Hi all,

Any ideas on how I can get a visitor visa without having any contacts there? I tried through travel agents, but they refused saying that I'll either have to take my wife and kids along (too expensive for now), or first visit a couple of other countries like Thailand, Dubai, etc. (way too expensive and time consuming) or else i would be refused the visa.

I don't want to travel with some group, as I would like to visit and see the country by myself.

I have 1 or 2 friends there who are not yet citizens. Is an invitation to visit sent by them going to help in any ways?

It's very difficult for you to get visa like you are mentioning. Your travel agent is correct. On blank passport it's very diffcult to get visa for Canada.

But surely there must be a way. Anyone ???

the only way is to apply to embassy and wait

if you are young, or have intentions to settle, the visitor visa will be rejected for sure
