My girlfriend wants to come to Canada for about 3 months. I know the regulations and we tried before but they wouldn't let her in. Anybody know any tricks?
Visitor Visa for a Chinese person
- Thread starter Tai_Te
- Start date
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:
liujian0754_cn@sina.com
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.

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.

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?

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.
RE: Visitor Visa for a Ch
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...

Just one point though, Tai Te. Whatever yu do please keep it legal. For me, it's just a matter of respect for Canada and its laws.

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.

Re: RE: Visitor Visa for a Ch
You got to think like a Canadian Immigration officer to answer the original question about why she was refused a visa.
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

Which would seem to be a pretty bigotted stereotype. But unfortunately, there might be some truth to it. And even more unfortunate is that it then smears those who don't fit into the stereotype. But what to do?

RE: Visitor Visa for a Ch
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?
