I did it myself for both my GF (now married) and her niece. Both now have 10 year multi-entry visas. It's not difficult if the applicant has good credentials (formal employment, home ownership, travel history etc). The "visa agent" business is unregulated and full of dubious characters, I wouldn't waste money on them.

Good luck ,very difficult to get unless she has an above avg career , owns a house in her name or something substantial ties to Thailand, children won't do it .

My wife , tried the visitor visa and it was denied but agents told us we had a good chance ..it was a money grab , they knew she wouldn't get it and she had a okay career but not high paying , she has money but it didnt matter and she had a child who wasn't coming . Canadian embassy in Thailand will decide if she gets a visa ,not Canada and typically they don't allow it .

Its easier if you're married , my wife now has a PR and next yr will get her citizenship

Agents can only help you get the application past VFS Global who do the vetting for most visa applications (certainly UK,Australia and probably Canada) after VFS agents have no influence.

It sounds like an agent only form. Photos would help.

I'd find an agent that has the form for Canada!! It's also likely that if you search online you'll find a Canadian form that you can download.

I wouldn’t trust that form. Canada has its own set of rules to bring a Thai to our country.

I do know that’s it a PITA to get a Thai to Canada. She’s going to need a lot of proof to show she will return to Thailand. I suggest you go to the Canadian immigration portal and start from there. Even ask Chatgtp. That will get you started. Good luck to you!!
