TRV for dependent Children

[itscoezy]

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know are TRV's looked at the same for dependent children? My SO is going through the process of being a permanent resident and we were wondering about the possibility of his children coming to Canada later for a visit only.
My SO has already been denied 2 times for reasons that do not make sense so I'm wondering if his daughters will be too as they will have their dad in Canada as a tie to not leaving the country...
Or is there anything we can do in order to make sure they can still visit?
Thoughts?

Depending on the reason for refusal (an admissibility issue) this could certainly affect children if the inadmissibility continues to exist.

The reasons for refusal of your SO might help answer this question better.

The reasons for refusal were the following:
-Financial, didn't think he could support himself while there ( we wanted to go for 3 weeks and had 3700 Canadian in the bank and explained we were staying with family with 0 expenses but the flight tickets) funny enough we are still living off the 3700 we told them about 9 months ago.
-Not enough assets in mexico (we showed 2 pieces of land that he owns as well as he owns a house, everything paid off.)
-Ties in Mexico (All his family live here so i'm not sure why they put this as a reason for refusal.)
-Ties in Canada (Again not sure why they put this as a reason as he hasn't even met my family, that was the reason for the trip. he doesn't know anyone there.)

And those were all the reasons. They all did not make sense to us at all, I felt we had a pretty good case compared to others that I had read about who were approved with 2000 dollars who had the same ties and even less assets. I guess it depends on the VO entirely.

So he's definitely not inadmissable but it worries me that the kids might have the same treatment, as if they denied him for those reasons they have better reason to deny the kids I would think since they actually DO know someone in Canada and of course won't have any money at all - we would be paying for everything.

Thanks

Based on the questions I would say that there may have been concern about a refugee claim being made.

Also though financial reasons are an inadmissibility - a report can be written at a port of entry to exlude if there is a belief that someone is unable to support themselves when seeking entry to Canada.

In those circumstances it would result in a 1 yr exclusion. Any accompanying foreign national children would also be excluded at the same time, but not barred for return on their own if approved for visa where required after confirming departure.

So if the parent of the child is found unable to meet financial needs requirements then certainly children could be refused entry if the visit is based on the same parent's ability to provide them with financial support while in Canada.

But he wasn't actually denied at the border, his visitors visa request wasn't accepted. So when we move to Canada he will be a permanent resident of Canada and when we apply for his daughters to come visit if they say no to their visa - they won't have a 1 yr exclusion will they, i'm confsued :S

So the belief was that he would not be able to support himself as a visitor or return home at the end of his stay so no dual intent because the VO did not believe him to be a genine visitor resulted in refusal of his visitor visa.

If he is eventually approved for a PR visa then he will seek entry to be landed, if successful his children may want to come visit. If they do then they would apply for visitor visas and need to meet the same financial requirements and prove to the VO that they will leave at the end of their visit.

Identical to your husband other than the PR application.

No exclusion, just a yes or no from the VO. So the final answer is, yes, children also need to meet the same criteria as adults for a visitor visa.
