    Is it mandatory for visitors to Canada to have travel medical insurance?

    Being a visitor to any country in the world you should have travel insurance. When my girlfriend came to Canada I purchased her travel insurance before her arrival to Canada. The travel insurance is not very expensive. It is probably a good idea to have when they come to the port of entry.

    Has anyone got a letter of support from Chris Alexander office?

    I got a letter from my MP for our second attempt for my girlfriends visitor visa (she was refused on her first application). With the letter she was approved, however I don't know how much it actually impacted her application. But interestingly enough, the letter from my MP was mentioned in the...

    TRV for filipina gf living in Taiwan

    It is more beneficial to be honest in your application. In her case, you should be completely honest. If she has a stable job, and can prove strong ties to her country it will increase her chances of being issued a visitor visa. Focus on why she needs to return to her country after her stay.

    Changing status from visitor to study

    I agree with everyone else. You didn't do anything illegal, but you clearly had intentions of staying longer than your visitor visa would allow. If you were really just here for a vacation/visit, then finding a college would be the last thing on your mind.... I have liked many countries that I...

    My girlfriend traveled to Canada last month, and she does not speak English as well. She was a first time traveler as well. I prepared a letter for her.

    GCMS Notes Clarification

    Thank you for your reply! Ya that makes sense! Also, what did the VO mean by: "Will issue short-term MEV to establish travel record". Does it mean it will be easier for my girlfriend to get a visitor visa if she applies in the future?

    GCMS Notes Clarification

    Good Evening, My girlfriend received her visitor visa in June. She came to Canada for two weeks in July/ August. She is now back in her country.

    Mexican Girlfriend

    There is no guarantee, but if you have nothing to hide and her intentions are to visit Canada only then you shouldn't worry about it too much. I was stressing too over this with my girlfriend, but as she is a genuine visitor and she has nothing to hide. Look at these websites. They are pretty...

    Mexican Girlfriend

    I think it is important that she tells the truth. If they found out that she has lied to try get entry into Canada she is definitely in big troubles, and she can expect being denied entry. It is not illegal to have a girlfriend/boyfriend in Canada. As longest she can demonstrate she is only here...

    Visitor Visa- No Stamp on entry was given

    But why would a visitor stay that long in Canada? I don't know many jobs that would grant a three month vacation. A three month visit is too long. Just think about it from the eyes of a border officer. "This person is visiting their SO, and is asking for three months in Canada on a visitor...

    Visitor Visa- No Stamp on entry was given

    I don't think the probability of being denied entry is high if a person have had a visitor visa granted with good intentions. Canada Immigration are aware that people who are in long distance relationship want to see one another, and no one can be denied entry just because they are in a...

    Visitor Visa Approved for Girlfriend

    Thanks! Yes I figure that given her circumstances and everything it would be real tough for her to get a visitor visa. Given that she has no travel history, and not much money at all. But I thought from the beginning that we could pull off a strong application, and overcome these concerns. It...

    Visitor Visa Approved for Girlfriend

    I can't describe how happy I am right now. After doing a bunch of research after our first application was rejected in December, we tried again two weeks ago. Today she got the visa stamp in her passport! Everyone I talked to said it was practically impossible, as she is 20 years old, a...

    Thanks for your reply! Sure I should have specified. My family know my girlfriend already. This might sounds weird but she is my cousins step sister (by blood we are not related), so my parents have meet her previously.
