Good day guys!
I am fairly new to this forum and I can see that a lot of those inquiring have had their lives changed by the people who shared their knowledge and expertise on the subject. Kudos to all of you who did it without asking for anything in return!
Along with the many newbies here, I too, am an aspirant of an OWP. Here's how my story goes:
My wife has already been nominated for PR (after being promised of it and after 6 years of waiting and transferring from one employer to another to another). She is just waiting for her approval through the SINP as a skilled worker. My eldest daughter and I, applied for study and open work permits, respectively, last year (January 2014) but got denied. At that time, there was no PR application for my wife yet. I am now once again going to try our luck to apply for the same but this time I would like to be sure of what the necessary documents and steps I should take to avoid being denied the second time. One of the posts I have read says that it will be hard to expect a positive result the third time if you get denied twice.
On February 27, 2014, I received a letter from the Canadian Embassy in Manila stating the reasons for the denial. Here is what it says:
"You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for your stay". On the subsection, what was highlighted was: 1) your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence, 2) your personal assets and financial status
Also, in "Other reasons", it said "you are or will be unwilling to support yourself or any other person who is dependent on you, and have not satisfied an officer that adequate arrangements for care and support, other than those involve social assistance, have been made.
As for my daughter, the only one marked why her application for student permit was denied is about the "Other reasons".
What I did not understand was, we were advised by our agent in Canada to have our Medical Exams already prior to the receipt of this letter and we underwent the same only to find out we will get denied.
Any feedback to this inquiry would be most appreciated.
Thank you very much MGA KAPUSO, KAPAMILYA at KAPATID!!!
