Visitor visa for Canadian PR

01-06-2004, 10:42 PM

My wife recently landed as a permanent resident in Canada. She's a
citizen of Indonesia, and I am a Canadian citizen.

We hope to do some travelling in the USA this coming May, and I have
been researching her visa requirements. I understand that she must
demonstrate that she'll be returning to Canada.

Unfortunately, we live with my parents, I am a student, and she is not
working. So the only tie I can think of is me, and the fact that she
just recently immigrated to a first world country.

Can anybody suggest anything else we might add to our application? Any
ideas on our chances of success?

If she still an Indonesian citizen, then maybe she should contact an
Indonesian embassy or consulate in Canada for a consultation on how to
travel from Canada to the USoA?

As for improving your chance of success.

Why not the two of you get temporary jobs in the USoA? I heard that
the USoA give good Visa for foreigners provided that they have jobs in
the USoA.

Then also, maybe a letter of guarrante from both your parents and your
educational institute to guarrante you and then a letter of guarrante
from you to guarrante your wife might also improve your chance of
success. Then bank account records and many other stuff. Well... At
least that's the stuff the Japanese imigration asked for an Indonesian
to travel to Japan.

Below is what is an information about Indonesian in Indonesia applying
for an USoA Visa:

I think the fact that you two are married will go a long way to help with
her visa. Just go for it and give it a try.
