Please help.....Refused Visitor Visa

[Luke08]

Hi Guys! I need your help. I received a letter from CIC. It is a refusal letter. According to the letter, I have not satisfied the Visa officer that I would leave Canada at the end of my stay. The reasons are:
1. Travel History - I only had one travel history which was on my old passport. I submitted this passport together with my new passport.
2. Employment Prospects in the country of residence. I submitted Employment of Certificate showing my salary and approved leave of absence which was signed by our president. Since I am a co-owner of the company, I submitted also Article of Incorporations and Security Exchange Commission Certificate.
3 Current Employment Situation - what does this means?
4. Personal assets and financial status - submitted bank certificate and bank statement and my life insurance plus investment certificate.

I also submitted the birth certificate of my son.

I need you help guys. How Can I address these reasons. Hoping for your help.

Hi,

Not sure if you are the same member who I had advised earlier (a new username though).... but apparently my suggestions/advice was not taken on board.

a. Who are you visiting and for how long? Purpose of visit?
b. How much finances did you show for your visit? Did it cover airfare and the itinerary?
c. What documents did you submit for your work + your other ties to the Philippines?


Cheers

Did you get a letter of invitation from your friend? That's one important factor too for the application.

Hi,

Do go through the replies posted to Macias and Eight.... he applied on January 18 with identical documents as yourself.

Coming back to your refusal:
a. Funds for Visit: CAD 3000.... would this cover airfare + your itinerary?
b. Did you submit a day-by-day itinerary?
c. Did you submit proofs that your son is dependent on you financially.... school fees, etc?
d. What exactly did your friend write as the reason to invite you?


Cheers

A. Any suggestions how much shall I declare? I have 11,000 CAD when I applied.
B. No. I did not submit one. How to prepare this one? please help
C. I only submitted his birth certificate. what documents shall I produce? School registration? shall i present cheques that i issued to the school payment for balance for his school fee? most the time i pay his fee in cash
D. Here is the exact reason
"we would like to invite luke to visit us, especially our daugthers who are close to him when they were still in the Philippines. Luke has been our close friend for 6 years.

Hi Luke08!

We have the same situation. I applied Jan 16 and got refusal letter last week. I declared 8,000 dollars as my allowance including airfares. I don't know what went wrong. Maybe I have not included cover letter to explain everything all the documents I submitted. I am planning to reapply 2nd week of February.

Question: what are documents that you have included for your business? Did you include business permit, COR etc.

Hoping you'll address the ff reasons that visa officer saw.

Good luck!
