Hi, nice to be on this forum and I hope I'll get answers to some nagging questions regarding Canada Visa denial based on section 179 (b).
I applied online for a Visitor Visa for my spouse and I sometime in November, 2019. I got a letter of invitation for us to visit Canada from a childhood friend who is a Canada citizen. It was our intention to stay in Canada for about 10 days before proceeding to the United States for the remainder of our vacation, and all these facts were stated on the application. On January 14th, 2020, I got a notice of denial on the following grounds:
That we would not return to our country based on family ties in Canada and our home country, based on purpose of visit, and based on Financial status and personal assets.
I was not able to provide bulky documents online because of space limitation; only investment certificate of approximately $10,000 Can. and proof of place of work. It was also stated in my application that I have worked in the same Federal government establishment for over 18 years and still work there.
I have visited the UK on official capacity alone and my wife and I have visited the United States in 2012 and 2018, and we currently have a 2 year US Visa that will expire in February, 2021.
Believing the refusal was because I could not prove I had so much ties to my country to make us come back, I reapplied on paper on 30th January, 2020 so that I could present all necessary documents which included:
- Invitation from my friend, House documents (on Mortgage), Land documents ( 2 undeveloped plots), Letter of Introduction from my employer (Federal Government Agency), my bank statements and my wife's bank statements for previous 4 months, including investment certificates (with a combined sum of over $30,000 Can.).
Unfortunately, our application was refused on the grounds that:
We would not return to our country due to family ties in Canada and our country, based on the limited employment status in my Country, based on my employment status, based on my personal assets and financial status.
Without trying to dictate to the Visa officers how they should do their jobs, I find it ridiculous their grounds for denial based on the documents I provided.
I am not sure if I am ready to take any further steps regarding this application. please advise.
