Intent to Return - Who looks at this?

[Fencesitter]

Anyone have knowledge of the background check done on the sponsor at the visa office?

I've read conflicting info. Some say they don't check the sponsor, only the applicant...but others are saying they do a second background check on the sponsor.

Please help...

What kind of stuff would the visa officer be checking in terms of my background in China? You mean like calling my employer? What else might they check on? Visa status? My qualifications for my current employment? Just stuff related mainly to my work here? Would they also contact the police authorities to see if I have committed any criminal offenses? I'm totally clean and haven't done anything wrong, just curious to know what they might be checking on, as it's to do with my personal background here in China.

Going back is impossible. It's too expensive. I have a letter of employment, letters from family and friends, my student ID number to a Canadian university, letters from banks and realtors enquiring about mortages / houses, plans for my son to attend school, etc...

I don't have a credit card...but I have explained my plans for re-establishing in a fairly detailed letter. I'll take care of banking and other related stuff when we land in Canada (during the first week).

Anyone have more information on how they process the sponsor at the visa office???


Thanks,

FS

I am sure you will be fine FS...your proof of intent sounds pretty solid.....and if anything they will just do a police check on you for China and like you said no charges...so you will be good.

Yes, but the question is what exactly are they checking??
