Tourist visa for solo married traveller, good travel history, home ties

[Sumitshah4u]

Sorry to know that you and your family were refused.

Purpose of visit refusal makes sense because you have not visited visa-required countries earlier for family vacations + you don't have relatives/family in Canada. Basically, the question 'Why Canada?' was not answered.

I had visited US, UK, France, Italy, Singapore and UAE along with my wife in the past. I also gave a detailed itenary for Canada 12 day trip.
I also mentioned in cover letter that travelling to new countries is my passion.

No impact of your EE profile on your TRV refusal.



This could have impacted your refusal. BTW when was your H1B visa refused? What exactly was the reason for that refusal?
H1b was denied in 2017 due to employer project issues.


1. Do post the individual list of documents that each applicant had submitted.

2. Your ties: Property ownership? Employment ties? Dependent family members apart from your wife and kid? Financial investments? Any compelling reasons to return home after a short visit?

i am a VP at an invesment bank and need to return back to work after the trip. i showed bank statements, mutual funds, investments, income tax proofs, self owned property. i have my parents in india. all these were reason to come back shown as part of proof sent.

pls advice as i want to get a approval

It's not possible to advise without knowing the list of documents that each applicant submitted + the strong ties that I had asked in the previous post

You can say you love travel but you haven’t travelled very regularly to different countries in the past 10 years especially if you eliminate your business travel. Assume the addition of your EE profile is also creating some confusion. Are you checking out Canada to determine if you want to relocate?

 

[k.h.p.]

Why did you go from a solo traveller to applying for your entire family? It sounds like you thought it would help your application but it may not have.

no, this trip was purely for leisure.
In the past, i created a EE profile but found that my crs score is too less so dropped the idea.

yes, solo traveller would be considered a red flag for leisure trip. my family also was interested to travel so convinced them.
i thought a visa for entire family would be simpler as generally family go on vacation and not solo.

not sure why they were not convinced that i wont come back. they did not give a reason as financial status and travel history. their reason was purpose of travel . the purpose was tourism.

pls advice

Taking your whole family with you makes it look like you have no reason to return. Also, if they do not have a good travel history, their denial may affect your application. Bryanna told you this earlier, in the beginning of the thread. You may qualify on your own, but your family likely will not.

Seems a little strnage. I have strong ties and commitments to return back to my country with my family as per the docs i submitted.
In fact, in my many posts and visa consultant advices, they mentioned that going solo creates alarms as no solo person would go for a 2 weeks vacation wothout family. They would think that the person who try to find a job and then call his family later to settle down. That was the reason i filed together. Infact, there was another family like mine- who got the visa approval on the same day i got a deniel. They also submitted the same proofs.

I am totally clueless after seeing this family get it and we did not.

Well that's part of the mystery of visa applications. Going alone with a valid travel reason makes sense, and your family back home is a reason to return. Bringing them with you makes a refugee claim easier, or other methods of overstaying.

In this thread, it really doesn't seem like you have a strong and valid travel reason. It just seems like you want to get to Canada. You haven't articulated why you want to go to Canada and nowhere else.

It's time to stop saying that you are so flabbergasted that they denied you. They did. So either improve your application or go somewhere else.

Taking a while family on one visa often creates challenges if they have no ties and no travel history and no serious reason to travel.
