You posted it on DTV forum so I assume you have a DTV visa which means you get 180 days at the airport, which means all you have to do is go to Vietnam or Cambodia for a week or whatever and come back and get another 180 days, you still have to do 90 day reporting In Thailand I’m told, you can do it online after the first time
that’s really sad, the consulate in Vancouver accepts phone calls no problem, they even called me two times to discuss my application, they were wonderful to deal with
my company is not registered, it doesn’t have to be, I’m a sole proprietor, I don’t even have to have a business license, all I have to do is submit my income every year to revenue Canada, I provided letters at different times stating all of these facts, two different bank statements, one showing my business activities as a sole proprietor, and one of my personal bank account, both have lots of money, in the end I switched categories to soft power and was approved the next day
You are lucky I own my own business, and I wrote my own letter as well, they kept requesting documents, telling me what they needed, I kept giving it to the consulate, but in the end, they did not approve me, they allowed me to switch categories to soft power, I got a letter from my dentist In Thailand on letterhead with a signature, I was approved the next day and my wife the day after
