a covering letter explaining that they will be travelling together. Of course they quite likely will ignore this, but I will write it anyways.

    2nd TRV

    She stayed 9 days in 2019 per her scheduled flight. Her flight was booked prior to visa application. She asked for 2 weeks and was given 3 years LOL.

    2nd TRV

    Ya I get it, even though the niece would have absolutely zero reason to stay in Canada.....the bureaucrat reviewing her file will be simply following an outdated check list. Absolutely insane if her visa app fails, but yes could easily happen.

    2nd TRV

    Hi thanks for the reply. I actually think the MPs letter helped. On the first rejection they said they were concerned she would over-stay. Then on the approval they ended up giving her a 3 year visa (to the expiry date of her passport), despite the fact I only asked for 2 weeks. This was in...

    2nd TRV

    Ok thanks. She did use the first Visa and exited in compliance. I guess what I'm wondering is if I should go to the same trouble of getting another support letter or perhaps not necessary since this time should be fairly easy to be approved? Also what is timing like? She is hoping to visit...

    2nd TRV

    Hi, this forum was helpful to me 3 years ago. I was applying for a TRV for my Thai GF. First try was rejected, then I wrote a blistering letter to my MP and he was good enough to write a "letter of support". The 2nd try was not only successful, the expiry on it was dated 2 yes out (to match...

    2nd application accepted - Thanks Bryanna!

    I agree that my revised application was stronger regardless of the support letter and probably my would have been successful on its own. I actually wrote to my MP to complain about the process, not for a "support letter", but they offered it and so naturally I figure it can only help. Also I...

    2nd application accepted - Thanks Bryanna!

    ok so a bunch of people have asked for me to email, so I created a document cloud to share: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A3e40fe9e-b4cd-4645-87b3-428ea54aed47 Bear in mind that I asked for help as the host of the applicant because I am a Canadian...

    2nd application accepted - Thanks Bryanna!

    My thai GF's first app was refused in January. I requested the visa officers notes - they claimed she would have an economic motive to stay in Canada and that her purpose of travel was vague and poorly documented. So in the second application i did a cover letter to refute the reasons for...

    where to put cover letter in on-line application?

    I think this is the most important document but it seems the only place to put it is in the "other (optional)" section. Just wondering if there is a better place. I believe each section only allows for one document. thanks

    GF TRV minor questions

    LOL how does it sound sketchy? This seems to be the problem, you mention the B word and everything assumes it's some online relationship with no substance? We have a bona fide relationship. Since we first met in Bangkok 2.5 years ago, I have made 7 trips to Thailand to visit her and in total...

    GF TRV minor questions

    in form 5257 details of visit to canada section, on the first attempt my GF indicated that I was her "friend" in the relationship box. Should she put "boyfriend" instead? I did indicate in the invitation letter that she was my GF so we weren't trying to hide anything. So better to be...

    Gf revenge purpose of visit

    Thanks, i am actually very determined to succeed on this next try. It's just that if it fails, it will not be until Apr 2020 that she could get 2 weeks off again. I'm just frustrated at the process....

    Gf revenge purpose of visit

    It's not feasible for my gf to book another trip after her Canada trip because she wouldn't be able to time off work. She's maxed out her time off with her canada trip. And I could book something for myself but if they don't believe she will use her return flight, why would they believe me?

    Gf revenge purpose of visit

    Thanks again Bryanna She has a booked flight to Toronto April 9-23. The ticket is non-refundable. Also April is the only time of year she can get 2 weeks away from work. So basically it's now or never. Also the strength of her application is unlikely to improve, in fact it would worsen if her...
