Hi.
My mother is working in the United Arab Emirates and is a citizen of India. She has a small amount of savings but no property in her name. She has a bit of travel history and has visited the UK and Switzerland in the past. I am her only child.
I am a landed immigrant but am still living and working outside Canada. During the summer, I applied for a TRV for her from Dubai (she got a letter from her workplace stating that she was going on vacation along with proof of funds and other required docs such as bank statements, hotel booking, tickets, etc. for the visa application). The visa was refused based on the following reasons:
-immigration status in country of residence
-Purpose of visit
-Ties to your countries of residence
The GCMS notes say:
"PA is a national of India living in the UAE. PA is a widow. Currently under employment visa. PA has no option for permanent status in the UAE. Limited TH. Not satisfied with purpose. Not satisfied PA would depart after an authorized period of time."
I reapplied online and it got refused again for the following reasons:
-travel history
-Ties to your country of residence
-Purpose of visit
The GCMS notes say:
Widowed. 63 years old. Resident in UAE. Lmtd travel for tourism in July. To stay at ******** hotel. Not satisfied with BFs. Aplcnt has not demonstrated strong establishment & with lmtd travel & with no family or friends to visit. Not satisfied she has a compelling reason for this trip. Based on the information & docs presented, I am not satisfied PA is well established & as a result, I am not satisfied PA is a BF TR visitor who would leave CDA at the end of her authorized say. Refused.
I then requested one of my mom's cousins to send a letter of invitation which she sent along with her mortgage contract and Passport copy. I also attached the house rental contract, car registration card and a letter stating that she was only going for a vacation and is based in the UAE with her family. This time around she got a single entry TRV and was able to visit Canada for 2 weeks before returning to Dubai.
I now wish to take my mom along with me to Canada but as I am unsure about finding work immediately and actually want to study towards a Masters degree for a year, it seems doubtful that I will be able to apply for a supervisa for her as I will probably not have enough income to show for it. I would like to reapply for a TRV for her so that she can at least stay with me for a year; She can then go back to India and come back after a couple of months. So I need some suggestions:
1) Is there some way that I can make a strong TRV application for her so that she get's a multiple year multiple entry visa?
2) It is obvious that an invitation letter helps. Should I write her an invitation letter myself and attach a copy of my PR card ( I do not have a rental contract for Canada) or should I get my aunt to write another letter?
Or is there some other way?
