Hi Scylla,
Just had a query in relation to single entry Visa's to Canada...I have to make a small 15 day trip to Toronto...andd i am currently residing in India...can you please tell me if there is a high chance of visa denial...coz thats the first thing I heard from a frnd...my purpose of visit is to see my girlfriend there...should I be mentioning the same in my visa interview...? and i am kinda in a state of confusion...
I will be applying for a U.S student visa by March...would having or NOT having a Canada visa (i.e. incase the visa is rejected) would affect my chances of the student visa??
sorry to be putting my query in a different thread..my thread is still without replies

Thanks,

I have no idea what impact this would have on a US student visa. I would suggest you post this question to a US immigration site.
It's really impossible to say what your chances are of having the Canadian visit visa refused or accepted. The most you can do is try and hope for the best. People are sometimes refused for having insufficient funds. So you should show a sufficient bank balance to support yourself while on your visit to Canada (probably good to show $1K). Likely the biggest reason why people are refused is insufficient ties. You need to prove that you have strong ties to your home country and are not at risk of overstaying in Canada. Proof of strong ties can include: property ownership, rental agreements, business ownership, employment proof (i.e. proof you have a full time job), school enrollment proof, bank accounts, other assets, family ties (e.g. wife and children who are not traveling with you). Since you are a young person, I would guess you're probably most at risk for being refused due to insufficient strong ties. So provide as much proof as you can that you're going to return home.
