Just to report, either my girlfriend has been very lucky, or CIC has gotten their act together seriously. She applied to extend her visitor status 1 month before her existing visitor status was expiring. At the time the CIC website said that the average processing time was 124 days, and the...

If your parents want to visit you soon, i.e. until June, they can come on their present visa. The expiry date on the visa is the last date on which they can be allowed to enter Canada. So, theoretically, if their visa expires on for example June 15th, 2016, they can come to Canada on June 15th...

Seeing as that you are saying you just want to go home for 4 weeks, I'm guessing you're talking about a TRV (informally known as a "visitor visa" or "tourist visa") here, not PR. In that case the "sponsoring" problem is easily solved. Do you have family in Canada (parents? siblings? cousins?)...

Of course not. What you are talking about is not travel history, but residence history. Travel history is on another page of the form.

On the forms, you must answer questions about whether you have ever overstayed in a country or done anything contrary to the terms of the visa you were on. You must answer these questions truthfully. Applying with a different passport does not save you from saying what you did with your other...

You can use any passport you like. You are a dual citizen and it's your choice which passport you use. Btw, why do you think you would be refused for a visa with your Swiss passport because you went to the US? And to Quebec? What does that matter? The fact you legally traveled to Canada and...

1. Just tell them you are visiting your gf for 2 months. Say you managed to get a long vacation. 2. Often they don't ask, it is not strictly required to have a return ticket with you, but it can help (it's not rock-solid proof, border officials are not dumb and know that you can...

It is extremely unlikely your mother would be refused to enter Canada, even if she says she is coming for 5 months. Canada is a country of immigrants and people's parents and grandparents come to visit all the time. The border officer is not going to access your mother's visa application and...

1) Your mother has family in Canada, but you did not demonstrate she has a lot of family in her home country (or current country of residence). Therefore the visa officer concluded that she has strong family ties to Canada (you), but not to her home country, therefore she might be motivated to...

scylla mentioned the Working Holiday visa. This is done under the IEC program. Poland has an IEC agreement with Canada (just like I think all EU countries). If you girlfriend is under 35, then she could be eligible to apply. The IEC has three categories: - Working holiday - people who want to...

Yes, but CIC has concluded that what you said you want to do in Canada is not just a business visit, but work which requires a work permit, and therefore in your case a LMIA. There is a fine line sometimes between travelling for business - and working. For the first case, you only need a...

Google is your friend :) http://canada.angloinfo.com/transport/vehicle-ownership/vehicle-insurance/ Also, are you a permanent resident of Canada or the US? (you say you have a G2, that's why I ask). Because if you are a Canadian resident...it's complicated...

Btw oerisir, You said you only got a 2 year TRV since your passport was expiring in two years...than you said the TRV expires March 2016. When does your passport expire?? Look here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5551ETOC.asp You said you applied for the...

First of all, where did you get the idea that you must enter 30 days from the date your visa is issued? Look here: http://www.immihelp.com/visitor-visa/usa-visit-travel-preparation.html In fact, on US embassy websites, they encourage you to apply for a visa many months in advance prior to your...

What visa office are you applying to? It varies greatly by visa office. The best you can know is the information posted on the CIC website regarding processing times. That is an average over the past few months. Online is not necessarily faster than paper. For example, for TRV extensions (not...

It's my understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that you must prove common-law status under Canadian law (i.e. you must satisfy the conditions under which couples are are recognized as living in a common law relationship in Canada). The rules in your country may be more strict or more...

OK, now I understand. In your invitation letter, then, write a) that you are inviting your father to come for a visit for X days/weeks/months b) that your income is $Y per year, you live at Z where you rent/own, you work at W c) that you will provide food and accommodation for your father d)...

I don't really understand the thing with your brother. Is your brother visiting too? Or just your dad? If just your dad, why would your brother then write a letter? If you want to make clear your father lives with your brother, this your father must already do by himself when filling the TRV...

What do you mean by "in your record in Canada"? Do you have some official document by which you can prove that she is your mother, where her name is given with her maiden name? For example, your birth certificate? If you have this, then you should be fine.

No, it will not get rejected automatically just because she applied for PR. Read this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/dual.asp She must however demonstrate on her TRV application that she will return to her home country. Depending on that she might get accepted or...
