Well here is my story,
In April 2010 i went to Russia on a vacation. While i was there i met a girl while in Saint petersburg. I ended up spending nearly a month with her and convinced her to take 3 weeks off work to travel the rest of Russia with me. We went to moscow, Siberia, lake Baikal and into the mountains.This girl is really awesome. She is 19 and I'm 27 years old. On the 28th of may i had to leave her in Russia and fly back to Canada. We have been talking ever since i have left Russia. I asked her if she wanted to come visit me here and she would really like to. But now after looking into visa's for her I'm not to sure if it will be possible. That is why I'm here now. I want to get your opinions on the best course of action i can take to meet this lovely girl here in Canada . Here is some information about her and some information about me.
Me
I am 27
I am from Alberta, Canada
I work construction and make between 55,000 and 110,000 year(it varies on where i work and what i do)
I own a new house in Alberta
I have currently 25,000 in my bank.
Her
She is 19 years old
She is from saint petersburg , Russia
She works as a secretary
Her income is $1200 Canadian dollars/month
She speaks moderate English 5/10 maybe 6/10
She has only traveled outside of Russia once, to the Ukraine
She rents an apartment in Saint petersburg. She does not own property.
She does not have any formal education like university/college
She has 4500 dollars saved in her bank account
She has Family living near Saint Petersburg(Mother, Father, and 2 brothers)
So what do you think is the best option for her to get a visa. What type of visa should she apply for ? I have heard that i can also write a letter of invitation. Does this sometimes help and does anyone have a format of a letter that i can follow? Of course i will make my own, i just would like to see a letter that has been approved so i don't totally mess things up.
If anyone is interested add me as a friend to you Vkontakte page 88696812
