No, there is nothing like auto refuse. There is always a officer final decision. Chinook is just a tool to help the officer organize his work.
There is no lawyer or consultant who can INCREASE your visa chances.
BTW, from where did you applied? whats your profile? share breifly
Here is some background
Host Family Background:
My brother in law and nice would like to apply for a visitor visa to visit family in canada to visit us in summer/winter vacations 2024.
In our family we have our mother ,3 brothers and a sister.
3 of us brothers and mother are settled in canada, sisters family is settled in india. we are canadian citizens/permanent residents(mother).
I (host) own a home in vancouver and employed as a project manager in IT company with stable income.
My wife is a teacher in school district. we have 2 kids.
All of our family has legally immigrated to Canada so no one has abused visitor visa to claim refugee or convert to work permit etc.
Me and my brothers immigrated via FSW program. Me in 2008, brothers in 2016. Wife in 2015, mother in 2016.
i sponsored my wife and mother to canada.
All of us are citizens except mother who is a PR.
Applicant Family details:
My sister works in an IT company as Data scientist and makes around around 25000 CAD in india.
She has been working in this company for 3 years and previously worked for other companies consistently for 7-8 years.
She is also enrolled in a masters program to further her studies.
My niece is a Grade 8 student.
My brother in law owns a construction company in partnership with his brother and they build apartments. He is currently constructing an apartment complex in a multi year
contract ( 3 buildings, contract of 2.5 Million Dollars)
Previous application to Canada
During sisters and nieces last attempt to apply visitor visa in 2019 their application was refused twice.
During second refusal we requested reconsinderation via MP and sisters application was then approved however they still denied my niece application.
Reasons for visit:
Family.
my sister is the only family member in india and likes to visit along with her family.
My niece paternal granparents passed during covid so she has only her maternal grandmother left who lives in Canada
she is also healthwise having ailments like arthritis, osteoporosis, asthma, bp so cant travel often to india and is 70 years old so my sisters family would like to visit and see her and also tour canada.
my niece wants to visit her uncles and her nephews who live here in Canada.
Financials:
My sister has about 20K CAD in savings consistently saved over last 2 years. My brother in law has fixed deposits of 10k CAD and 5k CAD
in savings account however there is lot of fluidity in his money transactions due to the nature of business where he has to often invest all his savings
for construction projects as he awaits payment from parties to consistent savings in savings account are not there but his company recieves funds as per the contract upon completion of portions of building so income generation can be shown.
My brother in law owns ancestral properties (farms) worth about 500k CAD and has an asset statement to support it.
He has shares worth 7000 dollars as well.
Travel history
My sister has since visited Canada once for 2 weeks and returned in January 2024.
She has previously travelled to Europe (Germany and Turkey) in 2008.
Brother in law has travelled twice to thailand before.
Niece hasn't travelled outside.
Previous Refusals:
Only Niece has 2 refusals.
brother in law no refusals
sister has one refusal and second app for canada got approved on reconsideration.
Concerns:
Brother in law doesnt have employment and operates his business. does not have stready savings to show. This along with nieces previous refusals are a key concern where we would like to get guidance and make a strong application.
