I know there are some really knowledgable people on this forum and I would be eternally grateful if someone can assist me.
Here is the situation, my mother (68 years, widow) has previously been to Canada a few years ago and she got her first visa from the Canadian HC in London, although she has a Pakistani passport but she was visiting me and my brother who live in the UK. My mother is really well travelled, and have several visas on her passport including USA, UK, Schengen, Canada (twice) etc.
She applied for the Canadian visa the second time from Pakistan and was successful in getting it, but unfortunately she could not travel on the visa as my sister was not well (we had already purchased non refundable tickets which went to waste) and now last month she applied for the TRV the third time and they refused her, with the usual generic reasons, saying that they considered her ties to Canada and country of residence, her financial situation and economic condition of the country....their financial concern was a bit surprising as we showed more money this time than we did the last two times (I am her sponsor), also she went to Canada the first time and came back after two weeks, the second time she didnt even travel on her visa...so why do they think she will not come back the third time? All her children and grand children live outside Canada, she has property and responsibilities in Pakistan and would definitely return.
Now my mother's sister lives in Canada with rest of her family, and her sister due to old age cannot travel. Also worth mentioning that I hold Canadian PR but live in the UK and planning to move to Canada later this year. I would like my mother to visit me as well, which she does in the UK (both me and my brother have lived here for more than ten years and she has been visiting us since, with all respect to the immigration laws).
Please can someone advise on what will be the best way to proceed, some people on this forum mentioned that once refused it is difficult to get the visa again. I dont really understand the reasons behind her refusal and would like to reapply.
Thank you so much for your time, greatly appreciated!
