Tourist visa for Burmese to visit Canada?

Chinese getting a tourist visa to visit Canada?

• Hi, How do Chinese children (ages 7-14) get tourist visas to visit Canada??? I teach English at an international private school here and recently took some of my students to Canada with me for 3 weeks (they had Hong Kong passports so visas were no issue at all). Well their English improved quite a bit and they had a fantastic time, so other parents at the school asked if I would take their children to Canada for the winter as well. Except these children held Mainland China passports. We knew getting them a visa would be difficult so we contact an agent to help us. The parents of the children are very wealthy and were able to provide house ownership papers, school registration forms for the children to prove they were still in school...as well as financial statements. On my side, I wrote an invitation letter inviting them (following the proper guidelines) and also forms proving I was a Canadian citizen. Anyways, we had all the application forms filled out properly and everything seemed to be in order. It's been two weeks since we sent the application forms for the kids and just found out they were rejected. The reason being they couldn't prove they weren't going to stay and settle down in Canada. There is huge potential for me to make this a business with the school, having them send their students to Canada with me as a sort of 'camp/English experience' but if we don't get past the visa issue,there will be no trip. What are some other options of getting them a visa? What can i do? Please don't send me a link to the Canadian Immigration application forum page, been there done that.

• Answer:

  You just have to keep applying through proper channels and be patient. Bear in mind that Canada has enough problems already with their immigrant Chinese, so they are quite wary of taking in any more of them that might decide to hide out among local gangs. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_7_17/ai_72328620/ http://www.rcmpwatch.com/asian-organized-crime-thriving-in-canada/ http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Asian_Criminal_and_Terrorist_Activity_in_Canada/asian Good luck to you!
