Problem with my husband's strong ties..

[cassandra10]

Hi,

I am currently assisting my husband for his TRV application. However, I have doubts about his economic ties to our home country are not quite strong. Also, I got pregnant with twins when I visited him last January 2017. I will give birth on October 2017 and currently on maternity leave due to my condition.

Please advise us on our problems with our TRV application. I am not sure if he would be given a chance to stay with me at least two months here in Canada during and after birth.

Here are our problems on how to demonstrate his strong ties in our home country:

1. He does not have any properties on his name because their new house was named to his parents though he and her sister paid all the expenses for building their new house.
2. He is working for almost 25 years as a Manager in an automotive industry in our home country. Is this enough?
3. He has loans and credit card balances. Can we include this?
4. He travels a lot but most of his travels are business trips in Asian countries together with their General Manager and Vice president. Travel expenses were paid by his employer. Can we include this as one of his strong ties?
5. He does not have his own car. He's using a company car provided to him because he is one of the managers. Definitely, this will not be included in his strong ties list, am I right?

Also, will my current situation affect his TRV application? because I am on maternity leave, have a small amount of savings and still living with my sister in Canada. What documents should I include to support his application?

The main purpose of his TRV application is to be with me during and after birth of our twins for at least two months. A lot of our friends told me that he will not be granted for TRV because I am pregnant, have no work as of now and my husband has no properties.

Please enlighten us on this, I don't know if we will still continue to apply for his TRV.
Thanks in advance.

you are better off posting this in the Visiting Canada forum. This is for family class - permanent residence

He should reduce the length of his trip to three weeks.

2. His company should provide a letter confirming his employment and the duration of his leave.
3. It would be better to show bank balances and assets rather than loans and credit card balances. If he shows he has a lot of money owed, CIC may have concerns about his ability to fund the trip.
4. This isn't a tie. Does he have any past travel to countries such as the US, UK or Europe?
5. Yes - you're right.

As with the above poster- you may want to ask if the Visiting Canada forum. However- did you know that unlike regular EI benefits, that while on mat leave you are entitled to leave Canada/travel and still receive your benefits? Just as an idea in case your husband isn't able to come to Canada.

 

[cassandra10]

Thanks to all.. I am sorry, I don't know that there's a Visiting Canada forum..

By the way, I was not able to meet the required number of hours for EI benefits..

And he doesn't have any past travel to any other countries like US, UK and Europe..

Have you applied for spousal sponsorship yet? Just trying to figure if your husbands PR will come thru before you delivery and a TRV won't even be necessary.

 

[scylla]

And he doesn't have any past travel to any other countries like US, UK and Europe..

In that case I would definitely limit the length of the trip you're requesting to 2-3 weeks.

No not yet, we're still gathering documents for spousal sponsorship.. that's why we're trying to apply for his TRV. His strong ties are only his job and savings in our home country.. I hope he will be approved so that he's with me during my labor and delivery..

Thanks Scylla. I'll inform my husband about the length of his trip.

I would apply for 2 weeks. Supply all the necessary documents that you can that support his ties back home. Generally, TRV's are not processed with a specific date you have to arrive and leave, based on the application. You will get a single or multiple entry with a validity period from date of issue until 6 months, or a year or 5, etc from date of issue. Once you have the TRV he can travel to Canada. At the POE is where the CBSA officer determines length of stay. It has nothing to do with what was requested. Generally, it seems to be 6 months unless there are significant concerns. If he gets 6 months, your 2 month stay is no problem. If he doesn't there is always the option to extend your stay before the stamp in his passport (online is currently 99 days, paper 119 days). He can stay on implied status until the decision is made....or leave if he so chooses.

Thank you Buletruck.. we will supply all the supporting documents for his TRV application..

I'm not trying to be pessimistic but I know someone who was in a similar situation like you and refused a TRV. The rejection comments stated that the Applicant should apply for spousal sponsorship instead!

Thanks Janchor, I think we should not give it a try to apply for TRV if that's the case. I'll just wait to finish my mat leave to apply for his PR application. Maybe I'll be the one to visit him again in our home country together with our twins.. I am already losing hope that he will be given a chance to come here and be with me during my delivery.. Being apart from my husband is so hard especially now that I am pregnant...I can't travel and go back again to my home country to give birth there because my doctor will not allow me to travel anymore. Our last resort is the spousal sponsorship. We will just submit this after my mat leave so I have work to support his future application.

His job is probably the strongest tie that he has to his home country, especially if he needs it to support you (or will need to support you when your savings run out) while you are on maternity leave, with no EI. He'll need a letter from his employer, stating how long he has been with the company, his current salary, that he has been approved for leave of certain duration, and that his job will still be there for him when he returns from leave. Is his 25 years with the same employer?

He'll also need to show that he has enough savings to finance his trip, and support you during your maternity leave (if necessary).

Does he have any travel history to any country that required a visa? Does he have another child that will be staying behind in his home country?

Basically you have to put yourself in the shoes of the visa officer and ask yourself whether it's strong enough evidence to convince you that he will return to his home country at the end of his stay in Canada.

Thank you for your advise.. My husband is working for 25yrs to present with the same company.. He told me that we will give it a try to apply for TRV.. he already gathering the documents needed for the application.

He has Japan visa because he is always travelling abroad (Asian countries- China, Thailand, Indonesia and Japan) but it is more on business related trip.

Actually, he was annulled 7 years ago. He has a son who's already an adult and living with his ex-wife. But my husband is living with his parents..
