I've been refused twice in my TRV applications in the past two months. I have a Canadian boyfriend who wanted me to take a month of vacation in his country, but because the majority of testimonials and stories we heard from the ones who were also in a relationship with someone who's inviting them to Canada resulted to visa refusal, we decided to have me apply as a solo tourist (without declaring anything about my boyfriend). I applied, which was my first visa application, in July. Unfortunately, I was denied with 4 reasons such as family ties, travel history, financial assets, and purpose of visit.
After a month, I reapplied, but this time around having my boyfriend as my inviter/sponsor. I just included in my cover letter, together with my explanations addressing the 4 refusal reason, my explaination as to why I decided not to declare him in my first application and why I was declaring him in my current application. We submitted all the important documents of his, together with mine and everything that proved the authenticity and length of our relationship, as well as a Letter of Support from their MP (Member of Parliament). Again, I was denied and the refusal reasons were the same as the previous ones except my financial assets which was replaced with two new reasons such as my employment status (when there was nothing changed in my employment upon my 2nd application and when they did not include that as one of the reasons in my 1st application; they were inconsistent on this part.) and that they did not believe I answered the questions truthfully (which we were wondering which questions were they referring to).
We were so devastated and disheartened.
Early this September, just a few days after we received my second refusal email, my boyfriend requested online for ATIP (Access to Information and Privacy) to get the detailed reason of my recent visa refusal so we could see if we could make an appeal. Hasn't received it yet tho as it would take up to a month to receive it.
While waiting, we're considering other option which is to apply for a study permit. I'm just worried tho that the visa officer would take my previous TRV refusals against my study permit application and eventually refuse me once again. What do you guys think?
