Alternative for a China Citizen to visit Vancouver

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello everyone!

I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm from Vancouver, BC
and a really close friend of mine is from China and she wants to come
visit me for a month in the Summer and I already have an idea of how
hard it is for the Canadian government to grant a visitor visa for her.
What would be the best way or the easiest way for the government to
grant a visa? She told me that, a 19yo girl applying for a visitor visa
ALONE, would be a 90% "NO", so is there a way to sway that percentage in
my favor some how?

A bit of information: She decided to apply
for 1 month of school in the Summer at either Vancouver or Seattle. The
Seattle schedule just came out in China and it's about $100 000 RMB
deposit and $40 000 RMB for a 25day stay in Seattle/LA/NYC, which is
perfectly fine. We're assuming Canada has roughly the same schedule and
price, so that's fine in terms of finances. The only downside to her
applying for the school route for the month is that out of the 15
days/25 days in Seattle, 6 are already planned with the group and 3-5
are with their home-stay, so that leaves me with a few days..or just a
few hours of seeing her...which sucks because she pretty much wants me
to show her around and hang out with me instead of random people and I
only get to see her once a year 

Is
there a way for me to apply to be a home-stay and select her to come
live with me for the 25days(if she applies for the Vancouver school
route) or will it be totally random? Or is there a way I can put a chunk
of money for a deposit, so in case she "runs away" the Canadian
government can take it? 

Is there a better alternative that I don't know about or haven't done yet?

What do you guys and girls think? Am I getting some information wrong?

I definitely appreciate ALL your comments, input and help! Thank You!
