Is there anyone out there who knows the pros and cons of bringing a Russian lady to Canada? I’ve met a very sincere humorous fun Russian lady and I’d very much like to bring her to Canada without jumping head long into all the governmental bureaucratic red tape cap if you know what I mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated, all the site I’ve come across are very much full of information and could take day and weeks to get through, so I thought I’d ask some of you people.
I'm looking for the same as you. All I can find is about US and UK. Nothing about Canadians/Russians. Can't wait to have more informations regarding that. Let's try to stay in touch. Not even know if it ever happen to a French Quebecer.
I heard that Canada has recently banned Aeroflot from flying in. I don't know Canadian policy, but that news should give you an idea. Speak to an attorney for specific information. Shop around, some will give you a free consultation.
Hello Canadian Friends,
I`m new to the forum but have been a member for awhile.Please keep me informed as well if you come up with any information in regards to Canada and Russian/Ukrainian brides.Thanks.
I'm also from Canada (Quebec)and travelling to Kiev in 11 days. Looking forward to it very much. I would like to take a moment to say a big "Thank you" to all those who have been posting on this forum. Your words of wisdom are very much appreciated and you help make this a better place. I'm sure many of us have been helped by you, even though we don't always take the time to say so. Well done and thanks again.
It is true that information about Canada is hard to find so let's try and help each other out. I have found some information at this site http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/canadaeuropa/ukraine/cometocanada-en.asp#N_1_
F or Quebecers there are links, although they can be difficult to find. Check out this site http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/anglais/immigration/families/step.html
Still getting used to writing on this forum. As I understand so far, you can sponsor your lady as a common law spouse. It's a little tedious and apparently a long process. Look's like about 1 year, but don't take my word for it. This is just my impression from looking at the previous web sites. I'll have more information soon as one of my sister's neighbours recently brought over his wife, and I am looking forward to meeting them before long. If I can get any tips, I will certainly pass them on.
check this Canadian government website

If you toggle your way through the forms, you can get a good understanding. Thanks t49. By the way for David - I'm guessing your from Quebec. As usual we lucky people from QC have two sets of rules to deal with. In looking at the QC web site, I noticed there does seem to be a minimum income requirement appx 35K. Good luck to all. Sure wish this process wasn't so complicated. Wish there was an option to sponsor someone to visit for a while. It seems like this would be logical, as this way the person could find out about life here. Since this would be logical, it probably doesn't exist but if anyone knows anything about this option, please post.
From what I have read it is virtually impossible if not difficult to get any kind of visitation visa for Russian/Ukraine ladies even you intend to marry one. No such thing as a K-1 fiancee visa in Canada. The only way is to sponser them us under a spousal visa. That means you have to marry them in their country or another country, provide the necessary documentation to the Canadian Embassy ( I understand it is best to make the application to the Canadian Embassy in their own country along with all documentation, proof of relationship etc. and medical exam ) Process can take up to a year but recent changes in policy has now supposedly shortend the process from 3 to 6 months. To ensure the shortest time have all offical documentation in order, all paperwork filled out properly and above all do not continually phone to enquire about the status of the application. It helps if your spouse is highly educated and has some kind of degree and can speak English.
In reply to getting a girl to come to Canada, first it is lots of work, do not apply for tourist unless she has 10,000us in her account for over six months, that she has great ties to returned to her country. That if you apply the e,gassy in Moscow will take the money and you get nothing. You must have her application done and have it verified by RCMP and get letters from your local police attesting of her visit and after fly back to pick her up with the application and letter from work. She. Must show mo ey, letter from work, creadit card, letter showing her finances. All translated and not notaries. If you marries her, she must stay in Russia for prox nine months after the application. Show and keep tram of all your email and flight showing you visited her. Once you apply and she is your wife tell her it take 9months. Once in Canada or USA, have a kiss and this will protect her to stay in your country. Get her to apply for citizen ship after 4 year. It is not easy, too mush scam. My girl is looking for me now and on new year I am asking for her hand after two year, wish me luck. She is forty like me. Her parent are very happy, but it is a nightmare of bulcrap.
She will not be allowed to go to your country if you don't get your local goverment involve to assist. Even then. Send letter and ask.
Apolusa,,,, WTF???
1st!! Don't write on 6 and 7 year old threads!! All the previous info is outdated!!
2nd!! Most of what you wrote sounds like bull crap!! But lets let others decide this for themselves!
3rd!! 10,000USD is "HER' account???? And just how will she come up with that much money??? Or should I say;,,,,, who is willing to give her,,, and let her deposit it into her account for safe keeping for six months???
