He will likely be refused unless he has extremely strong ties to his home country. Given that he only recently moved home and his wife is in Canada his chances are very low to get TRV. Would strongly encourage you to get a new job so you can say you are employed on your application.

If you are thinking of having him come in on a TRV and then sponsor him, you cannot as long as you are on EI.

i already sponsored him n yes i was on EI when i sponsored him ..i called cic n they said that was okay as long as im not on welfare..I had to quit my job when i went back home for the wedding n i will most likely have a job in a month m going thru the process with this government job n it just takes time with them

You're right, my apologies, EI is not social assistance.

If you've already applied to sponsor him, a tourist visa will be next to impossible.

So you're saying your other friend received a job in Canada and then applied for a tourist visa? No, that didn't happen that way.

Okay, that doesn't really change anything. Each visa case is different, sometimes people demonstrate ties to their home country appropriately. In your friend's case, his wife may have had sufficient ties to her home country to not pose and overstay risk.

That's what you have to do - provide enough proof that you won't overstay.
