TIES IN HOME COUNTRY FOR CANADA TRV

[MEHAR KASIM]

HI all, i have a question - my husband has applied for canada TRV from Australia. we have got invitation letter n everything from her sister who is canadian citizen. His canada visa was rejected twice in the past 15 years . However his circumstances are changed now . Now we dont own anything - we rent house ( not included any rent lease in his application) and my husband is a uber/taxi driver and can not get a letter from employer/payslips etc etc. Basically we have no proof of ties to the home country. what are the chances of getting his visa approved? Moreover we want to settle in Canada and want to go there as a visitor and once we are there apply for work permit. Please help thanks

As far as I know, Australians don't require TRV. Also you can't apply for a work permit inside Canada.

Thanks for your reply- My husband is not Aus citizen - But I am so I dont need it but he does. are there still chances for him to get his visa even though no proof of coming back?

The chances of him getting a TRV are low as he does not have adequate ties to Australia + he has had two previous TRV refusals in a span of 15 years.

He may get lucky if he is able to prove:
1. His employment ties + an income
2. He is visiting alone without you/any other family member
3. He has a rent lease in his name + 2-3 months rent receipts
4. He can pay for the visit
5. He has traveled to other visa countries such as the US/ UK/Schengen
6. He has property/land/other assets and finances in his country of origin (in the country which has issued his passport)

He must also provide evidence of his immigration status in Australia when he applies

To settle in Canada, he must apply for immigration through one of the economic streams if he is eligible

Thanks Bryanna, Thanks alot for your reply.
1.He drives a cab which is a type of self employment and no pay slips etc for that to prove a proper job
2. Me and my son will be going with him- not he is not visiting alone.
3. Rent lease with the land lord is only verbal and he has not included any rent receipts or letter from the land lord in his application
4.he has plenty of savings - plenty of money in bank
5.He has never traveled to any other countries a except India
6. He has not included any property docs of his name in India in the application
7. He is a permanent Resident of Aust.

He has got an invitation letter from his sister to come for her kid's birthday and their bank account details statements which has got plenty of money in there and included that ( since his parents are in canada too visiting) to see n reunion with his family.

Will his PR status in Australia only help him getting the visa? Is having lot of money helps to get the visa?
waiting your reply. Thanks alot

I suggest your husband must include:
1. Weekly payment statements from Uber (for 2-3 months) + 1-2 years tax returns + 4 months bank statements + business activity statements + evidence he is registered as a contractor with Uber

2. IMO, you and your son must not apply for TRV. Your husband must apply alone by indicating you and your son as the family ties to return to.

Are you employed? How old is your son? Is he in school?

3. Rent lease + 2-3 months rent receipts issued by the landlord + highlight these payments in the bank statement

4. Property ownership documents of the India property + valuation (self valuation or by a property assessor) + current indicative market rates + most recent property tax receipt

5. Meeting up/purpose of visit for a birthday normally doesn't work. He must include a day-by-day itinerary for meeting family/friends and sightseeing with expense estimates.... and prove that he can pay for this itinerary + airfare

6. 2-3 months credit card statements

7. Do explain any large deposits/transfers in his bank account

8. His immigration/PR status will help

9. Any financial investments

Thanks Bryanna,

He has already submitted his paper application to the Visa office in Sydney so nothing above can be added now unless VO asks for more docs.

1. He is taxi driver so can not produce any of the above mentioned. not included any tax returns either.

2. He has already mentioned in his application that me and our son will be accompanying him - CAN NOT BE CHANGED NOW.

3. I work full time and I was not able to have my leave granted for work - SO NO LEAVE APPROVAL OR EMPLOYMENT LETTER FROM MY WORK TO SUPPORT HIS APPLICATION . OUR SON IS 1 YRS OLD AND DOES NOT GO TO SCHOOL YET.

4. HE DID NOT INCLUDE ANY RENT RECEIPTS etc. Since most the of time rent is paid in cash so no proof of any bank transaction etc.

5.NOTHING FOR PROPERTY DOCS FROM INDIA IS INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION.

6. PURPOSE OF THE VISIT IS ONLY TO ATTEND BIRTHDAY PARTY AND BE WITH HIS FAMILY FOR SOMETIME. NOTHING ELSE IS PLANNED IN TERMS OF VISIT ANY OTHER PARTS OR OTHER FRIENDS IN CANADA.

ONLY ITINERARY OF OUR AIR TICKETS WAS INCLUDED WHICH WAS FOR 4 WEEKS - NOT BOOKED THE TICKETS YET THOUGH

HE HAS ONLY ASKED FOR 4 WEEKS VISA THOUGH NOT A LONG TIME

7. HE HAS INCLUDED ALL BANK STATEMENTS STAMPED BY THE BANK

9. HE HAS NO FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS IN AUS OR IN INDIA AT ALL

DOES HAVING PR STATUS IN AUS CAN BE THE ONLY THING TO ASSURE HE WILL GET HIS VISA?
DOES HE HAVE ANY CHANCE ON THE BASIS OF HAVING ENOUGH MONEY SHOWN BY THE HOST AND BY HIM IN BANK ACCOUNTS AND BEING AN AUS PR ?

Thanks

 

[Bryanna]

As you have already applied, you'll have to wait for decisions. Maybe your husband's Australia PR status + adequate bank balance will help. Most likely not. However, it is difficult to predict

 

[MEHAR KASIM]

Ya waiting for the decision is the only thing now- Thanks for your time Bryanna.
One more thing- If he gets his visa and we go to Canada- I will have to leave my job and once we reach there do they ask me about my employment at the port of entry? Will they check if I have ties to return?
Will they ask If I work or not etc etc?

Please advise

Thanks

My husbands first two Canada Visa refusals was on his old passport- he has a new passport now- I believe that Visa office will have all the records no matter if a passport number has been changed now. Is it right? They will still be able to access his visa application history?

Yes, IRCC has his entire application history in its database. It doesn't matter if he is currently using a different passport

Dear Mehar,
I don't want to rain on your parade but don't you think what you're doing is a bit unethical? Firstly you've not been granted leave from your job and you do not have an intention to return to Australia. In fact you've stated that you intend to apply for a student visa or work permit once you have entered Canada. Your husband also intends to do the same. So there are some implications to what you're doing:

1) In the event that you and your husband are granted a visa, you both will lie to the CBSA officer that you're visiting the country temporarily (which is not exactly your intention). Please consider the ethical as well as religious implications of this.

2) I'm not sure if you are quitting your job in Australia or whether you intend to abscond. Once again, this is something serious.

3) Thirdly, it is through actions of people like you that many bona fide visitors are refused entry to Canada. You abuse the system and other people who seriously wish to visit Canada as sincere tourists/visitors are denied entry. I personally faced visa rejection twice for a family member because of visa officers' wariness regarding abusers of TRVs.

So please think about what you're doing; There are ethical ways of moving to Canada like applying for Express Entry or Student Visas from abroad. Please explore these options instead of going ahead with what you're planning to do. Your actions will impact future TRV applicants so please do not take this matter lightly.

I am sure Bryanna will agree with most of my points.
