Refused visa application based on 179(b)

You will be able to see rejection reasons in detail, for example (this is the case where my cousin mother's visa was rejected).

"Application and supporting documents reviewed. The applicant is seeking entry into Canada to visit her daughter. The following information was noted during my review of the documentation presented: - The applicant has limited or minimal funds according to documentation provided; -Host mentions he will cover the costs but no supporting document is provided; - The applicant has a declared no previous travel history. As a result of my careful review and considering all relevant factors presented, on balance, I am not satisfied the applicant is a genuine visitor who would comply with the conditions of temporary entry. Application is refused."

So, you can clearly see what Visa Officer's concerns are, you addresses those concerns and hopefully it will be approved.

Thank you very much for sharing the details of the GCSM note. It helps me a lot to expect what we could gain from the note.

It is a reason. Tourist visas are not supposed to be used as bridging points to PR applications. If the visa officer feels she could be coming to Canada to stay, then she is not a genuine visitor and the visa is refused. This happens a lot.

True, but I believe visitor visa should be allowed to be used for people visiting each other to get to know each other before committing to a marriage. After all, how are you expected to know each other before marrying someone from another country?

It is really hard and expensive to remove a person who has entered Canada. The government also doesn’t/shouldn’t get involved in suing people who didn’t support visitors who entered Canada on vacation. If people can’t pay their trip on their own they will likely be refused a visa to enter Canada. Like many others if you want to marry a foreign national you’ll have to sponsor them while they live in their home country.

Thanks for the insight!

It doesn't really matter what you believe... the law is the law.

By travelling to their country.
