TRV rejected

[monkey0104]

Hi everyone.

I just apply for a TRV to visit my friend in Canada, but it is rejected. The reasons are below:


1. your family ties in canada and in your country of residence (I'm an international student in Australia. I provided my parents' working and incoming certificate and property certificate. I also provided their bank statements and mine)

2. purpose of visit (To visit my friend and stay with her in her house. My friend is also an international student in Canada. She sent me a letter of invitation along with the copy of her passport and Canada visa and her study enrollment in university.)

3. your current employment situation (I'm a full-time student, I don't know why there is this reason. I provided my academic transcript and certificate of enrollment.)

4. your personal assets and financial status (I attached my bank statement. There are about 7,000 to support my visit. I also attached certificate of deposit of my parents and their supporting letter.)

5. i am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds, including income or assets, to carry out your stated purpose in going to canda or to maintain yourself while in canada and to effect your departure (same as 4. I also provided my parents' vehicle licenses.)

6. you have not provided sufficeint documentation to support your/your host's income and assets. (same as 4. I also provided the copy of business license of enterprise where my father works.)


Can anyone help me?

What should I do next? I'm feeling pretty low and despondent.

Thanks a ton in advance.

Sorry to read this, but it looks like the VO sees very few ties to your country that would pull you back. As you are an international student in another country now, you have limited ties to your home country to begin with (no property, wife or child, no employment). This is the major reason for refusals. There is nothing apart from your university enrolment that would encourage you to leave Canada before the visa expired. All assets, apart from your $7,000 bank statement, are in your parents' names. Cars are not considered in asset calculation. I cannot think of any way to reverse the decision until your situation changes and you can demonstrate strong ties to your home country. Good Luck.

The above poster is right you have a very limited chance of proving strong ties to your country of residence. The only thing you can do is get a letter from your university indicating youre a full time student and you have paid your tuition fees for the next term/year in full. But again I feel you don't have a strong enough case dont reapply if you are not able to overcome the above mentioned refusal reasons. usually "the ties" refusal reason supersedes everything else even if you showed $3k but have strong ties you would have been issued a visa....good luck!

Thanks a lot

It seems really hard for me to get the visa.

My friend also applied TRV in the same consulate a few days before me, but he got the visa quite fast and successful. And he only provided his bank statement, letter of inviting and certificate of enrollment. He is also an international student. We are from the same country. So maybe I'm not luck enough.

Thanks again for all your replies.

Yes

But I cannot select curriculum now. So I cannot pay tuition fees for next semester.

Maybe I can only go to Canada to visit my friend when I graduate and have a job. That's not a short time...

Thank you for your advice

hi shaznaz75,

I have also plans of visiting my sister and an aunt in canada next year and now preparing the documents I might need for TRV. I dont have investments nor assets nor house ownership to show to the VO, but all I have is my hard-earned money for the travel. My sister will be shouldering all the expenses I might incurred during my 2-week visit. I have strong ties here in the Philippines, my parents and 3 siblings are here. I have good work here. I'm in the company I've been working for 5 years already. I have visited Singapore and returned home on the date specified. With all of these, do you think I will get an approval?
I know and I've read of many posts saying citizens from Asia are having hard time in getting TRV approval. I just hope and pray that everything will be okay.

Thank you for your advise!

Having family and steady employment is a good start to show ties. They will want proof that you can support yourself in Canada even if your sister is willing to pay for your expenses. Evidence of continuing employment is also important so get a letter from your boss outlining your vacation leave and expected date of return to work. It is always hard to say whether one can provide enough evidence to satisfy the VO of one's ties to home without property ownership, bank balance, travel history, well paying job, children and spouse and even THEN..... Just provide all the things you can think of that will draw you back to home. Invitation letter that doesn't make it sound more like you will want to overstay. Personal letter including your reasons for wishing to travel and itinerary. Good luck.

thank you so much Pippin.. I will take note of that..
I work for a company here in the Philippines but the host company is in Canada, my boss is in Toronto.. Do you think it will be a good idea to include in my itinerary that I will also be visiting our office there?.. I can get a letter from my boss about my 2-week vacation leave (though I may opt to work there if I wish to extend then go back here after a month or so)

I don't know how to answer this question with any authority. My gut feeling is that it might be easier to get a TRV if this was a work related trip just to meet with company officials, orientation, training, etc. I don't know how you are going to work there and stay for longer if you come in on a 2 week family vacation. Perhaps you should start a new topic and ask for advice as this doesn't relate to TRV rejected now. Good luck.

thanks Pippin..
I might not include in my itinerary anything related to my plans of visiting our host company in Canada, it might sound like I want to overstay..
I will probably meet my boss there, have family vacation and return to Philippines, that's all..
Thanks again..

If the host company is in Canada, you should be prepared in case the VO has questions about it.

Does the host mean my friend in Canada? She is a full-time student and have no job. She will only share her room with me when I'm there for a short time. And I will cover all the other expense. She mentioned this information in the invitation letter.

Is it necessary to provide my friend's bank statement even she doesn't cover my daily expense?

Thanks again ;D

Sorry, the comment is meant for iamcherrie. By host company I am referring to a business.

From experience with TRVs, if you live elsewhere, then ties to your country of residence take precedence. The Canadian VO is only interested in whether you will leave Canada at the end of your visit. Whatever you do after leaving is no longer their problem.

2. Purpose of visit - reasons like graduation, weddings, visiting family, etc are stronger but it seems you are just visiting for pleasure, so it might help your case to have an actual itinerary of places you will visit. e.g. booked tours, museums, etc.

Is she just a friend or girlfriend? ;D hehe I wonder if the VO was also wondering about this.

3. They want to be sure you won't work illegally while in Canada. If you have been a student for less than 1 -2 full academic years, then you haven't established strong ties in Australia and can easily re-settle elsewhere. The US embassies are known to reject visitor visas for such students.

Are you doing great in school? An A student is more likely to return and complete their degree than say, an average student or one who has failed classes.

6. By host, they mean your friend in Canada. They want to see her bank statement and evidence that she can actually support you if you fall on hard times. A copy of the lease of her house/apartment will also convince them that she has accomodation for you.

How long is your trip? $7000 may not be enough if you plan to stay for months.

Hi SenoritaBella,

Thanks.. I will be considering that.. I must be prepared also in case VO might ask anything about our host company in Canada though my visit is really purely to see my sister..
