TRV refused
- Thread starter samk03
- Start date
Its your call if you wanna apply or not but IMO you should order GCMS notes so that you can address all the points raised by VO
1. Did you prove the conference is in line with your M.Phil studies? And, how it will help your thesis and/or study program?
2. What documents did you provide for the conference + registration?
3. Have you visited other countries for similar conferences or was it for sightseeing?
4. Which year of the M.Phil. program are you currently in? When does your next semester commence? Have you paid the fees for the next semester and/or do you receive a grant/stipend/scholarship?
5. Did you provide evidence of your part-time employment?
6. Do you live on campus accommodation? Or do you live with your family?
7. As for your previous travel history: Did you prepare a 'Travel History' explanation in chronological sequence? Were these visits paid for by you or someone supported your visits financially? Did you visit all these countries in the last 10 years? Any valid visas?
8. For your Canada TRV, did you include a day-by-day itinerary with detailed expense estimates to justify a 10-days' visit? Did you submit provisional hotel bookings?
Cheers

You must include evidence and explanations for:
Attending the previous conferences + that your expenses were paid for by sponsors for those conferences + a 'Conference Travel History' explanation (in a tabular format, visa details + entry/exit dates + short details of the conferences attended).
Also, do include a synopsis of your M.Phil. thesis that you're working on.
Do include some suitable supporting evidence to back how this conference will help your study program + how the other conferences helped too
You must include the registration receipt + web pages for details of the conference and any contact pages + proofs of financial sponsorship (provisional hotel and flight bookings + sponsor invitation letter + sponsor bank statement, etc)
Include these details in the 'Conference Travel History' explanation.
Also include prints of the web pages and the web URLs for these press publications.
September is just around the corner. You must include evidence that you have enrolled for the next semester i.e. proofs of tuition fees + leave approval letter from your college/university which would also state you are a bona fide student + recent mark sheets/transcripts + student ID + any campus/off-campus rent agreement and 2-3 months' rent receipts + similar proofs
You'll need to also include 4-6 months' salary slips + bank statements that confirm you have been receiving a salary + a leave approval letter stating you'll have your part-time job when you return + tax returns
Do include evidence that you and your family live at the same address + proofs if they are financially dependent on you or for their well-being + why you must return to support them (in any way).
You must prepare a detailed day-by-day itinerary to prove why you really need to visit for XX days + detailed expense estimates..... and prove you can afford the airfare and this itinerary (with your own finances even if you have a sponsor).
If you have credit cards then do include 2-3 months' credit card statements (low dues) and mention you will bring these cards as back-up for your visit.
I recommend you apply online this time because VFS Pakistan has been refusing to accept critical evidence of applicants' strong ties for strange reasons which make sense only to themselves
1. Do check your application thoroughly for any gaps, spelling mistakes, etc.
2. Prepare a consolidated PDF file for evidence/explanation in the same sequence as the questions in the TRV application form
3. Do prepare a cover letter: Previous refusal reasons and how I have addressed them + purpose of my visit + short itinerary and funds available for my visit + my strong ties to Pakistan (study + employment + financial + family) + My previous travel history for attending conferences + why I must return to Pakistan by XX date
4. Give reference numbers to evidence/explanations..... and cross-refer these documents wherever possible
