I just got the GCMS notes. "I have reviewed the application. I have considered the following factors in my decision. The purpose of the applicant’s visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details provided in the application. The applicant’s current employment...

I don’t know how much their visas might have affected his application. The officer didn’t mention strong ties to Canada or weak ties to home country. He mentioned only “you are not financially established in your home country.”

I already ordered the GCMS notes, I am waiting for them now. My parents have regular TRVs, not supervisas. My mother was here for 2 weeks a while ago. My father hasn't used his new visa yet, but he was here 16 years ago invited by another relative as a tourist on a six-month visa. He went back...

Thanks very much pal for the effort you put in your reply. That's the type of answer I was looking for. I already ordered the GCMS notes, so once I get them, I will share the details. Purpose of Visit Not Clearly Defined: The visa officer may have felt that the purpose of your brother's visit...

Did you already receive the GCMS notes? What did the officer write? My brother got rejected too and I just ordered the notes.

So what should we do differently in the new application then?

The purpose of the visit was clear: visit me and see Toronto. So, two weeks is a very reasonable time for this purpose. I think the visa officer just wanted to find an excuse for the visit purpose. How can he be financially established? I don't understand this. He has been working for 2 years...

So, how much money should my brother have in his account for a 10-day trip? What do you think?

Can I explicitly state on the new application that I will completely fund his trip, including the plane tickets, and make the stay for 10 days instead of 2 weeks? Will this make any difference?

Yes, I believe it's because of the immigration crisis Canada is experiencing right now, so they took a hard stance on every TRV now. "The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay" does not make any sense. Two weeks is very normal for a tourist visit. They just...

No, only to Italy, Germany, Macedonia, and Kosovo.

Yes, correct. He lives with them and the house is owned by them. So, do you have any suggestions on how we can fix the second application?

Yes, I know that my finances are secondary, but why did that work in my parents' case? My brother's visit was scheduled from June 22 - July 5. Up to that time one can save up $2000 and the flight expenses with his salary. He was going to stay at my place and I would provide the his other...

I am a Canadian citizen and invited my brother to visit me for 2 weeks and explore the city of Toronto. His TRV was refused because of these reasons: "I am refusing your application. • I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the...

I was wondering the same about the pickup thing...it would save up so much time...

Thanks. Actually, I haven't saved my full timeline in one place, I used to post it as I got updates, but you can enter my username into the Google Drive spreadsheet and you will see it there.

In my opinion, you don't need to do any mock tests. Just read many times the official booklet and underline key info and you will be fine.

But how will it look to the visa officer if I send it now, after one month of submitting the application? Could it raise any flags or doubts to him/her?
