Ok try 25 girl and beautiful has a desire for gold and jewerly and hates computers, plus a history dating men for money and man who 45 years old, obese, and whose hobby is playing video games and he has a daughter almost her age. 20 year difference. Has met the girl twice and also is going to marry her. Despite she is blacklisted throughout the internet.
Do you think that is love?
How about 28lady and 48 year old man. He is also obese and if you want to hide something from him, just put it behind a bar of soap or bottle of shampoo. She stays in Russia just avoid him. But will ask for jackets, jewerly and trips. BTW he gave a marriage agency 10,000 $ to find this woman.

Good points. But, what about a successful, young, handsome Western guy marrying a Russian Octogenerian grandmother? Surely, that really is true love? |

Then she is leech on the medicare system. I have a friend is a millionaire and had great difficult getting her mother over here to see their new child. I know so many nice people from Russia and they cannot get visas.
I am inviting a friend from Russia who is great lady with a good job, owns her own flat, and has money, but I warned that there is a chance that she will not receive a visa. She ripped into me for an hour stating she is a good person and has done nothing wrong. Like the owner of this site who was refused a visa to the US, I am not sure what to say about this topic. Dmitri is intelligent, honest,successful and entrepreneurial so why they refuse him? But they have others who play the game.
If she or Dmitri wanted to stay in my country, I think that we have to great people to stay and be honoured, than others who visit based on immoral ways.
It is a pity |

Well, I can't see the situation in Canada being any different than in Australia. Australia also has very restrictive visa laws for Russians wishing to visit or live here.
However, I drift off topic. Poor old Coke wants to married, and I talk about visa generalities. |

| Paul, I don't know much about Visa's, but could it be that a person's background could be keeping them from getting a Visa? Was there an arrest or jail time in Russia? |

| Quick answer is no. Eastern Europeans suffer from bad decisions of Immigration in the past. When in1970's USA demanded that USSR release oppressed Jewish people. What USSR did was release criminals also to USA also. |

My fiancee's tourist agency was able to successfully get an Australian VISA to a Russian citizen living in the Chita region, and it was the agency's only application for an Australian VISA. They've never applied for a Canadian visitor VISA before but they keep in contact with Moscow consistently enough to know all the details. I'm hoping that since they were successful in getting an Australian one, that they would bring the same fortune to us.
I'm also hoping that because my fiancee was able to get VISAs to travel to France and Austria a few times already that it would be easier for her to get a Canadian one since she has already established a background of traveling and returning back to Russia.
We heard some stories, prior to traveling to France, that it would be very difficult to obtain and tourist VISA there. I really hope we'll have the same luck for our current situation. |

It is an individual case.
Plus you know if you get married here, that she has to go back and cannot stay. You will have to apply for partner visa when she is in Russia.
I gave you that yahoo group that specialises on this subject. Focus on that than here. This is a travel site, not a marriage site.
Plus I am not that helpful, because after my experience, I have not kept up on this subject and not planning it either. |

Thank you for that, I have a russian fiance, and everyone seems to have nothing but negative things to say about it. I found what you said very reasurring.

You reply to a discussion about it then you are discussing it.

Paul...that was Delta. Not me. Haha.
I have no negative stereotypes...in fact I am engaged to a Russian woman and have met many wonderful people while there and visiting her friends and family.
I do agree a bit about our seeming arbitrary policies on who they allow or don't allow into the country. I've experienced it firsthand with my fiancee not being able to visit me as well. The form letter saying why she couldn't come was very annoying. And then I hear on the news about some guy who snuck back in as a refugee commiting some crime and can't be deported for years because of appeals...well that just sucks two ways. |

Look at the eletion with the Eas Indian who tried to bribe and embarass the Liberal Cabinet Minster had such a rap sheet that he should be expelled to an Indian jail. What about the bribery of Quebec Judges?
There is so many good people that follow the rules. I am hoping that I bring my friends in Canada for a visit. I am already trying to work with an MP to help my cause before the application has been sent. I hoping if I have a history of people coming and going properly, then it will be easier in the future. I have no pity for people who are illegally entering the country (although certain circumstances I understand).
Russia has its own problem with Kazahs and Uzbeks. They estimate that there is 3 million illegals in Moscow. |
