Hi,
@Eveslm @ubfx
I am a permanent resident in Canada, who migrated with my husband, and 2 kids (eldest was born in Canada in 2011) last 2017. We miss our parents especially the kids so we wanted them to come here for a visit. Also, I just had my youngest baby last year and so was hoping they could see him for the 1st time and be here to celebrate his
1st birthday in November and hopefully Christmas too.
My parents had applied for Tourist Visa but have been denied with these statements mentioned:
"- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary
resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary
resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
- You had provided insufficient proofs of the sources of your assets.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements."
it was our fault that we just submitted the required documents in the checklist without exerting much effort on providing a sop nor us sending an invitation letter. In all honesty, the family had been overconfident in the application as they had been given 10 years multiple visa in the US and had been there like every year for visit during the time we were still back home. So the thought of officers having doubts in their overstaying or not returning home was out of the question, so we thought.
They just submitted bank statements and didn't even submit their property documents as my brother who applied for TRV last year has been granted with 10 yrs multiple TRV visa here in Canada with the same documents just submitted. It was so wrong of us to assume the same thing and had regretted it a lot.
The question now, are these:
1. would reapplying for TRV with now cover and invitation letter as well as financial docs like house and land properties suffice? (
Hope someone could give samples for each too...)
2. if we're going to send an invitation letter, would it affect if we"re still in LICO as we're new and just establishing here? We are just renting. My husband and I are both working AND studying at the same time.
3. would it be better to write 1 month or 3 months to cover stay from october till dec to celeberate birthday and christmas with us?
Note that they're both are retired and dad on pension back home. As well as my eldest brother and youngest sister (with a son) are still there so family ties are still strong. They would really be here just for a visit and no plans of overstaying and living here. They just wouldnt want to their grandson's 1st birthday and Christmas, to help out in taking care of the kids while I finish my school and get my license in October, and for leisure.
Please help. Your expertise would be very much appreciated.
