Sounds good, we'll wait until the visa expires before renewing it.

Which basically means, keep the passport with the maiden name until the expiration of the visa (4 years, which is the same than the passport expiration date)?

Hi folks, first and foremost thanks for your help a few months back in obtaining a TRV visa for my wife - we both enjoyed our trip to Canada. Since we were a bit in a hurry at that time, my wife was still using her passport with her maiden name - however, she now got all of her documents...

Final update: The passport arrived at the VFS office sooner than expected so my lawyer went to pick it up and informed me that we were granted a 4-year multiple entry visa. Thanks for everyone who helped me prepare a correct application!

I'm writing this to update you on the case - we sent the application on Monday and the application has already been processed and will be returned to the VFS later today. My lawyer will pick the documents up tomorrow afternoon, and we will know the result. The CIC website states 9 days for the...

For a TRV visa, you might get an interview, it all depends on the agent processing the application. Some get one, some don't.

The house and all utilities are under her name. No evidence of bank transfers as they get paid in cash.

All right. We added: - Letter from direct supervisor allowing vacation - Plane ticket with total trip of 22 days - Letter from her parents stating that they are retired and need her financial support

Will consider this. Are 6-month bank statements sufficient to prove funds?

Two more questions that came in my mind today: 1) Can obtaining a Chinese visa + booking a trip to China in late January add credibility to the cause, since the VO will see that she got a visa and has plans outside Canada at the end of her stay? We can get a visa in 24 hours here. 2) I just...

For the flight, it's actually easy - go on Expedia and book a fully refundable flight. Once you get your visa, cancel the flight, and purchase a proper one.

That's some solid advice, thanks. If anyone has additional tricks, feel free to chime in. We'll submit the application at the end of next week and I'll update this thread with the result.

All right, for the employment letter, we'll try to get that, I perfectly agree that it might be required. They don't actually give "pay stubs" but there are monthly incoming transfers in the bank account that clearly match what's on the employment letter, which is the standard way of doing...

1) Part of the money has been used to purchase the house and the car but there remains a large chunk there. However the account shows activity and gradual accumulation over a long period, and isn't just one large "lump sum" deposited before the application. 2) Yes, it is a fully legal...

According to CIC website, the processing time is 16 days. You will get your passport back at the end of the processing period, with either a visa, or a refusal letter. The enveloppe you included is okay as well. The VAC, unless I'm wrong, has the responsibility to check for that.

We'll try to shorten it to 3 weeks - I booked a cheap fully-refundable economy flight, which I'll cancel upon approval and book a proper flight. We have no intention of overstaying as we want to avoid problems in the future. The letter doesn't mention the 5-year duration, nor the vacation...

Good afternoon fellow CanadaVisaers, I'm on the verge of applying for a TRV visa for my Thai wife to come to Canada for Christmas. I understand that I have pretty much 1 chance of making it right, so I want to make it right the first time and I'm planning on applying for her at the end of next...
