Judicial review won't fetch you anything...Its a long tedious process involving loads of money spent on lawyers.
Although, as you mentioned that your case was very strong, think what can be changed from the previous application.
Aged parents, properties and sabbatical from employer reasons won't make even slightest of difference to the VO.

If I re-apply for visa, these drawbacks would still remain there, and there is a high chance that I would still be refused.
I think, despite being expensive and long process, judicial review is the only option I have because there is nothing 'legally' wrong with having PR brothers in Canada. Visa officers, on the other hand, would not agree with that

agreed with the drawbacks.
BUT, why would they question source of funds? My father is clearly a wealthy person and he himself deposited that money in my account (All proofs of his financial background were attached.)
On top of that, the money remained untouched in my account since 8 months till now. No one, who would have taken money from other sources, could keep the money for that amount of period. Therefore, I believe that I can easily challenge this particular issue in the judicial review.

Now, coming to the drawbacks, you tell me, what specific thing I could do about them?
I can't change my past, can I? Visa refusals are there, and they would remain there. All I can do is to explain why they happened and why they are not relevant in the current application -- and that is what did. I wrote a three pages letter explaining each refusal in detail and how I had rectified every situation in current application.
And as for the PR's of my brothers, again, whatever the route they followed to get PR, I cannot change it. What my brothers did does not define what I would do. They did that in light of their own circumstances and ambitions. And they did NOT do anything illegal.

Agreed, that if we look through the visa officers eyes, he would see them as huge drawbacks. However, none of my drawbacks 'legally' allows a visa officer to blatantly refuse the application.

To be honest, I don't know what I can add in my new application to change the circumstances. As I said, there is no way I can change my drawbacks. Therefore, judicial review is the only route I see.

If you have any advice, I am all ears.

Thanks

Hey Haris, agree with every bit of your word. The perspective which I mentioned is ideally a VO's judgement.
And also I know that there is nothing much that you can change...
As per the financial theory, maybe thats just an additional point they added to your case.
Please think, if they add only one reason it becomes too obvious and easy to be challenged, isn't it?
But yes, in your case re-application will not be the solution and you are probably right about the review.

All the Best

I forgot to submit one old passport, so submitting now and explaining my travel history in detail as well. for ties submitting FRC along with property

It's amazing to see that when the VO is not convinced on one point, he/she would just tick the other one's as well on which they have the slightest of doubt as well.

Anyway, do share your gcms notes with me

Not I haven't

But from what I have known, it takes almost around 30 calender days at least
 
How do you apply for CAIPs ?
I read it can only be applied through someone with a stay permit in canada, you sign an authorization form to the person and he/she applies on your behalf or through a lawyer in canada.

What are the facts?

Its really surprising they don't just tick what relates to your case but add few to it.
And why wont canada just give you the VOs reasons but you have to apply to get that, that makes no sense to me because thats your grounds of refusal but you wont attach it to the applicants letter.

I read UK gives you all the details

yes, but it does not mean you have to have a frnd/relative in canada. There are plenty of third parties offering service from $15 to $40. Check caipsgcms.com. cheapest ($15) and the most expensive is caips.ca/ ($40).

After how much time they send you refusal? And your previous visa rejections from those countries makes a wrong image on VO. Finances are not always everything.
