Get an invitation. Preferably from an organization inviting you to a conference, congress or something of the sort.
I have a friend in Hefei who might be able to help you out. Here's his e-mail:
--
He knows Chinese. He is Chinese. And helping people to go abroad is part of his business. And his name is Liu Jianguo. I hope he can help.
Good luck.

Why wouldn't they let her in? And was it Canada or China that refused the visa?

If you're a Chinese person wanting to come to canada, giving you your Chinese passport is the Chinese government's responsibility, but giving you your visa is the Canadian government's.
So if the issue is that someone refused to give a visa to go to Canada, then that person must be representing the Canadian government.

What possible reason would they have for refusing?

My guess is politics.
Perhaps the government has some quotas. If it has to do with immigration, then I'm sure quotas are involved. Otherwise, if it has to do with work, study, tourist or some other visa, then it could have to do with suspicions (Does she intend to stay afterwards? Does she have the funds to return home afterwards? Why does she want to come to Canada? etc.) What you must realise is that when it comes to Immigration Canada, you're not a human, you're a number. You're filling a quota, an objective, some strategy, economic or otherwise, etc. And that's all you are.
Don't you just love life?

That could be your reason.

Yes, she needs to get rich. visitors will be turned away if they dont have enough income, because it is believed that if they're poor they wont have anything to go back to.

Thanks,
I tried emailing that guy.... we'll see if he can help.
I told a lawyer that I would get my grandma to inviter her girlfriend. This is because the invitor should state that they will support the visitor if the visitor needs $ and my grandma has enough $ for this. The lawyer told me the only thing he could help with was an invitation letter. And that costs $100.
Canada has to be careful how many people it lets in and it doesn't give out visas easy because nobody can be sure if the person coming to Canada is going to go back to their original country. As soon as someone sets foot in Canada they have all the rights of Canadians... so if a Chinese person says "don't send me back because in China I won't have my freedom" maybe it's a hassle to send them back........?
being rich would be a good idea too...

Did she have proper docements when she applied. Letter of invitation and bank statements are very important.

We do have tight restrictions on how much money you have to have. The people who put those restrictions in place had forebearers who wouldn't have been able to pay, but their snotty now that they got rich.

A single girl (you didn't mention her ager) from The People's Republic of China travelling to Canada by herself does so for only about three legitimate reasons. They are: She will be attending school, or she has legitimate business Concerns in Canada, or she will later meet up with a Chinese sponsored tour group.
Any young single Chinese woman applying for a visa, unless her daddy is a rich man with the right contacts, will immediately raise the eyebrows of the Visa section of the Embassy or Consulate where she applies. Even if sponsored by a Canadian, the visa granting officer will assume her real purpose of visiting Canada is one of the following:
Illegal Immigration
Prostitution
Smuggling
Husband Hunting

I could see them considering husband hunting or illegal immigration but I doubt they would assume smuggling or prostitution.
But do the visa people get to make alot of personal judgements anyways? Or do they just file papers and crunch numbers?

The best way is stay in home, without tired, without worry
I think that if you apply it for travel, sure,you are better to find a travell group,it's ok.

hi, my name is Paul. I am canadian and my girlfriend is chinese. we want to get married, and at this time we are debating where would be the best place to do so, here in canada or in china. from what i hear, doing it in china would be the best way since she is having trouble getting her canadian visa at this time. being canadian, i have no trouble getting a chinese visa. it's easier for a chinese woman married to a foreigner to obtain a canadian visa is it not?
any input is much appreciated.
thanks

visas for chinese to come to canada
Dec 7th, 2008
If Chinese people apply for Visa from Beijing or Hong Kong,
the Embassy there needs no reason to deny a visa to them.
China is communist country.They live under different rules
than us.They do not want to lose people...so they keep them
And sometimes...some get lucky and get permission to travel
or study somewhere else and they are very happy,with the permit.
In the west,we do not appreciate our freedoms.China does not
have same freedoms we have.

You could get married in China,but still Canada might not let her in..for a long time.You would have to apply for her to come here.So,the sponsorship papers
need to be done.If you call Embassy or Immigration services they can give you advise.But,some people wait anywhere from 4 months to 3 yrs to get the spouse
to Canada.That can be stressful.
But,I still think,the idea of marrying in China is good.If you could stay there
for 6-12 mos to study etc.It would help and apply right away for the Canadian
papers,at least,you would be together and not seperated from each other.
