Anyone can help me? Just got interview and after 2 days refusal email from hong kong Canada Consulate.Reason relationship not genuine and for immigration purposes. But does not meN it's true so We will appeal the desicion.My question is it possible if I want to apply tourists visa in Canada immigration willapprove or am I still allowed to apply??Short history I applied tour visa last 2013. And approved for6months (june-dec 2013) but I overstayed and left voluntarily the country jan 2015, without any removal letter from CBSA & immigration. That year I overstayed I met my husband and got married in Vancouver nov 2014.what I regret is I left cause We thought the right thing to do instead applying in-land spouse sponsorship. now i want tocome back but visa denied. If i apply tour visa possible of problem,if I approve?..in day of my arrival? MY employer here in Hong Kong will bring me there under their supporting documents and employment to accompanying and help them too while visiting,but I will never overstay again and learn my lesson.
Thank you in advance for ur reply.Please help me.

Hello,

It's not a great idea to apply for tourist visa, as you overstayed during your last visit.
I would also urge other members to suggest on this issue.
 
@Jbguerchuk

I agree with SV670, they might not issue you another tourist visa since you overstayed the first one.

My advise to you is make plans with your husband to meet up half way or let him come visit you in the mean time while your applicaton is being processed.

Sorry to hear the refusal. I kind of surprise you got refusal email so fast. My wife did interview in HCM (VO from Singapore). Interview does not go well and my wife was told about 4 weeks they will inform her decision. So we are still waiting and not sure next step is to appeal or gather new evidence to apply again.

There is zero chance your visitor visa will be approved given your previous overstay and your spousal sponsorship refusal. Save your money and don't bother applying.

Thank you all for your advice really appreciated.
Now our problem is where to find lawyer in Vancouver?
Anyone can recommend us to a good & trusted lawyer in Vancouver?

But honestly my husband & I having financially problem now and can't afford too expensive lawyer in town
Reason now we can't find someone to represent us.

but why you over stay during your visitor visa , at that time you can just return back to hongkong and apply again TRV visa
any way you can prepare for appeal and dont worry you will success in your appeal , just collect more and more evidence
i am also waiting for my interview , since last 7 month , we applied in October 2014 but my case is more complecated

I overstayed in Canada cause of my employer here in hong kong. They bring me there in 2013 to help them while staying in Vancouver. It's been complicated long story. To make it short i ovestayed a year and that year 2014 I met my husband now and married in Vancouver before I left jan 2015. I shouldn't left and listen to people around me. Just scared and confused that time and too much trouble to my daughters employer which is place i stayed there. But ignorance of the law is not excuse. I don't have choice that time but to stay snd I don't want yo leave my husband,butstill I left instead applying in land sponsorship which I regret my decision. Sorry your case how complicated? It's good thing to share your story here I know some people can relate and give you advice and lesson. This forum really help us.

I have the same regrets as you. I listened to people and my husband went back home. It's been 4 years and he is still not back yet. We are still looking at a few more months too. Don't beat yourself up, everything happens for a reason. Hopefully everything will work out for you in the end.

It is very hard when your child is growing up with out you. We have a son too and my husband barely spent any time with him and he will be starting school in September.

it's really heartbreaking to be far to your love ones specially there's little angel involved. But I realized God knowhow we suffer,let's just pray that God touch their heart's (all officer) and see our good intentions in Canada. Think positive and after interview u will get approve. u have lots of proof ;)

I had an interview in June 2015 in Ho Chi Minh. The VO told us that we had to wait 4 weeks. After 4 weeks my Immigration consultant got an email saying that my application was refused because it is not genuine. After I printed the refusal letter and I looked for a immigration lawyer and he sent the appeal letter for us.

Good luck John.
 
Hello everyone..as the new govt going to reduce the processing time of spouse visa and going to give the Pr to sponsored person directly...my question is that is there any news regarding the appeal cases. Means is they r going to reduce the processing time of appeal cases.
