Hi There,

I applied for my Father's vistor visa and it got refused twice. Here are all the details:

-My mother already has visitor visa of canada for 8 years.
-When we applied for visa my father attached property evaluation of everything he owns whose value is over $50,000 and he runs a business with gross income of around $4000/month
-From my side I sent an Invitation letter, Job letter with annual income of $48k and bank statement of $20k
-My father was in US earlier for 8 years until since 1999 and was there on a political stay and was asked to leave country in 2007
-I am on a work permit at the moment

The first time the rejection reason were following:
-No travel history in last 10 years
-Incomplete Information about USA stay and removal or about duration and dates of previous travel to Canada

Second time:
-Given economic condition, employment prospects, considering your traveling histor,y economic establishment and family ties. I am not satisfied that you would respect the terms of your admission as a temporary resident in canada

Should I reapply? What documents should I attach this time? I would appreciate any help.

It sounds like he needs to provide more complete information about his removal / order to leave the US in 2007. The fact he has this travel history isn't helpful since it demonstrates he previously attempted to leave his home country permanently.

How long a trip did he request?

Hi scylla,
We attached the passport copies of his entries in US and Canada (he's been to Canada before when he was in US, two times as visitor, last was in 2002). What documents would you suggest to attach.

We requested the trip for 2-3 weeks.

You said your father was asked to leave the US in 2007. What information did you provide to explain the circumstances? When you say he was there on a political stay - do you mean as a refugee / asylum claimant?

He was on green card for 5 years and 3 years as refugee as his green card was revoked due to providing false information. My father intended to disclose that information but before he could, someone else known to us, complained to immigration that he has provided false information. His case went on for a few years but it was closed in 2007 and was asked to leave.

As for information provided to explain circumstances, I'm not sure about that as my father did it from India.

With this information, your father will definitely find it hard to get visa. I think he should wait for sometime to clear things. Maybe travel to other countries.

As your father attempted to remain in the US by committing fraud, there is little chance that he will be approved for a TRV to Canada.

If your father was convicted for false information for an immigrant visa then he was deported/removed from the US. There's an almost zero chance that he will be approved for a TRV
