Dear Forum members,
My Family In-Law (5 people, Father and Mother In-Law, 2 Sisters-In-Law and One Brother In-Law) applied for a Visit Visa (CHC Islamabad, Pakistan) which unfortunately got rejected. All of the children of my In-Laws are under 18 years old.
My father In-Law runs a restaurant business and generates a good income. They own their home and have been filing taxes with the government as well.
Following were the reasons for rejection.
- travel history
- immigration status in country of residence
- Family ties in Canada and in country of residence
- Length of proposed stay in Canada
- Employment prospects in country of residence
- Current employment situation
- You have not provided sufficient documentation to support your / your host's income and assets.
- Other Reasons
1. Provenance of funds
2. I am not satisfied that you are a bonafide visitor to Canada who would exit the country at the end of your authorized stay.
My Father In-Law provided all business documents, Bank Statements (showing funds over CAD$60,000), Tax filing for business, Property documents etc. We from here in Canada provided T4 slips, letter from the employer stating my Salary which is quite healthy (Over $120K). Letter of Invitation stating that we will take care of all of their expenses while they are here.
Now we are thinking of applying for our Mother In-Law. However it seems she is not comfortable travelling on her own so she wants to bring one of her daughter along. My Sister In-Law is currently a Student and studying full-time.
Now I would like to know what sorts of documents should we add to application so that it might help them to secure the visa. Also is it advisable to apply for my Sister In-Law or should we just apply for Mother In-Law only.
Thanks for all advises.
