Citizenship and Immigration Canada
September 20th, 2015
Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Application for Visitor Visa for my spouse (wife)
I, xxxxx, am happily married to my wife, xxxx since xxxx as per Hindu customs and rituals. We met each other via family members and our marriage can be referred to being ‘arranged’.
I am a naturalized Canadian citizen, born on xxxx, and currently residing at xxxx. My cellular contact number is xxxx. I'm currently working as a xxxx with the xxxx (hereafter referred to as xxxx), for over xxxx. My start date at the xxxx was xxxx. Previously, I have worked at xxxx from xxxx to xxxx as an Electrical Engineer. My annual salary is xxxx. I graduated from xxxx in xxxx from Electrical Engineering discipline and have been working for the past xxxx years. I receive approximately xxxx after taxes bi-weekly and have approximately xxxx in RRSP’s, TFSA’s and other day-to-day savings accounts, excluding the principle invested in my home. I will be sponsoring my wife’s entire trip to Canada. Please find enclosed my Notice of Assessment for the past three (3) years and my employer reference letters.
The purpose of writing this invitation letter is to invite the applicant, my wife who is a citizen of India, to come to Canada in order to visit me, and also to travel to few other cities, like Toronto, Niagara Falls, Ottawa and Montreal together. We would also be celebrating the Hindu festivals of Dusshera (October 22nd) and Diwali (November 11th) together. As per Hindu beliefs, these festivals are considered to be very auspicious and a good omen for a newly married couple. The proposed length of stay is four (4) weeks from October 17th, 2015 – November 13th, 2015.
Please find below a few pertinent details about my wife (the applicant):
Name: xxxx
Date and Place of Birth:
Education & Occupation:
Addresses: Before marriage
After marriage
Passport Number:
Contact Information:
As per our traditions, after marriage she is living with my parents (her parents-in-law). My parents, my maternal grandmother and my wife currently live at the above noted address. My parents, who are retired, own this house. My wife was living with her parents and her older sister prior to marriage at the above noted address.
I would like you to consider my wife’s, xxxx visitor visa application for the following reasons:
Family Ties: My wife was born and brought up in xxxx, India and is currently working as a xxxx at xxxx, which is a leading IT software training institute in xxxx. She has an immediate family of four (4) that includes her parents, older sister and herself. She was born and brought up in a joint-family household which comprised of her grandparents, paternal uncles and aunts and her cousins living under one house in xxxx, India. In 2004, my wife’s parents bought their own house and have been residing there ever since (address noted above). My wife also has many relatives living in xxxx itself, and has no family members or relatives residing in Canada, with the exception of myself and my older brother. Therefore, my wife’s family ties in India are very strong and she has a very compelling tie to return to India after her visit in October 2015.
Education and Employment History: My wife has completed her Masters in xxxx. Due to the high job demand of software consultants and growth potential in this field, she had taken courses in Java and SAP Basis. Her employment history includes being a research assistant for her professor while in university and a xxxx since May 2015. She has accrued sufficient funds over the course of time and if required, has funds from her parents as well as my parents to support her for the duration of this trip.
Our history: My wife and I got married on xxxx and had our marriage registered on xxxx in xxxx, India. Please refer to enclosed marriage certificate. I have visited India twice in total. My 1st visit to India was from xxxx, 2015 – xxxx, 2015. We got engaged and married during this time and also held our reception and celebrated our honeymoon. My 2nd visit to India was from xxxx, 2015 – xxxx, 2015 to spend more time with my newly wedded wife. However, my wife has never been to Canada before, and we have talked about her coming to Canada to not only visit me and my brother and friends, but also to travel around to explore a little bit of Canadian culture. More importantly, I want her to visit me so that she can see what it would feel like to live in Canada, to reside in her future house, and what her lifestyle would be like in future.
She currently has a Permanent Resident (PR) application with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), with me being the sponsor. The UCI number is xxxx and Application No.: xxxx. I have already been approved as a Sponsor on xxxx and her file has been transferred to the New Delhi Visa Office. According to the CIC website, it would take another 17 months for my wife to be granted the PR. I recently started a new job and hence, I am unable to take any vacation days since I am still on my probationary period at work (my probation period ends on xxxx, 2015) and haven’t accrued enough vacation days yet (I have accrued a total of only six (6) vacation days to date). I feel it is only reasonable that after having visited her twice already in the current year, I would like for her to visit me at least once.
