Many applications for a temporary visa (TRV) to Canada are rejected because the applicants don’t have bonds strong enough to make them return to the home country.
The form letter of refusal from Canada also advises against re-applying unless the applicant has some new evidence. Since most applicants have done the best job they can with the first application, and have no new evidence to offer, so they give up.
An acquaintance who works wit VOs in a Canadian embassy has a different take on this: apparently it CAN be useful to immediately re-apply, with the same application and same evidence. Here`s why.
The average VO has something like 45 seconds to assess each application for a TRV. Why so many applications? Partly because travel agencies will submit multiple applications for a single client to many countries, hoping for at least one approval out of the many refusals.
So the overworked VO will routinely refuse applications unless there is a compelling reason to approve. But if the applicant re-submits, challenging the VO’s reasoning in a cover letter, but essentially drawing the VO’s attention to the strong evidence already presented in the original application, then the VO has to pay more serious attention, and the chances of approval rise significantly. Essentially the applicant is taking his application out of the big pile of applications in the first in-basket and putting it in the smaller pile for special VO consideration.
At least that’s what my “insider source” says. So, if you want a TRV, apply early, giving yourself enough time to re-apply. If you really want to make the best case, give yourself time to get the CAIPS notes after the first refusal, then address those VO concerns in the new cover letter.
As a closing thought / question, I wonder if it would improve chances of approval if in the first cover letter you were to state that you are applying so far in advance of the travel date precisely to give yourself time to get the CAIPS notes, rebut, and re-apply
How much time is 'maximum amount of time'?Hi, I would like to apply for Canadian TRV visa and want to travel for maximum amount of time. I have a full time job, I'm studying, and have my mom to look after. I currently have $8000 in my bank account (no regular transactions) and $8000 as fixed deposit. Although my company (employer) is funding my trip as a bonus. What are the documents they need to provide and what are my chances of getting the visa approved? Do I need to show proof of my funds as well? Any help will be greatly appreciated as I want to do my best to get my visa approved.
Note enough information. How long a visit did you request? What family members were you leaving back home? What amount did you show in funds that's available to pay for your trip? Have you previously traveled to countries requiring visas such as the UK and US? What sort of job do you hold?Hi Team,
Iam from india & applied for canada TRV (offline ) through vfs center in hyderabad and it get forwarded through bangalore consuldate office on 27th june 2017, my purpose of visit is Tourism , I submitted Finance support documents, my salary slips, my family details, Leave letter from my office and everything which mentioned. I got refusal letter stating " OTHER REASON: your proposed travel is not reasonable in light of one or more of: your employment history, level of establishment, travel history and/or your travel plans.
I have submitted every supporting documet and still got refused, Im confused and planning to apply again, kindly give reason for sucessfull TRV
It's not surprising why you have been refused. As someone who has not traveled on short visits abroad, your intended first visit abroad of just 5 days + you booked/paid for hotel/flights + finances of just CAD 4300 + no relatives/family in Canada..... does not make you seem like a genuine tourist.I have requested to visit Toronto for 5 days, I showed my Up and down flight tickets , Hotel room tickets. Iam leaving my father & mother and they are old, im the only son. I Showed 4300 CAD in my account. I dont have travel history
