Want to invite my Colombian girlfriend to come. Help.

[jorlandoj82]

Hello. I'm a Canadian citizen. Born and raised in Canada. My girlfriend is in Colombia and I would like to have her visit me in Canada.
She is 22, a university student so she doesn't work right now. I am willing to cover her travel cost and expenses while she is here.
How are the chances of her getting a visa? Is there anything I can do to strengthen the application? She is only coming for a week as she has to get back for her exams and stuff.
I see so many rejections on this forum that I am worried that she will get rejected too. Anyone have experience with a similar situation? Or a Colombian getting a visa ?

I am going through a similar process with my girlfriend from Manila. What's her financial standing? I am told another way to help strengthen the application is write a letter of invitation. I also got some answers from people here. I can't post the link to the thread, but look up Visitor Visa for Filipina. Some of the answers might help you, with your Colombian girlfriend.

5000$, she Will be staying at my place. She is a university student in Colombia half way through her law degree and all her family lives in Colombia.
We put in the application on Wednesday so we will see.
*fingers crossed*
