Why are you going, how long, where are you from, who are you visiting? Yes, as far as I know this is called 'dual intent'. However it does make it harder to get a TRV as your ties to Canada may be stronger than your ties to your home country. You will need to demonstrate both exceptionally...

Yeah it's a total bloody mess. I got Final Decision: Your application was approved, please send passport and a day later rows added about 'we are assessing your eligibility' and 'we are assessing your additional documents (I didn't send any). Fairly nerve wracking.

Yeah, was not a pleasant surprise. We got the 'submit passport' message along with something saying our application was approved as well as the barcoded submit passport form. Then I see all the other stuff suddenly added...and I didn't even submit additional documents, so no idea why they...

Yes we submitted today. Just weird that eligibility and docs are now being 'reviewed' despite it telling me that I was approved. Big fright earlier.

Weird updates today, looks like some new rows were added to my page on the CIC. I did not get any emails or anything. Last time I checked (June 6th) it said Final decision: Application was approved. You need to send us your valid passport to finalize your application. Check your messages below...

If you don't mind me asking: - What country are you applying from? - Does she have a job in your home country? 16 months is a long time.

Due to India being one of the notoriously hard countries to get a visitor visa in, I think you would be better off going for spousal sponsorship. I think Quebec is especially hard. You could try, but she would need extremely strong proofs to ties to your home country as it is likely that...

Ah, India is one of the big red flags. I think that Canada is worried about Indian nationals overstaying. Did you submit all financial documents, proof of income etc.?

A lawyer honestly doesn't seem to help much, it just helps to reduce the likelihood of you making a procedural error. I am confused. Did you apply for your entire family to go? That is probably going to be a massive red flag as it looks like you could be planning to visit and not leave.

I am no expert, just someone who has recently gone through this process and done a lot of research as I've proceeded. A few questions: - What was the stated reason of your visit? - Are you travelling alone? - How long did you apply for? - Are you currently employed? - What country are you from...

Wait, you were denied after having passport requested? That is very strange.

So after myself and my girlfriend were pleasantly surprised by the approval of our TRV (passport submission only thing remaining, fingers crossed!) we have started weighing our options as towards getting married while I am visiting her in Canada. I will be visiting her for around 6 weeks in...

Yeah. I have a feeling that my travel history and plane ticket purchase as well as itinerary helped. Fortunately the documents were mostly self explanatory.

Applying from Japan (foreign resident). May 26th - Submitted Application. May 27th - Application Confirmed. May 28th - Final Decision: "Your application is in progress. We will contact you when a final decision has been made". June 1st - Ghost update email. June 2nd - Ghost update email. June...

An update: I applied with my bank account details, my pay slips and the majority of my other information in Japanese. My TRV reads approved today and I got a passport request. While I would definitely recommend anyone in a similar position looks into this independently, it does seem that if...

Update: TRV approved, they need passport now.

Updating this in case anyone else is looking for a solution to this. Do not panic. The 'processing' will time out in 2 hours or so and you can redo it.

Hey sorry to create a new thread but this is a very different question. When I made my GCKEY account to do my application I must have autofilled something without noticing and gave myself a completely wrong last name. Everything in my application is consistent however with my correct name. The...

Thanks. Yeah sorry, every forum seems to have it's own protocol - previously I got chewed out for not making a different topic for each question on a support forum. I am still a little confused. The Canada website says that if I am submitting documents they need to be in English, French or...

I am currently applying for a TRV from within Japan, as a South African citizen. However... I will be leaving Japan in 2 months time. If the TRV is still being processed at that time, what happens? Can I notify them of my new mailing address?
