    Inland on visitor: OWP + TRV extension or only OWP?

    Thank you. The stressful part is hoping to have everything under way before her status would run out, and having the holidays during our timeline adds to that. Our understanding is that the implied status would begin as of the AOR, and that the visitor visa extension request being in process...

    Inland on visitor: OWP + TRV extension or only OWP?

    Almost ready to send everything off, going to use FedEx or UPS and the application will be split in two envelopes (one 9x12 for OWP and one 11x13 for PR). I'm including a table of contents that lists everything in order including the checklists and forms and a couple notes to make sure...

    Inland on visitor: OWP + TRV extension or only OWP?

    One thing that is not clear for us in the country-specific requirements: If you hold a Philippine passport, you and your family members included in the application must follow these instructions: Principal applicant: To establish marital status, the principal applicant must submit either a...

    Hi, sorry but it's probably better to create your own thread to get the best responses to that! :)

    Inland on visitor: OWP + TRV extension or only OWP?

    Getting stuck with the employment section here, it says to provide employment for the past 10 years, but there isn't enough space and the form (unlike some other of their forms) does not have a button to add additional fields to the form. The guide says "If you need more space, print out an...

    Thanks for the heads up! I've paid the $255, and we have the appropriate police certificate as well. No children.

    Inland on visitor: OWP + TRV extension or only OWP?

    Hmm, for the application to extend visitor, we are not sure what to put as "purpose of my visit", the options being Business, Tourism, Short-Term Studies, Returning Student, Returning Worker, Super Visa, Other, Family Visit and Visit. Is selecting "other" and writing "maintain status while...

    Inland on visitor: OWP + TRV extension or only OWP?

    Thanks for the response! No Canadian clients nor any business in Canada; thanks for the reassurance. Is it ideal to include everything in the same paper application with the PR, or apply for the visitor extension separately online, or does it not matter?

    Inland on visitor: OWP + TRV extension or only OWP?

    Last year, we had the adventure of applying for the TRV to have my then-girlfriend visit me for a few weeks here in Canada (I'm a citizen). This forum was a great help since it was not easy (got approved on the 3rd try). We've planned to start our new life together here in Canada, so during...

    Inland application - am i getting this right?

    Hi all, I'm hoping to get some feedback from the more experienced members before we proceed, to hopefully minimize any headaches. I'm Canadian, my partner is Filipino, she was successful in getting her visitor visa last year. We've been together for 2 years and plan to get married and finally...

    TRV refused 2nd time. Now what?

    Welp, the 3rd try was submitted June 8th and today she received notification from CIC. We were so sure it would be refused again, but to our absolute surprise, it was approved!!! I'm totally floored. We're both shocked, and at a loss as to how we can thank everyone who has helped us with the...

    TRV refused 2nd time. Now what?

    Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize that her employment would be a red flag, I'm not exaggerating when I say that she has a comfortable life over there. Her income is on par with other professional fields, still managing to save money on top of living on her own and supporting her family...

    TRV refused 2nd time. Now what?

    Also she provided only one year of income tax return initially, I didn't realize that it might matter, but now have the past 3 years returns prepared for next time. Here is the rundown of her money situation, so you can tell me if I have been too optimistic. She has equivalent of about CAD...

    TRV refused 2nd time. Now what?

    Thanks bellaluna. My initial hope was that I could sufficiently bolster the application in time, before needing to cancel everything. There was enough time for another application to be processed, but not enough time to order and wait for GCMS and reapply. But now it's reaching the point...

    TRV refused 2nd time. Now what?

    Question for those who may know from their experience, in the "Proof of Relationship" section, for a scenario like mine where I am inviting my girlfriend to visit me, is it appropriate to include proof of relationship to her family members / "family ties" items within this category? Or would...

    TRV refused 2nd time. Now what?

    Thank you for the continued support, it means a lot to us. Thank you for helping me better understand the travel history requirement. Yes, the application is being made online, and yes the documents are being correctly uploaded. A service such as www.ilovepdf.com/merge_pdf is being used to...
