TRVL visal refusal advice

[ezzy104]

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend applied for a TRVL visa as an extended family member and was rejected because :

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.

Just a bit of background, She is from China and we did previously try in 2019 as well which also got rejected, but for many more reasons than above. This time we did it together and put all the information we could gather, which only came back with this reason, so that's good.

In regards to this specific reason, we have the following information to address this :

- Letter of employment
- Her bank statements showing her assets (Just investment account and cash in her bank, no house or car)
- Statements showing income

My suspicion is the refusal might be because she does not have any major assets and the purpose of the visit is to visit me and that we are engaged (This was in the letter of invitation).

Does anyone have any advice on how I can address this point?

Does anyone have any advice on how I can address this point?

- Does she own any property?
- Does she have previous travel to countries requiring visas such as the US or UK?
- How much of a bank balance did she show?
- How long a trip is she requesting?
- Does her employment letter from her employer indicate the planned dates of her trip?
- Yes, the fact you are engaged weakens her profile since it makes IRCC concerned she has plans to marry you while here and then remain long term.

Hi Scylla,

Thank you for the reply.

1 - No property
2 - Not to the US or UK, but mostly Southeast Asia (Phillipines, Thailand, Korea, Japan, etc)
3 - 40k cash and around 50k investements, we also stated that I will be providing financial support for her stay and provided my investments and bank statements as well (150k + 75k salary)
4 - One month
5 - Yes, the employment letter indicates the planned trip and approval from the employer

I'm not really sure how to address this requirement other her buying a house (not an option...), it's pretty vague.

Any suggestions or has anyone else been able to address something similar and succeeded?
