    Posted: 09 Jan 2010 at 1:15pm
Hello guys,
 
I have an application for permanent residence undergoing for my wife; however, our visa office is Bogota which is taking a little more than a year to finish the process. In the mean while I would like my wife to visit me in Canada but the visitor visa application has been refused twice.
 
Has anyone had a similar experience with a final succesful visitor approval, any advice to see if there is any way or further steps to get a visitor visa approved?
 
Any help I'd appreciate it!

1. Not much of a chance, as with the sponsorship application for your wife, Bogota's attitude is that it is her intention to remain permanently, so that is why they won't issue a TRV.

You may re-apply for her visit visa if you have supporting evidences that she will return back after the visit, evidneces such as: permanent job, assets, family commitments (kids, parents to take care of).
 
You may have her check with the Canadian Embassy in your home country for options on how to re-apply.
 
Good Luck

One can always re-apply but if the circumstances of the applicant has not changed or the rejection points had not been addressed, chances are the applicant will receive another refusal.

to the OP: have you explored dual intent?

When I asked the girl at the front desk about this and told her how I got my Colombia papers in half a day and my cedula 2 days later she said,"Colombia is a welcoming country.  Canada has different values."  She was pleasantly honest.

I've heard of a 2% rule.  If your in the top 2% of wealthy people, you can get the visitor visa.  That is a lot of wealth in Colombia.
No problem is so formidable that you can't walk away from it.

Ditto the "not likely" responses. Unfortunately.
Canadian needs to visit the Colombian.
Otherwise, it is all about waiting. Good luck.
Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.
