Should my BF apply under Tourism or Visit Family/Friends?

IMO, it would help if he could work out a trip where he could use his US visa even if the US visit is for just a couple of days, maybe for work reasons or sightseeing/meet friends.

His trip itinerary could be: China >> Canada >> US >> China

He would also need to focus on proving he has strong ties to China (which he does) + include a Travel History explanation (scanned visas, previous entry/exit dates and purpose of each visit).

He is eligible to apply for CAN+ processing if his US visa is valid

Thanks Bryanna! You’ve got the gears in my head turning!

Yes he is eligible for CAN+! He has a B1/B2 US visa valid until his passport expires. Thank goodness!

Hmm… perhaps your friend had an easy time obtaining a visa because he travelled with family (whereas my BF will be travelling as an individual). They also joined a local tour and if that was preplanned, the tour documents would have been very helpful for their application. My BF though, he’ll be exploring on his own.

Actually, they joined the local tour after their arrival. So the tour document was not in their application.

Hello, I'm new here

I want to visit a friend in Canada at the same time have my baby. I am being completely honest with the cic but I don't know if I should select visit friend/family or tourism. I have an invitation letter from my friend and she would be accommodating us.

Your responses would be appreciated
