On October 30, 2009 Citizenship and Immigration Canada announced, that persons in Canada inviting foreign guests shall provide personal information only voluntarily. In particular, that means that an immigration officer can not request such information as notice of assessment, mortgage and bank statements etc. from the applicant. This issue was clarified to further comply with the Privacy Act. Another important statement is that a TRV application cannot be refused just because the host’s personal information is not provided with the application. |

  Effective July 14, 2009 visitors from Czech Republic and from Mexico need temporary resident visas to enter Canada. In both cases the reason for a restriction is that a number of refugee claimants from these countries soared recently.
Mexico became the number one source country for claims with its 9,400 claimants in 2008, which is 25% of all claims in total. There were more than 3,000 refugees from Czech Republic since October 2007, while only few people sought refugee status in the year of 2006, when TRVs were required to enter Canada. |
