TRV profile assessment

[poutine800]

Hello everyone,

I would like to discuss the documents + application that we will be submitting for TRV for my husband.
-I'm a citizen and my husband isn't
-I don't currently reside in Canada, I'm with my husband back in our home country
-Husband has no travel history in the past 10 years + refused US visa in the past (declared in the application, of course)
-We would like to visit Canada for a period of 2-3 weeks during June for tourism/sightseeing

As for the documents we will be submitting:
-Our apartment ownership contract (assets)
-Bank statements
-Employment letter
-Vacation request approved + stamped from his company
-Our marriage certificate
-Car loan statements
-Day by day itinerary
-Flight tickets showing return dates

I know chances for TRV are quite slim for this profile but we would like to try as I would like to go visit and it would be a nice little vacation for both of us (I don't really want to travel alone). Of course, I know each application is different but I've seen unusual cases with rejections before get accepted so, I'm kind of motivated. Especially, since we don't have plans to move in the near future (in which case I will be applying for family class sponsorship) and I do genuinely miss the country.

I have a few questions regarding the application:
1) Should we attach the flight tickets for both of us or just his? (I know the flight tickets don't mean anything but whatever would help)

2) For the US rejection declaration, there is a box to explain the rejection once you answer yes to the question, so should we just copy what is said in the rejection letter received (it's the generic letter about not enough ties or proof that you would return home) or do we scan it and upload it? If so, which slot should we upload it in?

3) As for relatives with a status in Canada, he answered yes to the question based on our marriage and mentioned spouse. However, I also have relatives in Canada. My uncle lives there and my dad owns property under his name (he works outside the country though). Do we have to mention my relatives in the "Name, address, and relationship of any persons or institutions I will visit" or should we just stick to the hotels we will be visiting? We don't want to run any risk of a misrepresentation for not mentioning information or does this not really count as misrepresentation because they are my relatives and not his?

4)This is a technical question regarding the IMM5645e form where you upload your family information. There is a part where you have to sign if you don't have any children but when you click on the space provided to sign, you can't type anything or even paste an electronic signature. Any idea how to solve this issue? We use Acrobat Reader to fill up the forms.

Sorry for the lengthy post, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

Do have a look at this link and the other cases referenced in the link. You could get some pointers for your husband's application. You could then post the new list of documents if you need advice:

Great. @Bryanna Thank you for this information. I have another question pertaining to filling out the forms. I looked through the forum and found my answer to question 4. However, I'm facing another issue in the main form (IMM5257e) where you're asked two questions about entering the country using a Taiwanese passport or Israeli passport and you can't select yes or no. Have you ever come across this issue?

Great. @Bryanna However, I'm facing another issue in the main form (IMM5257e) where you're asked two questions about entering the country using a Taiwanese passport or Israeli passport and you can't select yes or no. Have you ever come across this issue?

Holders of national Israeli passports or Taiwanese passports issued by the government are eligible to apply for eTAs. Your husband cannot apply for a TRV.

The eTA will be linked to the passport stated in your husband's eTA application. He must use the same passport to enter/exit Canada

Sorry for the confusion. He has neither. We have to select no on those two questions. But the option is unselectable for both questions on the form is what I meant.

Not sure why you have those questions

Not sure why you have those questions

It's under Passport section in the application form. I figured if you pick any of those two countries, the yes/no becomes available for checking. Any other country, the yes/no boxes become blocked from marking. So I guess, it's redundant to them to say no to the question when you have already picked another country, I was just confused because there is an asterisk beside these questions so I thought it is mandatory to answer them.

No need to overthink this. Just answer the application honestly and it will only validate when you fill it out correctly (it will not validate if you missed any required questions). If it a question grays out because you answered the other a certain way, it means you are not required to answer it.

Thank you. I'm so stressed. LOL

Sorry for the spam, guys. We're finalizing the application these days, so some questions pop up. While preparing the itinerary for day to day sightseeing, do the expenses mentioned have to be for two people (since we mentioned we're both traveling together) or only for the applicant? Keep in mind I mentioned that I financially depend on my husband.

Expenses for the applicant. Nonetheless, your husband must prove he can afford the expenses/airfare/hotel for 2 persons
