For the Canadians out there

[calcowboy1]

HI guys,

I have a question for the married Canadian folks out there.  How easy is it to get a visitor visa for a relative of your wife, to come and visit in Canada?

I would like to have my wife's, younger sister (23, single, ouch!!! - for the government that is  come and visit us this summer.  I have heard a few horror stories, however, if anyone has any experience with this, I would be most appreciative.

She has a good career (as a nurse) and still lives at home, however, I suspect the government would view a single, 23year old girl as someone they do not want in the country, even if it is, just to visit her sister.

Thanks guys

Smartass...
A few Canadians just none with a diffinitive answer.
Its my understanding it is next to impossible but who can say, maybe you get lucky & hit them on a good day.

Calcowboy,

If I wasn't engaged, I'd probably sponser your sister in law based on the way you've talked in the past about how good looking and great a person your wife is. Test your luck with the visitor visa and report back!

What the hell is wrong with Canada????

Single 23 year old women should be welcomed!

We all know she will likely have some offers from Canadian Suitors.

Hey guys, thanks for the responses.  I finished up with the invitation today and now just crossing my fingers that she makes it. 

Billy, too bad you are engaged, she is a sweetie and quite the beautiful woman.  Added the bonus of highly educated as a nurse as well as an economics degree, she is quite the catch!!!!.  Any single guys out there????? 

Now the waiting begins

Any single guys out there?????

Cute and educated you say, HHmmmm I suppose I could learn French and apply to the RCMP-Hey Richard can you help a brother out?

[Rvrwind]

Sure Corbett...use me for a reference, LOL.
That will achieve one of two things...They'll either buy you a cold beer or deport you, not sure which, LMFAO.

should be ok, When I was back from Kiev last march, I have heard the conversation between one woman from Kazastan (or something like this)
and a custom officer in Montreal, she knew nobody, has just 1000$ with here and was granted to enter Canada. perhaps if you do a declaration on honor that you will cover her expenses during her stay in Canada, this will help (this is the case with the Schengen visa) .

btw, do you have a photo of her ?
