Visa application refused - Temporary resident visa - Family ties

[vivekmaster146]

My Temporary resident visa(less than 6 months) was rejected on the following grounds:

1. based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.
2. based on your personal assets and .....
3. based on the purpose of your visit

I have a wife, daughter, and parents staying in my country of residence. I mentioned this info in the family information form. I have no family members or relatives in Canada. How can they reject on the basis of this reason when I have strong family ties in my home country and no ties in Canada?

eligibility for a trv goes along way not just ties to your home country. length of stay is a major refusal too,purpose of travel along gets you rejected, lack of fundsand many more so check your application and review it i bet youll find a reason among these to be your fault.goodluck!

@Demaktjun3792 But they did mention the family ties reason as well. Also, they straightaway rejected it without asking for documents like marriage certificates, child birth certificates, bank statements, etc. Does it need to be submitted along with the application letter while submitting the application? I submitted the documents that was asked for(5645, 5257 etc.) and thought the other supporting documents need to be submitted only upon request.

What is your profile and reason for travel to Canada? How long did you request to travel? In another post it mentions that you have no previous travel history.

So you are not travelling as a tourist but business. What do you mean meeting the ”economic development wing”? So you are meeting with provinical or municipal officials and conducting business. How much did you show in personal (not business) funds for your trip. So you were going to Ontario and then flying to Nova Scotia too. You have not travel history but coming to Canada on business with not enough funds.

Does that include airfare? Does that include airfare between the provinces since you are going to Ontario and Nova Scotia? If so, not enough.

My main concern is why the "family ties" reason was mentioned when I had mentioned my wife, daughter, and parents in the family information form? Also, they did not ask for any proof like a marriage certificate or child birth certificate.

Do you live in your home country? This shouldn’t be your main concern. Your main concern is that you are conducting business on a tourist visa and don’t have enough funds for the trip.

@Naturgrl

In the business activities description form, it was mentioned that my company will take care of all the expenses. I am curious to know that why the "family ties"ground was mentioned in the letter and on what basis can they say about the personal assets when they didn't ask for any proof.

The issue is you are not coming as a visitor. You are coming to do business with your company paying expenses. Again didn’t answer the question - do you live in your home country? Eg. You have Swiss passport and live in Switzerland.

I am just curious. Is $11k not enough for a 10 day trip? I read somewhere that on an average the requirement is $2000/ month. Even flights between Ontario and nova scotia aren't that much to warrant the ask of more funds.

If the reason is financial, then I believe it could be a lack of transactions in the account rather than the amount itself. Kindly explain.
