I know that whether you can support yourself financially while you're in Canada is significant, but I also know that, in my riding at least, there are many people who come in with all the businesses they own, their income tax forms, their bank accounts, the properties they own to show them. They plan to pick up all the costs of the visit, including the medical insurance, the works.
But at the same time as we're looking at the financial side, are we also looking at the reasons for which an individual wants to travel? Even though it's a TRV and we call it tourism, for many of the people it's either to attend funerals, to visit somebody who's dying and to spend last moments with them, or to attend weddings, baptisms, or significant events in one's life. Are those reasons for travel taken into consideration when looking at the granting of visas?
