Hi everyone,

I just wanna go to Canada to see my girlfriend.

Now I plan to apply TRV.

She can write an invitation letter. So should she write that I'm just her friend or her boyfriend? Which one is better to get TRV?

Both of us are not PR or citizen of Canada.

Thanks a lot in advance :D

Thanks a ton buddy

But will the visa officer suspect that I told a lie because I'm a boy while my friend who I plan to visit in Canada is a girl?

Or maybe I just think too much... ???

Is your uncle Canadian?

Your uncle can send you an invitation letter with his bank statement. In the letter, he should explain that he will sponsor you when you in Canada.

I think that will be helpful.

You can get more information here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/letter.asp

When I first came up to visit my boyfriend, I had the same worry, and I asked him to write the letter as a friend. As I later found out, this wasn't the wisest move - Border Agents are trained to look for giveaways or inconsistencies, and they quickly found out the actual nature of our relationship. After "misrepresenting information", it was only through a very kind guard who allowed me to explain myself that I was allowed in at all!

I'd recommend to just be up front and honest. As was explained to me, Border Services aren't trying to keep couples apart. Border Services and Immigration are concerned mainly with verifying that you'll leave Canada at the end of your visit. The fact that you're visiting a significant other will raise a few flags, and you'll likely have to answer a few more questions, but it's much better than appearing as though you're trying to hide the relationship.

Hi.

Can a work permit holder invite a friend or boyfriend here? Would that be possible? or you should be a permanent resident or an open work permit holder?