My wife’s stay in Canada: During my wife’s stay in Canada, she will reside with me in my home in xxxx; therefore she will incur no living expenses. Please refer to attached mortgage document showing proof of ownership. I will also be the one driving her around the city, so she will have no transportation expenses. I will be working on the weekdays, while my wife will remain home until I return. In the evenings, we will be visiting my friends around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), dinner and movie dates and enjoy the fall weather.
Please find below our proposed itinerary:
October 17th, 2015: Arrival at Pearson International Airport, Toronto (Please see the enclosed airline travel ticket itinerary). Pick her up and bring her to my home in xxxx.
October 18th, 2015: Grocery shopping and rest at my home;
October 19th, 2015 – October 21st, 2015: I will be going to work, while my wife stays at home. Either stay at home or go shopping, dinner, movies etc. in the evening;
October 22nd, 2015: I will be taking the day off to go to a temple (xxxx located at xxxx) and celebrate the occasion of Dusshera with my brother and friends;
October 23rd, 2015 – October 25th, 2015: Take Friday off from work and go to Ottawa for the weekend. We will be staying at my friends place in Ottawa. My friends name is xxxx and he lives in his own house at xxxx. He lives with his wife and daughter. xxxx works at xxxx in Ottawa. During this trip, we will be visiting Downtown Ottawa, Parliament Hill, visit Canadian museum of natural history, Canadian Science and Technology Museum. Our evenings will be spent at Byward Market and enjoying different cuisines. Our nights will be spent with xxxx and his family. We will be driving back to xxxx on Sunday, October 25th, 2015. xxxx and his family were guests at my wedding in India in xxxx, 2015. Refer to attached pictures;
October 26th, 2015 – October 29th, 2015: Regular work week schedule. Spend time with my wife in the evenings;
October 30th, 2015 – November 1st, 2015: Take Friday off from work and visit Downtown Toronto, CN Tower, Ripleys Aquarium, Casa Loma, Toronto Islands, Art Gallery of Ontario, Rogers Centre to watch the Bluejays capture the World Series. The Rogers Centre option is purely hypothetical at this juncture.
November 2nd, 2015 – November 5th, 2015: Regular work week schedule. Spend time with my wife in the evenings;
November 6th, 2015 – November 8th, 2015: Take Friday off from work and visit Montreal for the weekend. We will be staying at Novotel Montreal located at 1180 rue de la Montagne, Montreal, Québec H3G 1Z1 and visit Old Montreal, Mont Royal, Notre-Dame Basilica, take a boat cruise on Saint Lawrence River and enjoy Montreal’s fine cuisine;
November 9th, 2015 – November 10th, 2015: Go to work for the two (2) days and spend time with my wife in the evenings;
November 11th, 2015 – November 12th, 2015: Take two (2) days off from work and go to Swami Narayan Temple located at 61 Claireville Dr, Toronto, ON M9W 5Z7 to celebrate the biggest Hindu festival in our calendar, Diwali. Drive to Niagara Falls for the evening and spend the night at Marriot Fallsview located at 6740 Fallsview Blvd, Niagara Falls, ON L2G 3W6. We will be driving back to xxxx on November 12th, 2015;
November 13th, 2015: Wife leaves Canada for India.
As mentioned previously, all food, entertainment, shopping and miscellaneous expenses will be taken care of by me. My wife will still bring funds to Canada (around $xxxx.00), but her funds will only serve as a backup source.
I would like to strongly state that my wife will not overstay her visa and she is aware of all the rules and regulations pertaining to the Temporary Resident Visa. She would not jeopardize her PR Application by overstaying in Canada on a visitor visa. She also does not plan on working, or seek work while on this visa nor do anything else that would violate the terms of the visitor visa. She needs to report back to her work in India on November 16th, 2015. She would also be purchasing travel insurance for the duration of her trip. Therefore, I would not have to bear any unexpected medical costs for her. Also, my dad will be undergoing a medical procedure on his ailing knees for rheumatoid arthritis in early 2016. My wife, who has become a strong support for my retired parents, will be helping my parents with their daily chores after the surgery. I have also travelled the world extensively (as can be observed on my enclosed passport copies) and have never overstayed my welcome in any country, proving my track-record.
Since this is our first year of marriage, we would like to spend these four (4) weeks together and return back to our obligations and routine after. We have already spent each other’s birthdays apart this year. Having considered my wife’s strong family ties back home in India, lack of criminal record, well-paying and genuine occupation, detailed plans of her stay while in Canada, healthy amount of funds for her stay, travel insurance, as well as my job and assets, and my Sponsorship Approval from CIC, I sincerely request that you could grant my wife, xxxx, a temporary visitor visa to Canada.
Thank you for your time and patience.
Sincerely,
xxxx
