hi bryanna ,

would you believe i still dont have any update on my TRV.

further to my complaint on my lost online application, they finally activated my online submission on june 15.
my entire family (all those who applied on the same day) got their passports with approved TRV's on june 19.

its june 24 and i am still awaiting my TRV to be approved, post which the passport will be submitted for stamping.

i have written to them in every forum and way possible, and the only reply i got after 12 days was that we since 2015 we dont accept any emails and you need to write a comment in a particular format and submit it online. can you believe this came after their website as well as VFS dubai all give the same email id for any further communication. what a bummer. this has been a very frustrating experience, such dis-credit for this actually being a mistake from their end. it seems i would end up losing quite a bit of money for stuff paid up.

any ideas on what i can do to quicken this up, i have exactly 3 working days left. Without an approval nothings moving forward except my flight.

Should i just happily go to the US and forget about canada, i would have seriously done that had i not paid up. i feel really sad to lose money on procedural errors and nothing to do with me. also the grand parents are going to be really sad and this was a trip of 4 generations they were really looking too. wonder if it would ever happen again.

any suggestions ??

hello akshay

any update on your case?

they still holding my passport even they refused my application

Long canadian holiday coming from 30 june i guess

so i have to expect more delay to get my passport and my wife case still under review

Hello experts,
I am planning to invite my mom and sister for visit me. I need some suggestion.

1. My sister is single, therefore she doesn't have family ties in back home. She lives with my mom. My mom and sister visited India 3/4 times, except that they don't have travel history from any other country. She is taking care of our family business. The business under her name since she has to handle it. Our business has yearly income approximately 450k.Canadian dollar. All the business income goes to her business account. We also have properties.

2. Do you think I should apply for my mom super visa and separately send invitation letter for my sister TRV.
or they should apply for both of them in a same application normal TRV.

3. I am working same company for almost 3 years. I will sponsor my mom end of 2018 for permanence residency. Now I want my mom and sister visit me.

I wrote almost big history to understand our situation.

Please advise me how much chances to get TRV visa if she apply her own or my mom & she apply for normal TRV in a same application.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I would suggest you apply first for your mom (super visa or TRV depending on your eligibility + her ties, including she can indicate your sister as a family tie to return to). After she is approved then apply for a TRV for your sister


For your sister:
The chances of approval would depend on the type of documents/evidence she provides for her business + property


For your mom:
She has only property ties to return to. She must prove stronger ties


Cheers

Hi Bryanna thank you so much for your input. My sister will indicate her involvedness in business like she might will write a letter he responsibility regarding business. She has to come back for business as long as we don't sold them. She is the person take decision, pay to employees lot other activities, so that she cant stay out long time.

She will show ties in back home:
4 months Bank statement including business and personal account with current balance.
Business ownership documents.
Income tax slip paid on business income for 3 years
Properties tax documents
She owned car-I am not sure if she need to indicate that she owned car.

She will say that business is the main reason that she will be back.

Do you think it would be ok.
Thank you again.

A visitor visa only allows you to visit. It does not allow you to work, attend school, or live in Canada.

No - you cannot register your child in school as a visitor. In order to register your child in school, you will need to obtain a study permit for your child and also be prepared to pay $14K per year in tuition.

None!

You and your child will have no benefits from Canada as you are a visitor. Only citizens, PR's and recognized refugees are entitled to access to any of the benefits and services. All the TRV provides you is the ability to travel to Canada. CBSA will make the final determination of how long to enter the country (maximum 6 months). It is entirely possible that you will be given a short time or refused entry entirely if they don't feel you are a visitor.

For her business she must also include:

Her personal finances: Financial investments

Explanation: Why she is allowed to use business funds for a private visit (is it a sole ownership or a partnership business??) + the net amount available in the business bank account (she cannot show the total amount as available funds as it includes employee salaries, supplier payments, taxes, etc) + why she can take XX days off from her work schedule + who will temporarily look after her business when she is away. All this must be backed by evidence/documents.

She must also include 2-3 reasons to return home by a specific date, with evidence.


For her properties:
Are they sole ownership or owned with someone else? For the latter, she must state her percentage of ownership + indicative market value of that percentage ownership + property tax receipts + valuation (self or by a CA), etc

“Thank you Bryanna for helping me out today and for your brief information".
(is it a sole ownership or a partnership business??)
I'm sorry for wrong information, The first one is our family business. Ownership is on her and my brother name. Since he doesn't do much activity on it therefore I totally forgot that my brother also owned the business. Another business also owns she and another partner. So basically both business are partnership.


For her properties: Are they sole ownership or owned with someone else ?
Property some of them are on her name and some of them she & I owned.

For the car: Has she purchased it on loan
No its not on loan, the time car was purchase paid in full amount, so that we don't owe balance.

Thank you all for your tremendous help.

 

[Bryanna]

I'm sorry for wrong information, The first one is our family business. Ownership is on her and my brother name. Since he doesn't do much activity on it therefore I totally forgot that my brother also owned the business.

In addition to the other documents which I had suggested, she must also include the Business partnership agreement + explain/provide evidence of her responsibilities (and why your brother will NOT be able to manage the business, hence she must return by XX date) + a letter from your brother (business partner) that she is allowed to use XXX funds from the business account for her Canada visit

Another business also owns she and another partner. So basically both business are partnership.

Same documents as what I have suggested for the business partnership with your brother

For her properties: Are they sole ownership or owned with someone else ?
Property some of them are on her name and some of them she & I owned.

I have given suggestions for this, especially the percentage ownership + total indicative market value and her percentage of the total indicative market value

For the car: Has she purchased it on loan
No its not on loan, the time car was purchase paid in full amount, so that we don't owe balance.

That's good. I'm assuming the car was not purchased with business funds to claim depreciation benefits.

You can include this as part of her financial situation + state it was a purchased in full = Her good financial situation.


I also suggest:
1. She prepare a cover letter with separate sections for Applicant details + Host details + Strong ties to the home country (business + property + financial + family ties) + Purpose of Visit (broad outline) + Available funds for my visit + Financial situation + Why she must return to the home country by XX date.

All information in point format, briefly. Give cross reference to evidence + evidence must be numbered.

2. A detailed day-by-day itinerary of her proposed visit with expense estimates

3. A Personal Net Worth/Personal Assets statement (property + financial investments + jewelry valuation by a certified jeweler + car, etc)


All amounts throughout the application must be stated in both her local currency + CAD.

Documents must be in English or translated into English/French by a certified translator
