终于拿到了加拿大探亲签证，非常感谢签友们一路的陪伴和支持，下面将我在DIY加拿大探亲签证过程中准备的材料清单和签证心得分享给大家，希望对后来的申请者有所帮助。
一、背景
1、邀请人
男，我男人，滑大博士在读，全奖。
2、申请人
女，我本人，山东济南，某高校管理人员。
3、其他
5.6 登记结婚
5.10 某人回加拿大
我们无车，有小房(没房产证，公公的单位房)。
二、申请时间
7.1晚 到北京。
7.2早 到北京签证中心递交材料。
7.5晚 查询护照已被大使馆寄出。
7.6-7.7 在酷暑、惶恐、煎熬、愤怒、无奈和自我安慰中等待所谓的“EMS”。
(ps,奉劝EMS改名为exhausting mail service，根据在线查询，本人的资料出了大使馆的门以后愣是在北京蹲了一天)
7.8早 终于在学校收发室拿到了。
三、准备材料
参考了以往签友的材料模板。申请思路则是结合签友和其他搜索结果的考虑。
1.Check list
主要参考这两个帖子
1)http://visaca.eduwo.com/cansuccess/50482.htm
原因：我和该mm情况极其相似.
2)http://visaca.eduwo.com/cansuccess/50486.htm
原因：同为山东人
我的Check list结合了上述第一个帖子和使馆网页的check list，属于自用，因为签证中心的工作人员抽掉了很多。注意没有资产证明!
