My wife is going to try to go to the embassy with a friend who has done this before and get an interview and, at least, get some explanation as to what needs to be done or clarify matters! Maybe there is a misunderstanding! The thing is that she has no interest to stay in Canada and I don't...

Well! I think it depends on a whole lot of factors! My wife was denied after 2/3 years of marriage! We have know each other for 5 or 6 years! I think it depends a lot on what is the occupation of the parents! But, I am sure that if she had a house,... it might have been different! She has...

Thanks for the reply! It is hard to know. It seems that these people pick people depending on other factors! I know of a friend from the same country who apparently did not have a lot of money into her account and no problem! Of course, her father was --before he retired-- some dort of...

Pretty amazing considering we had all the documentation that was asked for! 5 grounds: not enough money, length of stay, purpose of visit, employment situation and financial asset! My condo is all paid for and I would have like my wife to visit my parents! Room and board would be provided and...

On that form, it states whether or not a person will be accompanying the visitor. The problem is that the host is already in Canada. So, the host will not "accompany" the visitor from the country of travel to Canada, but will "accompany" the guest in Canada. I think the host should check NO. Right?

Okay, I got a refundable insurance for my wife for a visit of 2 months to Canada (before I retire in her country). The issue is that --as with most insurance I suppose-- they make you pay before, if you get a problem. What if the bill is huge? Does immigration expect the host to cover? How does...

Is it better to go in person to the embassy to deliver the papers by hand or to send them by registered mail? My wife will have to travel 10 hours to get to the embassy (and stay 5 days to wait for the outcome, I believe). This would be her first request!

WOW! Man, that is so sad! Talking about double-whamy! What about letters from the people you saw that would support any other documents (pictures) you/they may have!

Ya! The rich women in Thailand --as usual-- get all the breaks, since they usually have government or official positions that pretty well seals the deal, along with credit cards that most can't even qualify for (for the same reason). Life is soooo tough when one is rich! Makes you sick, doesn't...

Sure will! (I had a Canadian immigration friend look at it and she said it looked okay, but she cannot guarantee anything, of course! We all know it is more or less a crap-shoot: whether or not the officer had a good time the night before or something like that! :)

AHAHAH! How dramatic with the very personal --if not fake-- nature of the letter! :) I mean it probably does the trick! There is nothing wrong with it, of course, but one knows that the "yous" and the "love yous" are all fake (since everyone knows that this is for the custom officer)! I have...

Mmmm! Well! True! Anything can happen! Anyone can walk away from something! What matters though --as far they are concerned-- is the probability that this will take place! What is the probability that this person will walk away considering she has: 1) a well-paying job 2) a car 3) family there...

Thanks very much! Apparently, a friend of a friend was refused when a letter was nto produced, but accepted when he did! She has ties: a car that has a loan of 5 years to which she has been paying 3! She has a long-term rental lease. She has a boss vouching for her with a letter asking her to...

Okay! I checked the French "translation" on the website and they add the word "egalement/also" which changes everything. I have emailed the embassy just to confirm, but I think ones MUST not matter what. I will confirm IF they respond to the email message, that is! :) Incidentally, the...

My wife is coming for a visit for 2 months and the website of where she is applying states this: "LETTER OF INVITATION: All applicants traveling to Canada for business, observation, or for training, must submit an invitation letter from Canada." She is not going to do any business...

On that form it asks employer's name/facility's name/name of company, but in the explanation provided by the governnment it asks to provide one of the 3 elements! Will they return the form if I just provide one of the 3?
