Hello All:
Recently, my wife (who lives in the Philippines) and I (who am born and live in Canada) hired a consultant to apply for a 6 month visitor visa for my wife to come visit me in Canada. Although we do plan to go through the spousal sponsorship application process we are still waiting for paperwork before we can apply for that program, my wife visited her Sister in Germany for a year and also worked in Saudi Arabia for 3 years (both times she left the philippines she returned when she was supposed to) so we are waiting for Police Good Conduct certificates from those countries. If your PR application is not complete it will be rejected out of hand.
In our application for a visitor visa, I submitted a notarized affidavit of financial support, a letter from my employer confirming my longterm employment and salary paid etc, my bank account records... as well as a letter to the Canadian Embassy (visa issuing division) imploring them to understand that my wife will return to Manila at the end of the 6 months as we do not want anything to affect our sponsorhip application later.
Now everything I have read recently indicates that our effort here is doomed, so my question is...Are there any Philippine Nationals who have successfully received a visitor visa to visit your spouse in Canada? I just don't know if we can suffer a disappointment by having this rejected, we miss each other so very much.
