Subject: My boyfriend doesn't have ties to his country
  My boyfriend would like to come here to visit me but he is only 20 years old and therefore does not really have any ties to his country such as a car, a house, a bank account or even a job that he could get documentation from. His dad owns his own business and my BF works with him there however he does not receive any compensation in a formal manner. In saying this he will not have any proof that he actually works unless his dad writes him a letter stating that he works for him. But then again anyone could write a letter stating that. He doesn´t really have any savings so his parents would pay for the trip. My question is could his parents´ bank statements prove that he will have enough funds for his stay? and how can he prove that he works with his dad if it is his dad´s business? My other question is what else could he possibly use as ties to his country? if he does not own any of the big things they look for and does not go to school? His whole family lives there (mom, dad, brothers)

He has a visitors visa for the US and has traveled there at least 5 times during the past 10 years. He has never overstayed his time there. Could this help convince them that he will not overstay here?

and why is he coming to Canada? that is the other side of the question. if it is to see you - forget it. He will need a very compelling letter of invitiation.

what is his home country?

Ok, he needs a visa to enter the US so more than likely he needs a visa to enter Canada.

The chances of getting a visa under his current situation are VERY slim, almost none.
There is nothing there that proves that he will leave Canada at the end of his visit.

His previous visits to the US are relevant but not really important.

In the odd case that CIC gives him a visa (which I highly doubt). At the port of entry they officer is going to question him about what the purpose of his visit, where is he going to stay, how long is he going to stay in Canada, how much money is he carrying to support your self during his visit, who is he visiting?, how he met these people and what does he do for leaving?

If things don´t sound right, the CBSA officer will cancel his visa and refuse his entry.

He is probably better off, finding a real job, enrolling in an academic course or something because where he stands his chances of being either approved or admitted are very slim to none.

I would say that is very unlikely they will grant him his visa. Too many people come to canada and overstay their welcome so CIC is usually unwilling to take the gamble. You could try but if I would recommend instead going to visit him

I would say it is best for you to take a break from everyday drudgery and go see the guy in his town and hang out there. You get to enjoy him and the new sights, while resting and he gets to enjoy your company and all is well. Simple solution! But will they give you a visa to go there??? or do you need one?
