Invitation - Visitor Visa

May 24, 2022

Last year, I was invited by my ex-bf to visit Canada, he sent me an invitation to visit him in Alberta. I applied for TRV and I got refused. Reason: Home ties, Financial, Limited Employment prospect and employment situation.

I am planning to re-apply for tourism in Toronto, I will address the rejections and will provide documents about my upcoming application.

My question is, do I need to mention on my letter that I was previously invited by my ex bf?

IRCC has access to your original application. For this reason I think it would make sense to mention that you are no longer with your ex and are traveling to Canada on your own for tourism purposes (so that they don't think you are still with him but trying to hide the relationship).

Thanks! I will include that on my letter.

IRCC consider your Current situation for Approving/Rejecting Application . so if you fixed the all the issue which was reason for your earlier application rejection , You are good.

In main TRV form anyway you are mentioning Have you ever been rejected as YES and providing your earlier application #

The invitation letter (New) is signed by not your Ex BF so IRCC will know this by self , person is different.
so in summary , it is not necessary to mentioned that by whom you was invited in past , but if you explain that , then also it is not going to make a difference in decision

Good Luck

Thanks for this. In my new application, I will not include any invitation letter as I will fund myself and go in Toronto for tourism for a week.

I am thinking twice if there’s a need for me to mention my ex bf with my new application or not, since he gave me an invitation before. Coz Im also thinking if IRCC will call him for verification - like checking if we’re really not together anymore.

Yes you are correct by saying "Invitation letter" is not a mandatory document But it gives confidence to IRCC caseworker for below
- It validates the reason for the visa application.
- It assures the Canadian immigration authorities that the applicant has a place to stay during their visit.
- It shows the applicant has financial and social support while in Canada

But having said that , Once you are showing enough Liquid Fund for 1 week, Tie up to your home Country (Caseworker convinced you will back to your home country) You should be all Good

Good Luck

Hi. I have applied to visit my bf too. I was wondering if you could tell me what documents you included in your previous application please? Did you have documents to support the reasons they listed for refusal?

He sent me an invitation, PR card and passport. - did he send you an invite too?
- With my previous application, provided my bank statement, Employment letter and even a letter from my manager that I will be on vacation and return to work on a given date, pay stubs and income tax.

Thanks, I appreciate your insight about this. I would be very glad if IRCC won't look at my previous application.

I applied using the GCKEY before and on the IMM5257 form there was a portion being asked "person to visit in Canada" and I put my ex bf there.

Now I am using the new portal, and there is no question something like that.
