Hello all,
I want to know the chances of bringing my family into Canada to visit me as an international student after we were all refused a visitor visa back in 2017.
I was approved a study permit in 2020 after addressing the previous refusal and explained why we wanted to visit Canada: on the one hand, to see if it would be a good place for my post-secondary studies (I was in high school at that time). On the other, to also spend a good summer vacation as a family. This was my rebuttal to the previous refusal.
We were in Saudi Arabia at the time of applying, as my father works there (he still does). Having read a few topics on this forum, I realized why we were refused; expats from third world countries working in GCC countries have low chances of approval. As I understood, we were all refused due to lack of ties to our home country and the country of residence, which was Saudi Arabia in our case.
Now that I am approved a study permit as an undergrad, my family has a stronger reason to visit Canada, which would be visiting their son. I also want them to tour Canada and enjoy themselves. There is NO way they could overstay their visit as my father is the primary sponsor of my living and study expenses. I believe it would be contradictory for them to approve me and refuse them judging from the fact that they were convinced of my rebuttal (which would be also mentioned in their application in some way).
I know you are not psychics nor hand readers, but you (collectively) most likely have a decent enough experience to answer my question. Now the question here is, again, as follows: what are the chances of success in bringing my family in Canada on a visitor visa to visit me?
