Hi all,

I am going to Canada for an international finance competition for one week as a student of my university. Under the purpose of visit- should I choose "other" or "tourism"?

And I am financially dependent on my parents. what is the required amount of funds that my parents should have on their accounts?

Thanks,
Amy

If you're representing your university then are they paying for your visit?

You must select 'Other' because you're not visiting for tourism

Thanks for the reply. They will pay for flight and accomodation. I need to pay for other things like food, etc.

Thanks, how should I prove that I will return to my home country? I just got refused yesterday so I am applying a new one. I attached my employment contract to show the tie to my country of residence.

1. What were the refusal reasons?

2. Are you a student? Employed? Or both? Or is your study program a part-time one or is it a distance education/online program?

3. What is the international competition for? What documents did the Canadian organizers provide? What documents will your university provide?

4. When does your study program end? What is the duration of this study program?

5. As you are employed, indicating that you are dependent on your parents could negatively impact a TRV approval? Unless you are employed part-time and you're quite young.

6. Have you traveled to other visa-required countries like the US, UK, Schengen, Australia, etc?

7. What documents did you submit for your immigration status in your country of residence?

1. What were the refusal reasons?

In the correspondence letter, it is stated that:

You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including:

travel history
immigration status in country of residence
Length of proposed stay in Canada
Purpose of visit
Personal assets and financial status

I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds, including income or assets, to carry out your stated

purpose in going to Canada or to maintain yourself while in Canada and to effect your departure.

You have not provided sufficient documentation to support your / your host's income and assets.

I guess this is because I chose" tourism" but in the explanatory letter, I wrote the reason I am going to Canada is for the competition, not tourism? And I am financially dependent on both of my parents. I am a permanent resident in Australia. I live with my mum but she does not have a lot of money in her bank account. My dad is in china and I used his bank statements. It is about 4000 CAD. I think it is not enough? Now I asked my dad to put more money so it will have around 10000 CAD. Will this be enough?

2. Are you a student? Employed? Or both? Or is your study program a part-time one or is it a distance education/online program?

I recently just graduate from Sydney University and have started my first full-time job for less than a month. I haven't received salary yet. However, I will receive salary before my departure for Canada. I will have more money then. I have included my employment contract stating the salary and the pay date.
3. What is the international competition for? What documents did the Canadian organizers provide? What documents will your university provide?
It is called Rotman International Trading Competition. I have an invitation letter from Toronto University. My uni has flight receipt. Should I ask more documents from my uni?
4. When does your study program end? What is the duration of this study program?
It ended in the nov 2017 but I am going to the competition as a student of Sydney University
5. As you are employed, indicating that you are dependent on your parents could negatively impact a TRV approval? Unless you are employed part-time and you're quite young.
Yeah I am still dependent on my parents cos I have not received my salary, yet
6. Have you traveled to other visa-required countries like the US, UK, Schengen, Australia, etc?
I have been living in Australia for 6 years. I am originally from China.
7. What documents did you submit for your immigration status in your country of residence?
Permanent residency

Thanks a lot!! <3
