International Student Spouse Visa Refusal (3 times)

[Ramin.Hassankhani]

Dear my friends,

I am an MSc international student from Iran and got my admission letter from Saskatchewan university for MSc without fund or scholarship. (self-funded student). (Although I have MSc degree from Iran, I reapplied for MSc in Canada)
I am married and have one son under 2. I would like to bring my wife and son to Canada during my MSc for 2 years.
I will apply for study permit for myself, open work permit for my wife and visitor visa for my son.
My wife has no any employment in Canada, I just apply for open work permit for her the same as my friend who brought his wife with this method.

As for the financial part, I would like to prepare these documents :

1) Bank statement of my Father (around 25000 CAD), Mother (around 10000 CAD) , Wife ( around 10000 CAD) and mine (around 18000 CAD).
2) Supporting letter of my Father & Mother in which they will mention that they will send me around 3000 CAD monthly. They show this by demonstrating their official documents of 3 properties and their rental agreement they made for those 3 properties. In addition, my mother can attach her salary certification which is around 450 CAD monthly from government.

As for the reasons about returning to Iran following my graduation:

1) Strong tie of my wife with her mother. My wife lost her father 10 years ago for heart attack and her mother is over fifty now and needs someone to taking care of her. Although my wife has a brother, but he is 19 years old and is not old enough to take care of her mother.
2) My own mother has heart disease and I will attach her medical document to show that she also needs more to be taken care of.
3) My Master supervisor in Iran who will write a letter and will indicate that he asked me to return to Iran following my MSc graduation to join his lab for PhD which will be included salary.

What is you idea about above documents? Do these documents enough to convince the VISA officer?

Regrads,
Ramin

Hi Ramin,

Supporting letter of my Father & Mother in which they will mention that they will send me around 3000 CAD monthly. They show this by demonstrating their official documents of 3 properties and their rental agreement they made for those 3 properties. In addition, my mother can attach her salary certification which is around 450 CAD monthly from government.

1. Your parents' rental income + your mom's salary = CAD 3,000 per month?

2. Are you able to access the CAD 3,000 per month which your parents will provide you?

1) Strong tie of my wife with her mother. My wife lost her father 10 years ago for heart attack and her mother is over fifty now and needs someone to taking care of her. Although my wife has a brother, but he is 19 years old and is not old enough to take care of her mother.
2) My own mother has heart disease and I will attach her medical document to show that she also needs more to be taken care of.

IMO, these two reasons will not work. That's because if your wife will apply for an SOWP (indicating a stay of 2 years), it means her mom and your mom can be taken care of by someone else and they don't need your wife/you to take care of them.

Also, your wife's mom does not have a critical medical condition that would necessitate someone to take care of her. As for your mom, she has your dad and other relatives/siblings (???) to care for her well-being.

These reasons/evidence would have worked if your wife was applying for a short stay (TRV). I suggest you should prepare more convincing reasons to return to Iran


Cheers

Dear my friend,

Thanks for your attention.

1. Your parents' rental income + your mom's salary = CAD 3,000 per month?

No, my parents income is around 5000 CAD/month.

2. Are you able to access the CAD 3,000 per month which your parents will provide you?

Yes, they can transfer that amount to my future account in Canada. It is possible. I checked it here in Iran.


In addition,

Is it possible to suggest me some reasonable reasons to convince the VISA officer on my return.

Is it possible to suggest me some reasonable reasons to convince the VISA officer on my return.

In my opinion, your situation (study permit) is not the issue. It's having to prove that your wife will return to Iran which is the challenge.

Some situations which may convince IRCC that your wife will return:
1. Your wife owns property and/or legally represents her mom/immediate family member for property owned by that person.

2. Your minor son does not apply for a TRV presently, he can apply later after you and your wife are approved. Visa strategy-wise it could work (it has worked for some other applicants).

3. Your wife provides evidence of some compelling reason to return (personal, legal, property/financial, etc)

Hi,

According to your statement:

1. Your wife owns property and/or legally represents her mom/immediate family member for property owned by that person.



How does her mom's property convince the CIC officer on her return to Iran?

Hi,

According to your statement:

How does her mom's property convince the CIC officer on her return to Iran?

It could work only if your wife owns that property (property transfer from her mom).... or if your wife holds a Power of Attorney (POA) to represent her mom for legal/property-related matters (and can be proved by 1-2 examples).

The property ownership/POA reason to return may not work in isolation:
It's an immovable asset and as such does not compel someone to return by a specific date. That said, renewal of rent agreements, home extensions/constructions, mortgage repayment, etc could indicate reasons to return by a specific date

Hello,

I am an international Student doing PhD in Montreal. I get yearly scholarship of $20000 from Govt agency.
I got married on 21st Jan. As per CIC rules, my spouse can get open work permit. We applied for the same and it got rejected citing reasons like, Family ties in Canada and India, Financial Support, Work Experience, Travel History, Purpose of Visit.
For all these reasons we have provided all the documents eg, marriage certificate (Family Ties), her Job experience letter, financial support letter from father, bank statements etc.

After a month we applied for a visitor visa and again it got rejected with the reason: Purpose of travel, family ties and travel history. All the documents were still given.

We again applied for a visitor visa after 6 months with all documents attached and today got rejection letter citing, purpose of visit and family ties. (Surprisingly not travel history!!)

I need advise and help in this case. the visa office has i think made his mind not to grant visa to my wife. I give all solid documents still reason for rejection is same.
Please help

hi honestly based on my own personal experience ,i would suggest to stop apply, the best way to get your dependent here is
once finish your study and when you get job with O or A OR B category then apply. second strong (almost 99% chance to get her visa )
option is get PNP first and then apply her file on dependent TRV (she will get open work permit ).So many of my friends had a same issue (including me) like you.still its your choice because its my
opinion. I might be wrong so please correct me if anyone feel i am wrong. good luck

I'm not sure how much a masters at U of S cost these days for an international student but I think you may have some problems with POF. Also you mentioned you already having a masters degree. You will have to show how another masters degree will increase your skills and benefit your employment prospects. I would make sure you can get the study visa first before worrying about the rest.
