Re-applying for TRV after refusal

[vrahulan]

Hi everyone,

My wife applied for her TRV in November, 2016 and unfortunately it was refused. We had requested visa for the duration of my work permit, which was until December 2018. We got the below reason from CIC through ATIP.

"Considering economic conditions and employment prospects in home country, and taking into account factors including travel history, economic establishment and family ties, I am not satisfied that the applicant would respect the terms of admission as a temporary resident in Canada."

We had attached my payslips, employment letter, bank statements and invitation letter. From her side, we attached her bank statement, letter of requisition. We had also showed enough funds for the stay.


Current situation:
It has been two months since the visa refusal. My job situation has changed and I've moved to a new job (contract) at a big corporation and we intend to apply for a visa for 2-3 weeks. My wife's father owns a company in India and we missed attaching documents of financial support from her father in our initial application, which we would in this application. The plan is for her to visit Canada in March and we both have booked vacation during April in Thailand (I came to Canada soon after our wedding in August, which I intend to mention in my letter to the officer).

My question is about the strength of the new application and would there be any concerns raised considering we requested for a longer visa initially. We both are really anxious to ensure our application is strong this time around. Any inputs or suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,

It's not surprising why your wife was refused:
1. You work/live in Canada

2. She wants to stay with you until December 2018.... which is not something a typical visitor would want to do.

3. Based on your post, she has not demonstrated any reasons/ties to return to India.


Financial support from her dad will not work as she is married to you. Before you reapply:
1. Is your wife employed or enrolled in a study program?

2. Does she own property or have a lease agreement in her name?

3. How long does she want to visit this time? Purpose of her visit?

4. Does she have finances of her own, either locked-in or as liquid finances?

5. Does she have any previous travel history?


Cheers

1. No
2. Yes, the company is registered under her name
3. 3-4 weeks in the month of March. Purpose : Family visit, tourism (Vancouver) We are going to be attaching return tickets along with my ticket to India.
4. She has around $10,000 in her bank account
5. Been to Singapore once

Your wife must demonstrate some ties to India to improve her chances of being aporoved. She currently has none.

1. Is she can active partner in the company? Can she prove she is involved in the day-to-day management?

2. Does she file taxes every year/as stipulated by the tax rules (personal taxes and company taxes such as VAT, Service Tax, Professional Tax, etc)

3. Can she prove that the funds in her bank account were earned by her?

4. Can she prove some reason to return by a specific date? Apart from the intended visit to Thailand.

5. Do you have confirmed plane tickets and hotel bookings for Thailand?

6. She must specify fixed visit dates instead of a flexible 3-4 weeks.

7. Do not book plane tickets for her to/from Canada until a TRV is issued.

8. Unfortunately Singapore and Thailand do not count as Travel History. It would have helped if she had visited the US/UK/Schengen countries

Guys Hello,

I am Canada PR since just 6 months and want to call my mother on visitor visa, hence I had applied for her visa thru a travel agency but got rejected. Below are the supporting documents submitted along with application.

1. Visa Application form and Family information
2. Invitation letter from my cousin who is Canadian Citizen which had mentioned that all expenses will be taken care by him.
3. Mothers Bank balance of 2 Lakhs rupees.
4. Cousins bank balance

The reason for rejection mentioned by visa officer is as below

1. Travel history
2. Purpose of visit
3. Insufficient funds.

I want to again try applying for my mother's visa on my own without an agent. So this time we will be showing around 5 lakhs in her account, her 2 years back singapore visit. What additional information or different approach should I take?? Any covering letter should be included this time??

From the feedback I've received from my applications, show some strong ties in India such as Job, assets, liquid cash.....
Looks like the biggest area of concern for the officers is to establish if the applicant would go back.
Make sure it is a family visitor visa instead of a tourist visa. Also, mention some places you would be visiting in Canada during those two weeks.

There are no family visitor visa's, only the TRV. Tourism or family visit, the requirements are the same. Having family in Canada makes little difference for approval.
