Bunac/Flights etc
My SIL is coming over next month on a BUNAC visa, and the inlaws will be coming over at the same time for a 2 week holiday.
Oringally, they thought they could all come over on Canadian Affair, but BUNAC requires that she has an open return. The rest of them will still come over with Canadian Affair, but what are the SIL's options? Does she have to go through someone else? Thanks |

There is no requirement for her to have an open return, just a return ticket. When I came over I booked a return for 8 months later which I didn't use (as applying for PR) As long as she has a return flight at some point next year (and insurance to cover the entire period) she will be fine.
(Obviously, she wont use it, but just looking at the cheapest option...) |

Thanks. So could she have a return that's dated, say, 2 weeks after arrival?

Having said that I flew into Pearson's international on a slow Tuesday, the immigration guy was singing 'eye of the tiger,' didn't ask me any questions about funds or anything, just stamped my forms, gave them back and said have a good year! Maybe someone else will come along with more experience from the timing issue. I have heard of people not even activating their bunac visas straight away, if you guys are near a border she could just fly over on the visa waiver program then activate her visa at the border. Again, having no personal experience of this I couldn't tell you if they are nice about it. |
