We’ve been telling you the general tendencies when it comes to similar profiles as yours...specially with a partner in Canada.

A Canadian TRV is one of the harder ones to get in my observation, even harder than a US tourist visa. Since it’s mostly based on documents. What usually works is “show, not tell”, that’s why we advise people to have good jobs, good bank accounts, and good travel history to visa-required countries.

Now, if you’re willing to take the hit ($185 + refusal in your records), you can certainly try to apply the one time...be honest about your partner and explain in the letter you have no intention to migrate to Canada, that it’s just a way to try to strengthen the relationship. There are sometimes officers with sympathetic hearts who would still approve similar cases. Not saying it will work for sure...it is a very small chance if you’re willing to take it.

If you do do that and get refused, you shouldn’t apply again until a significant change occurs.

It’s a good thing you asked questions first before applying. You really have to prepare well for a TRV application.

wow how come he got approved without properties, no travel history.. so lucky.

i don't want to waste his time preparing for requirements and money for sending the papers and notary. because I'm 100% sure my application would be denied. i screenshot all these conversations here and told him that marriage is the easiest way but I'm not sure if he is ready to get married haha we'll see if he will visit again in ph or we will meet in another country.. thank you

Just to add. In case you guys decided to stay together and get married you still must prove that relationship is true and genuine. You just have to build a solid profile just like our consultant keep mentioning here.
Me and wife are both Filipino. My wife came to Canada first and petition me eventually. We kept all receipts from restaurant, hotel reservations, vacation picture with family and friend, social media conversation and pretty everything that we can think of are attached to our application to satisfy the officer that we are really together. Three weeks later decision has been made and I received my visa after we submit our application.
Best of luck to both of you.

thank you for replying sir we only have pictures together and conversation.. next time i will keep the receipt of the restaurant and hotel reservations.. did you submit your bank statement? did you get your permanent visa after 6months or a year?

TRV processing can take 3 weeks. PR processing takes around a year.
