Good day!
I was invited by my brother to visit Canada and I applied for a tourist visa, I applied last 29th of November 2017 and received the result today 21st of December. My application was denied by them for following reasons:
- You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including :
- travel history
- family ties in Canada and in country of residence
- current employment situation
- personal assets and financial status
With the first one (travel history), I never been to any places outside of the Philippines.
Family ties, I have my brother in Canada and he is already a citizen there, My sister is legally working there too and have a working permit. I have a family here too. I am married with 2 daughters
Current employment situation, I am an employee of a private company for 2 years until now and they even provided me a COE (certificate of employment) with a purpose of visa application, and I saved all of my leave which can cover my 2 weeks of stay there if granted.
Personal assets, I don't have my own house for i am only renting, I don't have a car, I don't have any valuable properties (I only have my appliances
)
Financial status, I thought I have enough as my bank statement shows that I have at least 5000 cad (P200,000)
I don't know if I need to contest the decision they made or to re-apply and pay the fees again.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
