Hey, my partner is working currently, and getting a letter from her employer proving approved vacation did the trick i think.

Along with the application, here is a list of all the supporting information we submitted:

1. Cover Letter explaining our intent.
2. Letter from employer granting leave.
3. Income tax returns for past two years for both the principal applicant and the sponsor.
4. Evidence of financial standing for both the principal applicant and the sponsor - pay stubs, bank statements, savings certificates, PF, etc.
5. Tentative flight itinerary.
6. Proof of completion of upfront medical exam (same from the sponsorship application).
7. Police Certificates and Clearances (same from the sponsorship applications).
8. Notarized letter of invitation and sponsorship (declaring full financial support) from sponsor in Canada.
9. Copy of Marriage Certificate to prove relationship to the inviter.
10. Copy of the Sponsorship Approval Letter from our immigration application.


I would encourage everyone to apply for a TRV. Its completely possible to get one. Just make sure you provide enough proof that you will leave canada at the end of your trip and that you have enough financial standing to support your trip(s).

This link should provide you with some additional guidance: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/visitor-visa-grantedwife-of-pr-t273759.0.html

The chances will be virtually zero, since your husband was a failed refugee claimant.
