HELP!! Good Evidence to Show VO that sponsor will return to Canada..

[raniloc]

Guys i need your help..... The visa officer called my sponsor (Filipino-Canadian) and asking for a hard evidence that he will return to Canada once the PR visa is approve. My sponsor and I have been living together here in the Philippines for more than 4 years now (going 5years). He left Canada in 2006 and hasn't return since. Our original plan is to leave my country together once the Visa is approve. I guess this is not possible now since the VO wants my sponsor to go ahead before me. The Visa Officer (VO) have given us 30 days to submit the additional evidence.

Unfortunately, my sponsor cannot return to Canada as his passport expired last September and worse he lost his citizenship card for him to be able to renew his passport. He already sent an application for the replacement of his citizenship last August but I think it will be too late if we will wait for his new passport. So we're planning to request a "limited validity passport" but we're not sure how to apply for this.

Anyone here knows how to apply for this passport? Appreciate the help..

For the evidence being requested by the visa officer, assuming my sponsor can get a limited validity passport, we're thinking of submitting a return plane ticket of my sponsor including his flight itinerary but we're worrying if this is enough to convince the visa officer.

Do you have any other evidence that you can suggest?

In my opinion you'll need far stronger evidence than a flight itinerary. I've seen others include the following:

- evidence of property ownership in Canada
- evidence of property rental/lease in Canada
- evidence that you are working with a real estate agent to find a rental property or home to buy
- evidence of a business in Canada
- proof of a job waiting for you in Canada
- proof that you are working with an agency in Canada to secure a job
- proof that you have applied to jobs in Canada and/or attended interviews
- proof of bank accounts and other assets in Canada
- write up of plans to settle in Canada
- evidence of course / school enrolment in Canada

Hopefully others will jump in and provide more examples.

Thanks for this infos.. I guess my sponsor should start seeking a job online while he's still here... Or prepare a place to stay by contacting our friends in Canada to look for a place to rent..
