TRV application INDIA - purpose medical treatment

[atinsehgal]

Guys

Got refusal on our visa.

Reason
You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at he end of your stay as temporary resident in reaching the decision, I considered several factors including:

Your personal assets and financial status

I am not sure what I have missed
Shown property
Pay slips
Bank account statements
Company's ITR

Can any one help since I need to go there for my son's treatment.
I have already paid registration fee.

Please advise.

 

[Pippin]

I am sorry. Order your GCMS notes. Having paid registration fees will not have an impact on the VO decision.

 

[atinsehgal]

I understand GCMS takes about 5-6 weeks.is this the maximum period or it takes less time.

I have booked my tickets in October 11th 2013.hence was worried if information in GCMS notes can be retrieved earlier

please advise,

 

[Pippin]

GCMS takes about a month normally. It is the physical file that takes two months and you don't need that in this instance.
What more do you have to show for financial proof that will strengthen your ties to home?

 

[atinsehgal]

Our family buisness
Parents
That's what all I can think of.

Any sponsorship from relative does it help

 

[Pippin]

Sponsorship? Is the relative living in Canada? You have to look at it from VO perspective for a TEMPORARY visa. What strengthens ties to home country??? Important to show that, NOT ties to Canada. Did you show what had to be done to keep your business running in your absence. Does it look like the business would function even if you overstayed or is it evident that you have to get back to it? Just a thought.
What NEW proof of financial assets do you have to add. If you reapply, you have to address the previous reason for refusal. Good luck.

Thanks Pippin

You know both me and my wife are very much depressed after today's refusal.

For us this therapy is a hope for betterment of our son.
To be honest my brain has stopped working and I am not even sure what can I'd o to convince a VO that We shall not overstay like any illegal immigrants.

By saying he is not convinced about our assets and Finance assists, I am not sure how to convince VO.

I have shown
a) recently acquired property in my name and mother's name about 50000 Cad$
B) office space in my name and mothers name about $ 15000 Cad$
C) joint property in name of my father and mother about 150000 cad $
D) office space in fathers name about 15000 cad$

I have not sown my fathers financials like mutual fund etc
I am their only son and everything would be mine.

Do I need to convince VO on that effect.

I am confused.

 

[Pippin]

I don't want to dishearten you further, but a lot of the assets aren't in your name yet. If you will inherit them they are still not ties to your home country. Do you see what I mean? You could walk away from your country and you would still inherit them. It's not like you would be walking away from anything. I know the VO hasn't refused on purpose of visit, but I wonder if there is a chance that you might succeed with a compelling cover letter with scientific evidence of the benefit of this treatment, letter from your child's doctor advising it, and affidavit from your parents as to your "total assets" and how they want their grandchild to have the opportunity to benefit from this care so they can see him grow up healthier. The only hesitation I have is the possibility that the treatment locale could be seen as a strong time to Canada if your child requires more than one session. What resources for your child's rehabilitation exist in your country. Can you elaborate on those opportunities that would augment the Canadian treatment once he returns home?

 

[atinsehgal]

Thanks Pippin.

We dont have this kind of rehabilitation facility in India. Thats why we want to get 5 weeks treatment and may be follow up in next 6 months again.

I can get a letter from parents on assets etc.

However getting a letter from treating Doctor is next to impossible in India.

Any advise

 

[Pippin]

I don't understand your medical system. Why isn't it possible to get a doctor's letter? Do you have scientific data supporting this treatment?

 

[atinsehgal]

Hi!

Can you guide as to whenever we reapply do we enclose all documents again?
Also is their any standard format for reapplication say some kind of covering letter.Please provide the same if possible.

Since we were refused visa on basis of Your Personal Assets and Financial Status, I had not included details of under construction property in joint name with my wife with fair market value of about CAD$15000.Can this also indicate strong ties for both of us.
Also can I include affidavit for financial support from my parents -

I will also include letter from son's Therapist on his condition apart from letter from grandparents as advised by Pippin.

Another letter from mother that I am legal heir for this business.

Another question is that what money is good money since cost of treatment in only 5000 CAD$ and I have paid around 2000 CAD$ already apart from accommodation being provided is free, the only cost being transportation and food cost.

Any other suggestions to help me improve my application.

 

[atinsehgal]

Also for this joint property in my and my wife's name we are having a home loan running as well.

will that help

 

[Pippin]

I am not an expert. These are just my ideas from reading your post. You reapply with all docs as it will be evaluated by a different officer in most cases. Yes include anything that shows positive reasons to encourage your return home. From what you have told me, I am not sure that the financials are strong enough to overcome the VO's feeling they do not create a strong tie to home. Just do what you can do.
As a parent I can understand you want to do all you can to help your son. If the treatment is only offered half a world away it makes me wonder why? This is why I have suggested providing medical backup and scientific research to support your rationale for spending $5000 plus travel expenses which could be almost the same again. This amount represents a large percentage of the financials you have stated. Without strong research to show the potential benefits, it could make the VO think you want to come to Canada to stay.
What is the treatment being proposed, how did you hear about it, and what proof do you have of its effectiveness. I think if you can convince the VO of the necessity for this treatment to make a difference to your son's health it may help justify your request. The only negative would be if the treatments were of an ongoing nature it would strengthen your ties to Canada. It is a real bind but I still think showing that this is a legitimate medical treatment would strengthen your overall case in addition to the financials.
What do you think?

Another thought came to my mind just now does an immigration lawyer helps.
Can any one suggest a good lawyer in Delhi, India.

Thanks and regards
