Seeking Advice on Visit Visa Application for Sister-in-Law!

[kamsum]

I am looking for advice regarding my single sister-in-law, who is 49 years old and currently residing in Pakistan. She applied for a visit visa but unfortunately received a refusal due to objections related to her failure to provide official documents explicitly establishing her relationship with other family members in Pakistan.

This is second time Visa application refused first time application it was sponsor by my husband. This time I sponsor my sister-in-law application.

As her sponsor, I am keen to assist her in successfully obtaining a visit visa. I am a practicing doctor in the Toronto region and would appreciate any guidance or consultation (possibly on a paid basis) on how to address the visa officer's concerns and what specific documents we should prepare to strengthen her application. Thank in advance you for your any assistance!

Order GCMS notes and no point in reapplying unless reasons for refusal can be addressed. Two refusals is a lot. There is no such thing as sponsorship for a TRV. You can invite her. She shows her own funds (cash in the bank), ties to return (job letter with approved leave, business registration, income property), travel history to UK, US, NZ and AUS. She has no family ties to return unless she has a child under 22. You invite her but say she can afford her own visit. Your funds and job are not relevant.

Not sure how being a physician is at all related. IRCC is well aware that she has a high risk of trying to remain in Canada especially as a single middled aged woman visiting her brother for cultural reasons. What are her ties to Pakistan? Are her parents alive and do they have status in Canada or a TRV?

You or your husband don't have to show proof of funds. Instead, the applicant must show their proof of funds. How long did she mentioned staying?

Thank you for your reply and advice.

I have already obtained the GCMS notes, which confirm that the refusal was due to objections related to her failure to provide official documents explicitly establishing her relationship with other family members in Pakistan. This essentially means a lack of family ties. Additionally, her very limited travel history was highlighted as another factor contributing to the refusal.

I have a question regarding the possibility of improving her travel history. If she arrange visiting visa for countries like( Angola, Argentina, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Botswana, Brunei, or Costa Rica) where arranging a visit visa might be relatively easier, would this strengthen her profile and improve her chances for a Canadian visit visa? Or would this exercise not carry enough weight to address the concerns about her limited travel history?

E you are right but arranging visas for countries like the UK, US, New Zealand, or Australia is as challenging as Canada visit visa and likely not possible at this stage.

Additionally, while she has shown some funds in her own name, the amount is not substantial, and although she has provided evidence of property ownership and investments, her single status seems to be a major hurdle in building a strong visit visa application. This raises further concerns about how to establish her intent to return to Pakistan in future applications.

I am seeking advice on the following:

Would visiting other countries with easier visa requirements help improve her travel history and application weightage?

How can we better address the issue of family ties and her single status?

Would it help to show further financial support from the sponsor (myself) or joint assets?

I greatly appreciate your guidance and insights on how we can overcome these challenges.

Thanks for reply her parent is sick and we mention in application she cannot spend to much time because her parent sick.

Mother came several times in Canada on super visa, but now she is very sick and 80+ and now super visa has been expired last year.

1. Visiting other countries other than UK, US, NZ and AUS doesn’t strengthen her application. Still doesn’t address funds and no family ties.
2. She needs to show her own funds. Your support doesn’t have to be considered.
3. Parents not a tie. She doesn’t have family ties. So she lives with parents and are their full time caregiver. Show this and doctor’s notes and who is caring for them when she visits. Include how she cares for her parents with proof.

Thank you for your reply and advice! You mentioned a valid point, but it seems a bit tough to work on it at the moment. I really appreciate your time and insights.

If you have any further suggestions on how to strengthen her case, I would be grateful to hear them! Thanks again!
