Visit visa to Canada

[Mona Mohamed]

Hello, hope all is well
I am Egyptian, currently work in UAE, and I want to visit my boyfriend in Canada.
I applied 4 months ago and they rejected my application as they mentiond I have poor travel history and than there was no obvious reasons for me to leave Canada !! My boyfriend mentiond that I will be staying with him and that he will sponsor me there during my length of stay.
he came to Dubai to see me, and now I want to try to apply again as I want to go and visit him in Canada ! So any advice for me ! And next time I apply should I mention my boyfriend or it’s better if I don’t ?!
Thank you

You need to address the past reasons for refusal. Travel history can’t be addressed unless you have travel visas to UK, US, NZ or AUS. You need to show your own funds to support a visit to Canada. Show strong ties such as job, investments, property. The issue is that you don’t live in your home country so approval will be a challenge. There are no such thing as sponsorship for a travel visit.

I haven’t been anywhere except to Turkey and UAE
My funds were no issue as they never mentioned a problem related to funds.
they mentioned three reasons for the rejection
1- based on the purpose of your visit.
2-based on your immigration status.
3-based on your travel history.

Purpose of visit refusal reason means IRCC has concerns that you have plans to remain in Canada long term. This often also indicates that your ties to yoru home country are too weak / need to be strengthened.

It is generally harder to get approved if you are living in a country temporarily rather than living in a country where you have citizenship / permanent residency. How long is your visa still valid for?

You can't really do anything about the travel history refusal reason.

My residency visa is valid till 2025 and it’s renewable as my work contract

Order GCMS notes because purpose of visit is a broad term and can mean a few things. If your boyfriend wrote a letter to say he would support your stay then there is concerns that you will not return to UAE since you are not a citizen. Also if he said support, it could mean officers have concerns you can't fund your own visit. His invitation letter may not have helped your application depending what it said and his status in Canada.

Ok, so what are the suggestions for my next application plz ?
should I mention him and let him write me another invitation letter ? Or just apply on my own as a visitor and that’s it ?

Before you do anything, what can you do to strengthen your ties in the resident / home country?

Wait for GCMS notes and address all reasons for refusal. They already know you have a boyfriend in Canada as you included his invitation. Your past application is still on file, You need to show strong ties - job letter, leave. The issue is that you don’t live in your home country so you need to prove that you will return to UAE - job, property, investments, loans. Lack of travel history cannot be overcome.

Hi,
My father's visitor visa is expiring in July 2022 as his passport was expiring in July 2022. I already received the new passport and he is here in Canada with me. I want to understand that can I extend his stay in Canada past July 2022 even though his visitor visa will expire in July 2022. Please let me know. Thank you.

how long my application will last in my file ? And previously I sent them my job offer and also a letter from my work that they don’t mind me traveling to Canada for a certain period of time and that I will be back to my work.
I don’t have property and I don’t take loans

I have no idea,I started taking my driving lisence course, I paid the money in advance for it and didn’t finish yet
I can not rent a place under my name because it’s so expensive in here. So seriously I don’t know what my options are !

Then I suggest you don't apply until you figured out. If you apply now, it just going to waste.
