Hi,
I live in Finland on work visa. I am citizen of Pakistan. I have lived in Finland for 6 years. Next year I will get Finnish citizenship.
I applied for TRV visitor visa on 26 December 2021. To my surprise, it was refused on 21 Febraury 2022.
The reasons were: Family ties to Canada & Finland (did not elaborate further), purpose of trip and immigration status in Finland.
I applied again on April 11, 2022 addressing these concerns. I also got a valid U.K. multiple entry visa this time. I showed my brother who also lives in Finland. This application has still not been processed.
At the time of application, I had no family in Canada. I emphasized it. But now my brother who lived in Finland has moved to Canada on PR from Express Entry. In this application, I gave travel dates as July 6 - July 20 with a purchased hotel + flight booking. I sent a webform stating that my reason for visit is still valid even though travel dates have passed. I have not recieved any response on webform (sent on July 4).
I have one question now:
1. Should I send a new webform stating that my brother has moved to Canada? or not? I want to be fully honest and truthful but I also know that having family in Canada may again result in negative decision.
If any expert can give some guidance, that would be great. Thanks.
