Applying Visitor Visa For Wife and Kids after Refusal

[NiSn]

Need help with my case. I am a PR living in Canada for more than 5 years now. I applied visitor visa for my sister & her family (spouse & 2 minor kids) in 2022 and they were granted the visas but they never travelled to canada. In 2024 Jan, visa of kids expired as they had to renew passports. Now in Aug 2024 i reapplied for kids visas and included below in application

1) Financial documents of Parents
2) Ties to india of parents via property and jobs

The visa was rejected yesterday. I have ordered GCMS notes but wanted to check what additional things can i add in next application to make kids pass eligibility of visitor visa. Of course these are minor kids going to school so cant show their own financials or job certificates.

Getting a TRV in 2022 was ridiculously easy which created some of the mess we are currently dealing with. Hard to say whether whole family should have never been approved for TRVs, whether children faced new increased scrutiny or whether the application didn’t contain enough information. I would also suggest verifying the parents have not had their TRVs cancelled electronically which seems to be happening quite a lot especially given they probably declared their desire to travel in 2022 but then didn’t. All you can do is wait for GCMS notes.

Okay thanks. Do you know how to check and verify if parents visa is not cancelled? I dint know that granted visas are also cancelled

1. How old are kids? How much in funds was shown? Length of visit?
2. School registration and tuition paid.

That is not a lot of funds if that is all the savings. Both parents were approved so for 4 people that is not a lot. Should include the kids, not parents reasons to return.

How much funds are enough for a week? I dont think 20K is not enough. Especially when they dont have to spend on accomoodation. I guess 20K is just enough.

What was purpose of visit for only one week? They were refused for not enough funds so need more for a family of 4. Was that cash in the bank? The issue is not using all their savings so if the parents have investments, pension etc then show that too.

Purpose was to visit us for a week around christmas. Agreed will show more funds. And yes that was all cash in the bank. Over and above 20K cash in bank, i also showed 30K investments in mutual funds.

You say “I” so you are the one coming to Canada and showing the funds, not the person in Canada who is PR. Those funds from PR or citizen are not relevant, only family coming to Canada.

Boss that is just figure of speech. I had parents of kids only show proof of funds and not my funds.
