I want to visit my girl friend in Alberta

[juandiaz3589]

Hey everyone,
I live in India since I am born and never travelled any other country before. last year in 2017 my girl went to alberta for study. I really want to see her in when her 1st semester gets over. she is getting 15 days leave between semester 2. so, I want to go see her and we will do sky dive as well together for the first time. when she was in India we did bungee jump together. so my staying days with her will be about 25 days since I am running my business here. so I wont have much time to stay there.

let me tell you little about my business. I run online marketing business for USA clients since last 5 years. I earn good amount of money. Currently I have 6 employee working for me in office. I can provide the proof of professional tax of employee and company. all papers are good. I have never applied for canada or any other country before. I own my house,car and other assets in India. I have my mother, small brother studying and grand parents. we all live together. So, let me know guys. Do I need invitation letter from my girl friend to visit her or I can just apply like a tourist and see her. I am just worried that I dont want to miss chance to see her. I really miss her and would love to see her

Seems you have good ties to your home country and good funds to present. Just make sure you show everything clearly and accurately. Maybe a stay of 25 days is too long. Ask for 2 weeks and say you have to go back to your business and she has a holiday of 2 weeks so it would would perfectly. if they give you a visa you can always extend your stay afterwards.

Do I need any invitation letter from her?

It will only help if she has some proofs. She can prove she had 15 days off by getting a letter from where she studies, she can show bank statements and living arrangement she has to show she can also support you. But mainly what they are looking for is that you can support yourself completely. You may want to write how long you have known each other in the letter etc

The rest maybe a senior memeber can confirm or help with. But I think you have a strong case as long as you present all of the right documents

You can try but IMO, your red flag is that your work can be done remotely so you can potentially overstay in Canada.

Red flag # 2: Going OTT about your relationship = Potential overstayer

Red flag #3: Not traveled to visa/non-visa countries for short visits before this
