变不可能为可能,申请父母探亲签证心得

签证不是要用中国人的思维去想象外国人,而是要用他们的思维来整理材料。既然是老人来探亲旅游,就要以亲情和乐趣为重,而不是说请他们来加拿大劳动--陪月子,带小孩--这些都太不符合西方人的价值观了。要用自述信,申请信把申请材料联系起来,互相呼应,成为一个整体,扬长避短。这样才能变不可能为可能,顺利拿到签证。

希望对大家有些帮助

恭喜恭喜,谢谢分享!

另:请问下,如果通票,是在哪家银行办?
如果用信用卡划款,可以用我们(人在加拿大)在加拿大用的信用卡划款吗?

谢谢!

谢谢回复!

再请问下,如果邮寄申请资料到香港使馆,是否要把申请人的护照原件也一起寄去,还是只寄护照复印件就可以了?

如果审批完后,香港使馆是否会把签证寄过来,还是要申请人自己要到香港使馆去取签?

谢谢!

楼主的CASE给了我们很多启发。

请问你是否只交了银行的冻结证明(定期的)?没有活期的存折?如有活期的存款是否只递存折原件?

寄护照原件--安全起见,自己印一份留底吧。 批完后护照会帖好visa和大部分材料一起都用挂号信寄回。

父母方面是交了5万的冻结证明,解冻日到申赴加日期的前两天。没有交任何活期存折。如果是活期存折,应该是寄原件,审完后退回。

我提交了我过去6个月的加拿大bank statements.

香港没有办法查度。他在收到材料後发一封信说明收到申请。 然後查银行户口发现扣款。扣款后10天左右就收到VISA了。 因HK承诺是5 business days出结果,所以也没必要查进度吧。

探亲不像移民,没有什么进度可查的

多谢回复,另想再确认一下,我现在人在加拿大,可以用加拿大的Visa信用卡为国内的父母支付探亲申请费给香港使馆吗?如果可以,如何操作?

先谢谢了!

Ofcoz you can. VISA/MASTER/AMEX are international credit cards.

There's a payment form in the application kit, just download it then fill and submit it with all application stuff to HK.

Dear Dad and Mom,

As I mentioned to you several times, I hope you can come here to visit me for the lovely Canadian autumn. I explained to you before, as a Permanent Resident of Canada, I should fulfill the obligation of residence. Moreover, I am working for xxxx as xxxx. According to the employment agreement, I must perform my duty within Canada or the US. Hence, I cannot spend a long vacation in other country including China. As the gas rate going up, it is an absolutely subeconomic deal that flying back to China for several days but paying two very expensive air tickets.

From mid September to early November, it will be a great period to visit Canada. During this period, you do not need to face the well-known Canadian snowstorm, but enjoy a fabulous maple leafs fall which you hardly feel via TV screen. You should come and see! I will take you to Niagara Falls to feel the power of Water God… In a word, I have planed a lot of trips for you to ensure you would have an amazing vacation in Canada. You will not feel lonely or boring during this 2-month period.

The most important thing is, we can get together on the traditional Chinese reunion day―Mid-Autumn Festival. Think about that, what a rememberable moment! In addition, your 3rd brother, Uncle xxxx, wants to meet you in Toronto since he and Auntie cannot travel oversea anymore due to their strengths. I know you two long for meeting each other in the past years.

If you worry about your darling Ralph and Miki, I think Mom's brother Uncle xxx (sb. stated on the family info form) can look after them. Of course I know Ralph is an odd old cat who hates pet sister and relies on Mom very much even refuse to be fed by others. But 2 months leaving is acceptable for Ralph.

As for the living expenses, I will pay for you. Although I am not rich, affording 2-month living expenses for my dearest parents is not a big deal. You can live with me in my 2-bedroom unit. You just need to buy 2 air tickets in China and fly to Toronto, I will pay the living expenses, travel expenses and medical insurance for you.

Dad and Mom, you know I was so sorry that you could not attend my graduation ceremony in xxxx x years ago because grandma passed away suddenly. Thus, I do want to spend more time with you and show you my life in Canada then you may live in China with reassurance. Hope to see you soon!

All the best!

Your daughter,

xxxx

谢谢,保费refund已经收到了!

老爹老妈因为行程未能达成一致,于是赌气说不来了... 所谓容易到手的东西不珍惜就是这样啊! 没有体检,没有面签,就是让他们寄个材料办两个公证,VISA就拿到了,所以他们不觉得难,要是当初让他们折腾一番,花几千块钱,估计就没那么容易说到手的VISA不要了, 唉...
