Yes. But it is the decision of IRCC. You don’t request.

- Start date
Hello group my mother hold a Visitor visa to canada for the last 3 years. She came to canada 4 times during that time( she never stayed more than 5 months for entry). Her visa expired last month. She just applied with Gkey portal and everything was updated very soon sept 20. 2022. Have 2 questions
1. Do you think that she having a canadian Visitor and traveling to canada will impact on having a positive answer from inmigracion, i mean being approved.?
2. Should she switch to new portal? Will applying on the new portal automatically cancels the old gkey application?
Thank u so much

People should stop pretending to be officers or that they have news from inside the IRCC.
What you are saying doesn’t make any sense, and its not logical. Before you make such a comment just think of how could you effect people decisions. You can talk about your own or known experiences, but to generalize and say 99% thats is not right
1) Yes, high chance of getting approved. (telling based on personal experience)
2) I heard applying on new portal cancels the previous one, BUT i am not sure. I applied on new portal and process was super easy
Hello, I got visitor visa refusal for my mother in India, reason being the following:
I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• You have significant family ties in Canada.
Applied on her behalf as a representative on Oct 15th, got refusal today. Mentioned visit plan for 21 days in feb 2023 with reason being family visit, with NOC and leave letter from her govt job mentioning the same dates, showed her funds in savings a/c 25k CAD, 6 months bank statements, 6 month salary slips, pf statement, tax forms for last 2 years, CA certificate, property papers to show ties to home country, and also attached my own NOA 2 years, salary slips 6 months, bank statements from here in Canada. mentioned in invite letter that I undertake responsibility to send her back at the end of her stay.
I am pr in canada, unmarried. My mother does not have travel history for US or canada. My sister works in the US on work visa. She has a Canadian visitor visa. My father expired earlier this year in India
Can anybody please advise what I was missing here and advise about the next application? What counts as significant family ties and what can I do to prove this? Also thinking about super visa, but the thing is my mother still has another 2-3 years before her retirement so how can the length of stay for 6+ months be worked out for the application ?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Have you explored the supervisa option? That may be more suited given your circumstances.
Can someone still apply on paper and submit at VFS instead of uploading documents?
These Refusals are getting to a point where they just don't seem to be interested in issuing the visas anymore to even genuine candidates. It's just so random. This application is as perfect as it can be. I mean what more can you provide. Your mother has a stable job to go back to and property back home. Isn't that enough?.
Yes even I am feeling that. I never imagined getting that just getting a visitor visa for my mother will be so difficult when I have myself been in Canada for 5 Years now and held a study permit, work permit and pr. Maybe I should have applied one when I was a student but even I was not sure if wanted to settle here at the time.
And the refusal reason is so weird, you have significant family ties in Canada, like why would my mother who has been working for 35+ years, is still employed at the same place, owns a house, and has lived there all her life, would want to visit Canada for a month (only) if I am not there? I am literally the one inviting her to visit me in the first place
Exactly! As you said, your father has passed away and your sister is in the US. Using her circumstances against her to deny the visa is so lame. None of it is her fault.
IRCC has become a money printing area for Canada. Rejecting files for no good reason, so people re-apply and spend more money. As I've said before, they seem to think people going and staying in Canada should cut off all ties from family members, and should never expect anyone to come visit families, friends, and relatives. Not everyone has the want or need to come and stay in Canada illegally. The country with the highest auto insurance, cellphone plans, internet charges, unaffordable housing, sky high rents, sky rocketing interest rates, the country that's going BACKWARDS from cashless transactions to cash again (when they allowed businesses to charge fees for credit card users), and so much more, the IRCC visa officers still think from their pesky little dud brains that the world wants to stay here.
Completely agree!You missed the broken healthcare mate. IRCC officers tend to think Canada as the perfect country where the whole world would want to move. They need a reality check in 2022. Why would someone with a Government Job in their home country, has enough money, likely in their sixties, with a better and affordable healthcare in their country, come to Canada and stay illegally. It's just not worth it.
You're right, healthcare and even finding alternatives for private medical care isn't easy, people go cross border to USA for all that, and don't forget getting a driver to drive you everywhere, maids come twice a day to clean, cook, laundry, iron, etc etc everything in India, why would someone want to leave all that behind and become maids in their own homes 24/7... Lives are much more royal outside of Canada for the most part. Unfortunately IRCC thinks way too much about themselves, directly from where the sun doesn't shine for them.
