Inviting someone (Caribbean)

[Hummingbird89]

Howdy guys!

I'd like to invite someone to Canada from a Caribbean Island who has two children and a common-law spouse. This person's current job is remote in nature. What's the likelihood of rejection for a tourist visa? The rest of the family won't be accompanying and she owns her own home. Her savings aren't great but I can be a sponsor for her financially.

A TRV is quite tricky
Anyone over 18 has to
1. Show their own funds - even if someone else is sponsoring
2. Have strong home ties - In this case can be kids but is there any on going employment ?
3. Show that purpose of visit is temporary - What are the odds that this person will not stay back and convert vv to a work visa thereafter?

it is 50-50 always with a TRV

I'm not sure this is enough details for any of us to really comment.

- The fact this individual's spouse and children are not accompanying will be a plus.
- Having a job will be a plus, especially if it's with a large / recognized company.
- The fact they cannot sponsor the trip entirely on their own is a minus. They really should be able to show a bank balance on their own that covers the entire trip. You can certainly act as a sponsor. How much weight IRCC will give this will depend on your relationship / how you are related. But again, still a negative that they cannot cover all of the costs themselves.
- You haven't indicated which country they are from or if they have a travel history to countries requiring visas.
- You haven't indicated the purpose or length of their trip.
- You haven't indicated what other ties they have such as property, etc.

I have in fact mentioned their property. Her purpose is a visit. She is Jamaican and has never attempted to come to Canada previously. She has, however, a tourist visa rejection from the US in her background.

Sorry, I missed the bit about the house.

The US tourist visa rejection will work against her. Make sure she declares this in her application for the TRV.

If possible, I would hold off applying until she can show she has the full funds to pay for the costs of the trip herself. I would also recommend keeping the duration of the requested visit to 2-3 weeks.

We have the same reasoning.
