Offtopic.. interesting your username. Thats what some people there call me (Deedee)

So true. Actually rarely enough to eat nevermind holding in an account. If we had know, could have been making small deposits all these years. Times it eould have been impossible not to touch though. Plus its such an ordeal to open an account .. all the things required. If any updates I'll post...

Thanks much :-)

I hear you. Funny part is .. it has really been me pushing for this visa. Not him. He'd be fine for me to just live there. All the time. Some people just want to stay home (I have family here thats like that). We just haven't figured out how to do that. I gotta work. I prefer not to feel hunger...

I guess I just think differently. I happened to fall in love with someone from a poverty stricken country (while there volunteering at a homeless shelter nearly 7 years ago.. we were friends only first for 1.5 years before becoming romantically involved). I've been fortunate enough to travel...

Ok thank you very much .. we will try with what we have (plus a few more things to copy now). Hopefully it's enough. If not .. more $ down the drain :-/ P.s. what might red flags be? For future reference.

Oops.. first reply wasnt showing to me so did it again.

Lol ok .. guess we get married (ineve Lol guess we get married. Inevitable but we haven't been in any rush.

Also.. re ties/children... the 2 younger that are still in JA. Very strong. They've lived half their lives with him (on his own I mean .. apart from when he was with their Mothers). He (we) pay for their school fees etc & help out their Mothers with food. He lived with them 4 years straight up...

So any good/constructive advice then? From you or anyone. Regarding that? He's like most people in JA, living hand to mouth. He only opened a bank account for the visa app. Are we wasting our time? We should just get married and apply for spousal .. and take another 2 years before he can visit...

What if the money I have earmarked for this is put into his account instead? Would that matter do you think? They do ask for a bank statement from him so it would show a large deposit (yes I trust him)... so, coming from me it would be the same but under his control. Feeling very discouraged...

So I should have just said friend? Thats like a lie to me :-(

Thanks for reply. I didn't indicate that we are engaged in my invitation letter. I said boyfriend/girlfriend. We have been together over 5 years .. it would just be lovely to have him come here for a change :-) No plans to have him live here (we are older)(best case is I live there 6 months/6...

Thanks. Re:#1 it says right in the checklist on the canada immigration website that "if someone else is funding your trip have them provide ..... " If we expect the visitor to pay for themselves, why is this even there? #2 he has the 2 birth cert for his children that are there in JA. We filled...

In process of trying to get a visitor visa for my fiance (he's in Jamaica). He had the appointment to hand in application & do biometrics. But it was like a mini interview instead. They sent him away with a list of things he must come back with (application not accepted at that time). My first...