4th!! Get a word processer,,,,, you remind me of someone else from the forum,,,, not good!!!!
almost all of what Apolusa has said has similarity's to the NZ tourist visa for 6 months visit.
its really a no go area for russians wanting to visit NZ and are highly unlikely to get unless they are a very successful persons.
there are other visas where they have a much better chance in getting in.
but for the tourist visa they need-
similar funds Apolusa stated.
the proof of where moneys has come from(one has to show all income and where funds have come from like going for a home mortgage.
they need to show major ties to their country (house, work and children)
police report is needed if you are staying for more then 24 months.
all russian paperwork translated by a proper qualified translation service.
also needed by NZ is health test for TB and such if over 6 months stay.
sounds like madness but it's what they have to put up with, theres actually a lot more to it then stated.
just interesting how similar Canada and New Zealand is..
as in getting a girl to NZ on relationship...
when i started my search one had to show a two year relationship before a visa was issued to her for coming to NZ to live, i dont know if this is still the case today.,
after 4 years(i think) here she can go for citizenship if relationship is good and stable.
i have had friends who have involved local government clowns to help with their visa problems otherwise their relationship was history(because of mongrel immigration officers having a bad or god like day)this usually happens when she changes her visa status from visiting to relationship and trys to stay in country.
it does seem Canada is very similar to New Zealand.
as in funds these people have,,,, my girl is here in a few weeks, she's paying her own why to me "again" with another family member.
why do people think they are so poor??
their out-goings are extremely low compared to our scamming system that seem to come up with new ideas to defund you.
don't go thinking you are surounded by poor people over there or these girls a pennyless.
what do you what in a person? what are you searching for? a useless non-worker who has fantastic hot pantys payed by the last westerner.
you are not saving anyone in that case, you are more then likely been taken.,
First of all I know more then you think. I have a girl friend right now that was rejected a visitor visa twice, so don't tell me I don't know anything. I have lawyers and mpp friend from the local goverment.
Her name is Natalia Sokolova. She did everything right and under article 179 of Canadian immigration the rejected her.
I meet her family and we are getting married but I wanted her to see the country before.
Yes she will never have this kind of money, that is why I must go there and stay with her till she get it.
1- she must have sufficient money to travel regardless if you are paying for it all, it must be in her account 6 month or they will question were
She got it. she is a school teacher in Yoshkar Ola and only make $2.45 hour US sow I must help.
2-she must have sufficient ties to returned to Russia, having family is not enough, she must have land or a business.
Or hone her home. So find something.
3-her history could be in question and reason for her traveling, they must have proof that she will returned.
4-Dont send any money, go pick her up and take her to the embassy and with cash in hand. Have all your papers done translated and
Notarize.
First rule of international marriage, don't send money, go in person meet everyone and be with her when you apply.
You wont get &$@
I know, I have contacted embassy and received a private letter, also I have friend and family wright proof of reason she was going to returned. They don't car, I had the local MPP wright letter and nothing. now the RCMP who I work for is having me go in person with her and apply in person with all the application and money in hand .
I will Let you know how it goes I am going this Xmas. For the third time. I know immigration, it is not USA to Canada it is Russia and Canada they make it almost impossible. You better have money you will need it.
Don't call them they will never pick up and after e-mailing too many time your email will be block. If you love this girl go in person and if she is the right one marry her the application take 9 months to be approve that right, a co worker just married from the same city and it took that long after marriage. You better take a year off work. It is not 6 to 7 year old fact it is now just pass summer and now at xmass.
Canada and immigration there were so much fraud they make it hard.
Apolusa,,, if you ever need to find boys,,, ask danny,, or who we refer to as "DUNT"!!
He travels around the world looking for them!!! True story!!!
My wi fi or my new computer was never broke, it didn't have a phone modem,,, so that makes it rather hard to use dial up. And yes I know,,, they do make a USB adaptor!
I haven't used the dial up since May,,, DUNT!! I now have a mobile hotspot 4G wireless!
I am intentionally waiting,,,,, this is a good test!! If there is fiction involved,, it on the part of that agency in Sumy,,, a "small"?? city!!
It would be nice to talk with her,,,, but since she does not speak English,,,, what should we do on the phone????? Just grunt????
Truth and facts mean nothing to DUNT!!! What do I need to do,,, send you the serial number of my Samsxxg SCH-LC11 Verixxn 4G Mobile Hotspot! Do I need to take a webcam video outside around the house, so you can see there is no McD here?? It's 30km from here!!
"So you can jack yourself of " Oh,, did you mean "off"??? You can't even do that right??!!
Poor DUNT,,,, he's the "Little Engine That Can't"
