Proving wanting to return

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

I have a question about a TRV, Visit Visa for my girlfriend. We want her
to come visit during her vacation, I have sent an invitation letter
saying that I am inviting her temporarily. She has a job, but shes from
Brazil so it does not pay astronomically (compared to Canadian standards). She will return, but what can
we do to PROVE to immigration Canada that she will return. I have tried to call the embassy in Brazil but can never get to a real live person. 

I had an idea, would an
affidavit from her stating that she will return after her trip help?

Thanks for any ideas.

	- letter from employer - pay slip - bank statement - mortgage or rental agreement - other documents showing property ownership - car ownership/rental documentation - class enrollment & evidence of tuition paid (if she is still in school part time) - any other documents showing strong ties to Brazil

	Thanks, yes I understand all these points. My question tho was whether anyone thought that her doing an affidavit stating that she would come back could help? Has this been done...Thanks!

	Such an affidavit is self-serving, and thus probably not all that influential. scylla identified things that will undoubtedly have far greater weight than such an affidavit. Unfortunately, your gf probably has little control over most of the actual, practical considerations that will make the difference. Discrimination in favor of affluence permeates such things. The way the world is unfortunately. I'd suggest, like the hypocritical bougeois harboring delusions of intellectualism I have long been, long live the Marxists, but people would just laugh or shrug or wonder what da . . .
	Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions. BTW: Not an expert, not a Can. lawyer, never worked in immigration
