TRV Application

[Curiosity1998]

Hi There!

I am planning on visiting my friend in Canada to be apart of his baby's birthday celebration during my winter break and I am curious of my success acquiring a TRV with my current situation. I am a college student in my home country, I am 21 years old therefore I am not employed I go to school full time and I am a dependent of my mother. I have visited the US in the last 2 months for a college student exchange program for 3 months. I am currently in my final year of studying economics with plans to move onto studying for a master degree in economics at my university.

Visiting a friend for a friend's child's birthday celebration may not be the most compelling reason for travel.

Do you have enough funds to cover your costs and can you demonstrate that? What is your country of citizenship?

I personally cannot as I depend on my mother which is able to as well as my friend in Canada has pledged to cover a few of the cost. The trip wouldn't last more than 4 days. I am from Jamaica

You will have a lot of concerns to overcome - visa applicant from a region with a higher risk for overstay, unable to pay for the full cost of the travel, a short but expensive travel timeframe for a reason that is not solid.

The question the visa officer will have is "Why is this person willing to spend so much money, including other peoples' money, just to travel to Canada for four days? And if Canadians are willing to pay for part of this person's travel, would they provide him a place to live if he chooses to illegally stay in Canada?"
