Hi there!
I've been to embassy and they sent me to VAC but still didn't get satisfying answer but I really hope to get one here.

Im a Mexican citizen and I've been to Canada many times under work permit and as a tourist too in last 10 years so I can get my Canadian visit visa again without any headache even before 1st of December but here comes the complications.

Im a Mexican married to a Pakistani citizens for around 2 years now and he arrived here in Mexico in April 2016 on a marriage visa so he has residency here now.
A friend of mine from Canada who is a Canadian citizen, wants to sponsor us for 2 weeks trip to Canada as a marriage gift and want to pay everything for us from air tickets to food and accommodation etc because we don't have money or big credit history etc. That sponsor earns more than enough in Canada and has a huge house there.
I can go easily but my Pakistani citizen spouse cannot go to Canada easily like me so what should we do as a couple to go to Canada together because its out first honeymoon and obviously I cannot go alone, leaving him in Mexico.
So my questions are,

Is my Canadian friend's sponsorship going to be enough because we don't have enough money in our bank accounts?

2) what are the visa chances for my spouse?

PS, as travel history, He was in the UK for 3 years legally and been to UAE for a week recently and now is here in Mexico with me. He has no criminal records.

Regards:)

Very straight forward case! :)

As the post below suggested, both host and applicants must have sufficient funds to support the applicant's stay in Canada.

I don't know if 5000$CAD will be enough for both of you for 2 weeks, but you can try. It sounds like enough, especially if someone else will be covering your expenses but you never know with CIC.

Where is this money right now? If it's in a bank account, just get a statement from the bank. It doesn't matter how long it's been in there, you just need to be able to use it and show that you have it.

The best way to figure out if your savings will be enough is to work out a detailed day-by-day itinerary with expense estimates.... and prove you can pay for this itinerary + airfare + some spare funds.

Your financial situation is more important from a TRV perspective (not your sponsors).

Apart from the financial aspects, your husband must prove he has good reasons to return to Mexico.... for example, a job, lease agreement, etc

Unfortunately, that's not enough. In fact, it would show that he does not have any ties to Mexico
