I wish to apply for a visitor visa for my
boyfriend/girlfriend. Is this difficult to obtain?

• That depends on your circumstances. You will
  likely have to send a letter of invitation to
  your boyfriend/girlfriend to indicate that you
  will support this person during his or her stay
  in Canada.

• In the letter you should demonstrate that you
  have the financial wherewithal to support this
  person, and you should enclose supporting
  documents to back up your position.

• Your boyfriend/girlfriend, on the other hand,
  will have to show that he or she has ties to his
  or her home country and that he or she is likely
  to return to his or her country before the
  expiration of the Canadian visa.

• Your boyfriend/girlfriend will likely have to
  show that he or she has some degree of financial
  stability and gainful employment in his or her
  home country.

• It is also helpful to show that he or she has a
  history of travelling internationally. Sometimes
  applications are refused because the applicant
  has a passport without any stamps.

• Financial stability can be shown through bank
  statements and documents proving ownership of
  property.

• A letter from an employer can help to
  demonstrate that the person has gainful
  employment and is simply taking a vacation.
