Hi,
I am a Central government employee in India and a first-time traveler i.e no visa on my Passport so far, I have applied for a visitor visa for Canada which was got rejected twice in a row within a month.

1. In the first instance, my visa agent misrepresented my purpose of visit wrongly as tourism and attached all supporting documents like 2 years ITR, my 6 months salary statements, NOC from my Government office, financial bank statements having CAD 6000, and a dummy ticket booked by him, but it got rejected.

Reasons for rejection of first application are hereby;

- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.

· - I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

·- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your travel history.

- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your purpose of visit.


2. I reapplied myself within few days by myself without help of my agent using all correct information which he hid from my previous application, in my second application I mentioned my purpose of visit as to attend my Girlfriend convocation with all attached documents like my previous documents in addition to invitation letter from my gf, her bank statements, her income tax returns of two years, her convocation details and my flight tickets to and fro which was booked by her using CAD, it again got rejected on similar grounds with one last point exception i.e purpose of visit.

Reasons for rejection of 2nd application are hereby;

- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.

· - I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

·- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your travel history.

What to do, as it is very mportant for me to visit her on convocation,we are in relationship since last 10 years and i have mentioned that too in my SOP with all supporting documents such as our photographs and whatsapp chats. What could be the grounds of rejection both the time and should I apply third time too or it will have a negative effect on my future applications like they will Debar me for life.

Or,

Changing the purpose of the visit in my second application immediately led to the refusal of my application again.

Please Help. Her convocation is on 7th June 2019.

They are likely concerned you will get married and your girlfriend will try to add you as a spouse to her work permit.

You can quit jobs easily, by sending an email. What other reasons to return home did you provide?
My widowed mother is living here in India, and also my property paper for which I am currently repaying my bank installments (which is reflected in my bank account statements)

Are you caring for your widowed mother, and did you provide proof of that in your application? Did you explain about the property paper and its payments, or just hope that the visa officer would deduce that from the statements? They don't read every transaction - they expect you to tell them the significance.

No i have mentioned her profession as school teacher. And what kind of supporting document could have showed that i am caring for her. Because shes a government pensioner.

Well, if you didn't mention the fact that you care for her, then there is no way the visa officer could know you do, and wouldn't be able to use that as a way to understand why you would return home. Mention her in your next statement of purpose when you address the visa officer's concerns. Provide proof of money transfers or bills you pay for her, etc.

So you still think that i stand a chance to get visitors visa if i reapply again with good SOP mentioning my return clearly to care for my mother. Apart from this, do you find any other mistakes in my application, like changing grounds on purpose of visit in my second application, do you think it led to my rejection?

It may have raised questions about your first purpose of visit, and it may have contributed.

Think about other reasons to return other than your mother - do you have others you can explain?

I had mentioned in my SOP that our parents has agreed to our marriage which is to take place next year here in India, so i will return to India for making all necessary arrangements for our wedding. What else i could have wrote?

Well, unfortunately that's a good reason for them to have rejected the visa, because it is a risk of overstay. I know you won't overstay, but enough people have in this same fact pattern - a fiancee or a spouse in Canada - that this is a risk factor.

I don't know enough about you and your personal history to come up with other reasons for you to return. Honestly, arranging a wedding is a good one - except that it's a wedding to the person that you're visiting in Canada. Without me asking you dozens of questions about your life, try to think of other examples of reasons to return that are similar to caring for your mother.

Ohk, but what to do about my travel history, i mean my passport is blank, how can i circumvent this clause.
And do you think i should reapply again or iam risking my future chances by doing this. Should i accept the reality that I wont be able to be with her on her convocation.

The factors for a rejection are weighed, like on a scale. Each rejection factor is a negative factor. However, you can counterbalance them with strong reasons that you will return. It's entirely possible for someone with a blank passport to get a visa if they have strong ties home and reasons to return.

I really can't tell you much more than this. You could hire a consultant, but make sure they're reliable - if a consultant submits fake documents, you'll be banned from Canada.
