Good day,
Received refusal for me and my spouse and child thru IRCC with this reason:
I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.
Reason:visit sister for Christmas, had invitation letter from her.
- from Philippines
- Have stable job at home (earning $6k annually)
- Have 4 bank accounts with around $20k total funds
- Have been granted multiple US and China visa, and have travel history to Southeast Asian countries as well
- Was granted visitor visa before in 2010 and was in Canada for 3 months.
- Applied for study visa 8 times since then and was refused. Could this be the main factor? (Already applied for GCMS)

Order GCMS notes. How long was the visit? Is your sister a citizen? Did you include job letter with approved leave for you and your spouse and child’s school letter for leave too? $20k is not a lot for a visit for 3 people factoring in airfare.
You have 8 refusals so yes it can be an issue. When were you last refused? And did you apply for study permit within a short period as 8 refusals are a lot. Now applying for a TRV shows a strong desire to come to Canada.
- Visit was only for 1 month; purpose was really just to visit my sister (my parents were also visiting her for the holidays) and tour a bit
- Sister is citizen
- Included certificate of employment of me and my spouse, child not yet in school
- First applied for student visa twice in 2013; applied 6 times between 2019-2021 (last refusal May 2021)
- Went to US 4 times between 2014-2017
That is a long visit for $20k. Your sister is in Canada and parents are visiting too. You have so many refusals since 2019. Consider applying without spouse and child if you want to see your sister. Assume spouse has same profile - travel history to US/Canada, job and hasn’t applied for permits before.
Thank you all for your inputs. I have a quick follow up question regarding documents. After filling out the online application form, in the documents section, the two mandatory documents requested are:
1. National ID
2. Passport
... and that's it. Is this normal and based on certain responses (for example, my father visited Canada in the last 5 years)? There is space for 'additional documents' but no specific request for Financials, invite letter from me etc.
Want to make sure I'm doing this right and not missing anything. Thanks!
I have been waiting nearly 5 months for visitor visa but my friend's sister just got her approved in less than one month!! *sigh
She submitted online on September 22nd 2022, did biometrics on October 11th, then passport request on October 18th!! *mind blown
We compared notes and she applied via IRCC portal (I applied via GCKey), both of us have never been to Canada, she has been to the US BUT she did not include that information in her application as she couldn't find her old passport that has the visa, and she submitted her biometrics in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia while I submitted in Singapore.
Now wondering if using the new portal really is better...

If she had visited the US, that may have factored in. Canada and the US share immigration data so she would have shown up in the database. If she visited the US, she may have been processed under CAN+ which is expedited processing.
What if the applicant has visited Canada in the last 5 years but not the US? Would that qualify them under the CAN+ program as well?
