Dear CVIF,
I submitted them re-ppc, new forms, residency questionaire, forms of pakistani nationals. On my re-medical that had pasted my wife's photograph by mistake which I sent back for correction. As for the second part of your queries, my wife didnt study work but she did have bank account which she didnt maintain since 2008. She came to Pakistan early 2009 and never went back. We got married in 2010.
Dear, Whenever Immigration Officer asked or ask you that when you or your sponsor intend to return to Canada then his mean that when your sponsor intend to settle in Canada. In this regards, your sponsor i.e. your respected wife should show proof and give them assurance that she will have ties with Canada and will get settled as soon as you get visa. Your wife must had shown Active Bank Account i.e. Every month few transactions, Cell phone bills, and Filling TAX to Canada Revenue Agency. Since, your wife did not maintain any of those so that is why Immigration officer thought that you guys might not go to Canada even you get visa. Actually Immigration officer was not willing to see what you have and what you will bring to Canada but he/she wanted to see that your sponsor maintained her residency with Canada or not. If she did then you still be eligible getting Visa. For maintaining residency your wife must start making transactions every month not much just couple of dollars i.e. paying cell phone bills and any other bills, and making bank to bank money transfers, and get any cell phone number under her name from any cell phone company which send to her bill at the end of every month i.e. Rogers, Bell, Telus and etc. and ask her relatives in Canada to use her number every month if your wife does not able to use it. Cell phone bill will show activity of calls and it will also prove that the sponsor is active in Canada and filling each year TAX to Canada Revenue Agency. These things will help you to make your case ease.
So we dont have recent ties as such with Canada. Had i Known I need to have some ties with Canada I would have visited sent her off and on for visits. While I was filing it was mentioned on the forms that even if a citizen is not residing in Canada but can show he/she has definite plans of relocatting to Canada he/she can sponsor family. Accordingly I had done all the paperwork.
I totally agreed with you from above statement but you have read the 1st part of the clause but in 2nd part of clause it is also mentioned that sponsor must shows ties to Canada. According to Canadian Law, if you do not life in Canada at the 31 of December of each year then you still can not file TAX and your residency will not be accepted. In this Regards, person should be available in Canada for certain time to maintain his or her residency. It is not necessary you have to live whole 12 months in Canada but at least Canadian Sponsor must visit Canada and stay for at least 3 to 6 month during facial year.
Anyway, I was suggested that I should appeal and send my wife to Canada so that she starts building her ties with the country. Even if she doesnt work if she is living there, paying bills, renting/owning an apartment etc - that should convince the members at the hearing that now she is living here and the scenario is changed. We could win the appeal and my case would get my case back on track. The appeal could take as long 15-18 months and reapplying again would take 2 years plus so appealing would be somewhat quicker. What do you think with the idea?
Yes, I am agree with you. you must send your wife back to Canada and ask her to start build ties with Canada. If you want you can apply for TRV mean while until you get your PR. I really wish you good luck and will pray for you and all other fellows whose case in process.
Secondly, how many chances do I have for a visitor visa If i plan to accompany my wife in a few months to help her settle again? Are they few since my case was refused?
Dear truly speaking, do not apply for visit visa that soon because they might think something wrong or get something wrong from your this action. The reason of saying this is whenever you will apply for Visit visa then your visit and immigration's UID will be same. In other words your electronic file will be same and visa officer can review your whole back ground case before making any decision. Again, you can do a research and then take a strong step. Again, I am wishing you for best in future.
Cheers
