Order GCMS notes. Why were you coming to Canada? How long? Funds? Is Egypt your country of citzenship?

 

[sameh.hanna]

So order GCMS notes. What did you show to return - spouse/child, job letter with approved leave, businesses, income property etc.? How much in funds did you show? What was your planned itinerary?

There is some detail missing here. Did you mention your travel plan? What did you have in egypt to return to?

Yeah i have wife and 2 children and I submitted family registration certificate

 

[Naturgrl]

Yeah i have wife and 2 children and I submitted family registration certificate

So why were you coming for 8 days without family? What was your itinerary?

Can I re-apply again and reduce the days ? Aldo can I add my wife who hasn't US visa

You know that Niagara Falls is in the US as well? Just as easy to visit from the US side as it is the Canadian side.

Coming to Canada for 8 days without your wife or even kids is highly suspicious to the officer in charge.

Why come all the way to Canada for only 8 days? Niagara Falls is one-two days. Coming without spouse and children is strange. Get GCMS note and reapply to address reasons. You can add spouse but she will need to show ties to return, travel history, funds and valid reasons to travel.

You can try that. I will say retrive your GCMS notes.

One major concern they might raise is your income and the expense of 8 day trip to Niagra falls in the middle of the tourist season. I just visited Niagra falls (few days back) and for 4 days my expenses were about 3-4K (granted I stayed in a costly hotel due to certain situations). An 8 day trip to Niagra falls and toronto will be substantial expense when compared to typical salaries earned in egypt, even in well paying sectors like software development.

Not saying you can not and should not make such expenses, typically it looks suspicious for a person to take 8 days vacation alone in a costly place like Niagra falls. It raises suspicion if you want to return or overstay and work with authorization.

The way around is to show funds and income proof. Since you have US visa, it might make sense if you had a visit to US on your passport. It will just show that you typically follow immigration rules.

How much should I spend in 8 days trip to Canada alone I intend to re-apply also about funds I'm working in multinational company with salary 15k EGP and has balance with 3500 $ +150k EGP

Can you send me a suitable itinerary

150K EGP is roughly 4500 CAD. So you have a saving of 8000 CAD. And an income of 450 CAD per month. That does look a bit of bridge too far.

To be honest, it makes your entire trip look very suspicious. Just round trip ticket from Cairo to Toronto cost 1K CAD per person. From toronto to Niagra fall, just bus fair will be 60 dollars per person each way. Add to that hotel room will be minimum 100 dollars per day. Food will be another 50-60 dollar each day. And site seeing is extra.

You are looking at an easy 2000-3000 dollars bill for an 8 day trip for one person. It will be very hard to justify that you will be spending 1/4th-1/3rd of your total savings (which are about 1.5 years worth of your earning) in touring Canada.

Now if you add wife and 2 childred....

Half of your saving is gone in air tickets only...

It looks a very extreme expense to me and very hard to convince why will you want to tour Canada while completely spending your 1.5 years worth of salary in savings.
