Visitor's visa for Personal Assistant from Nepal to American living in Israel

[janicerotman]

An American citizen who resides in Jerusalem and who is wheel chair dependant
as a sufferer of Multiple Sclerosis will be travelling to the cooler temperatures of Toronto this summer on her doctor's advice, as a guest of Canadian citizens.

She is completely dependant on her assistant, (to such an extent that she
is unable to be separated from her for more than three hours, the minimum
time it will take us to come to and return from Tel Aviv to present the application for a visitor's visa.) The assistant is completely devoted to her employer and would not consider travel anywhere were it not for her employer's need to leave Israel over the summer. A widow, the assistant sends money to Nepal for the care of her thirteen year old son.

As a citizen of Nepal the assistant was once before denied a travel visa on
the basis that the visa officer was not satisfied that she was a genuine
visitor who would leave Canada when required to. This was, under the
circumstances,an extremely baseless and unfortunate decision that proved
disastrous for the employer whose dependance on her assistant is, as I have
stated, intense.

In this particular circumstance, again, not to grant the visa to the assistant would be cruel and totally unnecessary.

My questions are as follows:

(1) Is there a way to make the application completely remotely so that the assistant does not have to travel to Tel Aviv?

(2) What documentation/proof would a visa officer require to satisfy
him/herself that there is absolutely no danger that the assistant would chose
to remain in Canada after her visa expires.

Is there any way that the assistant can go to the Canadian consulate in New Delhi, India (for all people from Nepal) to get the visitor visa?  She has no family ties in Israel, so might be the reason for the 1st time refusal of the visitor visa.

You may want to check if there is any requirement for you to travel to India.  Hope this helps.
