Visit Visa Assistance

[noorlee]

Good day Everyone! Hope all of you can assist me and my friend

I have a Sri Lankan friend, 22 years old and currently working as company driver in one of the company here in Qatar. He will be two years by April 2013 and already eligible for vacation and company sponsored ticket by then. Before he worked in saudi for 6 years. He started working by the age of 15.

He wants to take his vacation in canada to visit my cousin. However, it is only the husband of her cousin has work. He works as an Engineer and his cousin gave birth to their second child in Canada last year.

Can you help us with the requirements?

Is this good enough:
1. Marriage certificate of her cousin and her husband's cousin - to show that they are legally married
2. work details of her husband
3. their bank statement
4. invitation letter from them
5. Do i need to attach her cousins, my friends own birth certificate, and her and my friend's father birth certificate to show that they are cousins?
6. since they will take care of me during my stay in canada, how much is the necessary bank balance from there side and my friends side
7. what we need to show to the visa officer regarding the strong ties? since my friend left sri lankan since 2007 at the age of 15 and went back only for vacation.
8. i will attach employment certificate, letter from the employer and contract to show to the visa officer that my friend will leave canada and not overstay - is this good enough?
9. travel history - ?

Kindly assist us and thank you in advance

Re: Visit Visa Assistance For Sri Lankan

1. Your friend is visiting your family and even then at the cousin/ cousin in law level (if there is such a thing).

2. He is not a national of Qatar (what is his status and how long is it valid for there) and has left Sri Lanka at 15 so really he has no ties to his actual home country.

3. Sri Lanka is a high source of refugee claims in Canada (e.g. The MV Sun Sea Saga where 490+ Tamils were smuggled to BC and resulted in amendments to the refugee system).

I don't think he will get a visa - his profile is a match to someone high risk of not leaving Canada but hey you never know till you try.

1. He is visiting his cousin. Her cousin has no work but the husband is who is an engineer.

2. He is here under work visa (contract is open ended). He will be two years now here in Qatar.

3. Sad to know about this refugee claim. I know he will leave canada after. And your very right. We will never know until we try.
