Did you get your passport back? What's the validity of your TRV? And for how long do you intend to visit?

This pretty much hits the nail right on the head.Regina said:Then he will be at home soon. Your anniversaries in such circumstances are not a big deal for VO. When your husband left for Canada he knew about them and their importance for you but left nevertheless.
And when your husband will graduate?

When visa applicants in your situation say "visit" Canada, visa officers think "family unification", and that's not what a visitor visa is for.
A professional who wants to attend a conference in his field is a visitor. Someone who wants to join her spouse in Canada is NOT a visitor. No matter what personal details you feed the visa officer (anniversaries, etc.) you simply do not qualify for a visitor visa.
And we've not yet even asked you the other crucial question: Why doesn't your husband visit you in your home country instead? That would be much cheaper and with fewer hassles. No visitor visa required to visit your own country, ... last time I checked.
Yes. But it's NOT normal for family members to take all the trouble to submit a mountain of documents, and reapply if necessary, just for a visit visa. Someone who does all this would not be a genuine visitor. He smells of somebody who is desperate to flee his country and get into Canada. This is an obvious fact and it does not go away because you ignore it.sayadil said:Marcus. I just wanted to ask... isn't it normal for spouses or family members to visit you. if you have had visitors from around the world and sent them back on time why would u suddenly change. if there r people who r abusing the system why don't they catch those people and take action. why make it hard for everyone else. I mean i came to canada in 2000 as a student when i did feel i should make canada my home i properly applied for residency without having my visa expired and was allowed. if my application would have been denied i would have left. we followed the legal process. similarly a person needs his immediate family visiting him from time to time. whats wrong with that as long as you make sure they leave before visa expires. i feel for 1000s of people who abuse the system a lot more have to deal with hassle. i think its normal for your spouse to be to visit you. if two people wanna live together they do have option of sponsoring the spouse so you can do that legally as well.
Permanent residents will have more reason for family to visit them than anyone else yet its weird how they deal with the applications. A whole family taking a holiday together is made an issue. (Family ties theory). if you leave ur family members behind to take a holiday how unfair it is for them. they will sulk knowing half of the family is enjoying.
just my view.
Ok theres a difference between relatives and immediate family... immediate family needs to see you and will do their best to see you. all the legal formalities and documents are not the problem. problem is when u do submit all or most of them... a biased visa officer rejects it for reasons which make no sense ( like family ties or Purpose of visit... two notorious refusal reasons). flying half way around the world is not even a reasoning.... my family for example has visited almost every known tourist country.... Germany switzerland italy france spain uk singapore malaysia thailand hongkong USA and even Canada. flying is always involved... what can you do... if you don't wanna fly you would be stuck in one country only...marcus66502 said:Yes.

You haven't answered the main question: why does it make sense for your foreign relatives to go to all this visa application trouble just to be able to fly half way around the world? It's a lot cheaper and a lot less hassle for YOU to go visit them in your own country. Either way, you see each other, right?
It's well known that Canada is more expensive than most places on earth so your relatives visiting you in Canada would cost a lot more money. If you're taking this more expensive course of action, this would lead me as a visa officer to suspect that your relatives are not genuine visitors but have other motives.
If you're going to reply to my posts, then answer the above questions and spare me any other emotional speeches that have nothing to do with the question at hand. Those I'm not interested in.
Not necessary. They can drive/walk or take train, bus or cruiseship travel to other countries.sayadil said:if you don't wanna fly you would be stuck in one country only...
Isn't that people have to do the same if they apply for a Schengen visa? It does not mean they would not be a genuine visitor.marcus66502 said:Yes.

I disagree. Sometimes it's reasonable.marcus66502 said:If you're suggesting that your staying with your family in your country is as expensive as hosting your family in Canada, well ... that's so ridiculous it's beneath deserving a response.
