My application was rejected with reason “You have significant family ties in Canada. “ I was first rejected saying I don’t have significant ties outside Canada . So in this application i addressed it so well effectively but the refusal reason saying “ your employment situation shows you’re not established “ which was a wrong decision cause it doesn’t related me ( probably officer didn’t even look at my documents but just rejected with any reason automatically ) So I wrote a reconsideration letter alerting them which they accepted then change the status to from refused to progress to review my application again then they came back telling me “ You have significant family ties in Canada “ ( bejing immigration branch ) . Remember the “your employment situation shows you’re not established “ was the reason they used to refused then I wrote a reconsideration letter then they claim to review again then made a new decision saying “You have significant family ties in Canada “ . I have two of my aunty as Canadian ( mum sister ) mum is deceased , his other sister is also deceased last year and my grandpa is also a Canadian but he left Canada years ago to relocate to Ghana to do his stuff . I’m the sponsor for my brother studies in Canada . Canada immigration didn’t even know my grandpa is Canadian , which was an information I disclosed in my USA interview so probably I feel bejing embassy don’t even anything to refuse me with then saw that information since they share data with USA then decided to use such as refusal . So now I need help to address this issue effectively cause even in this application I wrote all ties outside Canada which Ghana own is more strongest cause I have my dad , my sisters , my other brother , plots , investment with bank of Ghana and mutual funds / bonds with Ghana government but in China I’m just an international student and i submitted a total of 99,000 cad , showing the source of money , 40,000 cad from my aunty and the rest is my own money since my aunty is the one that gave me invite to visit . My visit is purely non immigrant and I have no interest in staying in another man’s country . My family in Ghana too is into politics with one as member of parliament . I ‘m building a real estate my self in Ghana which i did show evidence , showed evidence of all my investment and everything . It seems the officer failed to review it well again but have request for gcm note so this can be done and once fairly .


so can someone help me with what might be the issue
How old are you? So if you are single then you have no family ties in Ghana and that is an issue. Family ties if over 22 are spouse and children. Seems like you have a lot of family in Canada. So you lied and didn’t disclose a Canadian grandparent - lucky you didn’t get a ban for mkisreprentation. Why did you lie? Having family in politics is not relevant. Plus you don’t live in Ghana so don’t have family ties. Ties to return would be to China.

You also have no job and are a student so are not financially established. You live in China and that is an issue because you mention Ghana but don’t even live there.

Reapply when you resettle in Ghana.

Don’t see any error as you a) don‘t live in country of citizenship, b) don’t have a job and are financially established, c) showed all ties to Ghana but not even a resident, d) single so no family ties. I could go on.



I see no error in law so agree with the reconsideration refusal.

first of all I didn’t lie . Applying for a visa doesn’t mean I should tell you all deep ties of my family from root ( that will be a hell of a letter of purpose explaining every family member from mother side or dad side , that’s No and is privacy ) . About the ties yes China I use student as ties , bank of China bank statement . I have traveled to many other countries recently from China including France and Hong Kong by myself ( own money ). Financially have proved beyond everything including money worth 100,000 cad with showing of all source , come on not everyone need a work to be seen financially stable cause I have mutual funds , government bonds of Ghana , stocks and real
Estate I’m developing . Some people have work but their yearly pay estimate , they didn’t have any issue with financial just the “You have significant family ties in Canada. “ yes my ties to Canada might be strong I have no interest to stay on another person land permanently . I love my Country and prioritize it to the highest , I won’t be interested in work or anything in Canada just family visit . But thank you for your advise cause it seems me been in China which is not my country of citizenship is the issue for them and how I have family there in Canada ( this visit was an invite by a family ) . Isn’t ties broad cause that’s what i explained in previous visa explaining my ties to China and Ghana ( “you don’t have significant ties outside Canada “ in previous refusal ) which the officer even did a wrong decision then had to review then came up to give this refusal “You have significant family ties in Canada” . . I have requested for gcm note so let see what he detailed reason is .

How old are you? If over 22, you don’t have family ties to return to China or Ghana. Being single and not living in country of citizenship makes it very difficult to get approval.

Yes I’m above 22 . I’m 26 ( a material engineer ) and mastering in software engineer . I have my dad to look out for cause he is old, my sisters are in Ghana too plus two of my brothers . My career goals won’t even permit me to stay in another man’s land. I just miss family and wanted to visit them then return back to China to finish up with my thesis to become a software engineer too , I have spent almost 50,000 cad staying in China , school fees etc so hell no will I abandon all those investment just to move in Canada to struggle , be limited to my financial , property and working on my goals hell no .

Your dad being old is not a tie plus you don’t even live there. Same for siblings. If you miss your family then go to Ghana because that is your immediate and extended family. Aunts, uncles, grandparents to IRCC are not even extended family.

That’s a family ties of obligation or responsibility . I was invited by her cause she miss me after coming to our place 8 years ago for a month . This why Canada has become full of people who lied and populated by people who had no intention of of returning . So if aunt , uncles etc is not an immediate family , why did the officer have to refuse me saying “You have significant family ties in Canada” isn’t that absurd if that is not considered as immediate family.

The issue is you have no family ties at all being single.

But come on been single shouldn’t be an issue cause not everyone is interested in marriage to create a family or have children or not anyone can have a family so that shouldn’t be a problem . If you understand me well .

So yes me not married to have a family or children shouldn’t matter cause is my personal decision .i understand people my age is busy raising kids with wife but I’m hoping my travel bags is not flag above weight given , the cool uncle vibe . Not everyone is mentally and physically ready for marriage to start a family . Can’t bring children I ain’t ready for or marry an innocent lady I am not ready to be there for just because of a Canada temporary visa like HELL NO . So if officer says “ I have significant family ties to Canada “ that means he or she is using my family there which according to you too , you said that’s not a family but to the officer he is using that as significant family ties to Canada . So let see what gcm note comes out as . I will update here when I get it

Complain to IRCC this is an IRCC issue as this is their reasons for refusal. Get IRCC to change their operational procedures.

I will complain to make an a reasonable argument to their understanding once they give me what they meant about “ You have significant family ties in Canada.” Then make a respectful and understandable letter for them to reconsider and address effectively.

It is very obvious you have multiple family members who are Canadian. Although you may feel the refusal is unfair there are strong grounds for refusal so don’t think this will change in the near future.

Having multiple family members as Canadians shouldn’t have to do anything with me , I was born in Ghana which i’m proud of yes but you can’t just judge that I will remain in Canada cause I have families there like what the hell , I have my own life to deal with which Canada is not my priority even though a nice country but I love my country too . It just a visit to family / tourism purpose very temporary for 7 days sponsored by myself . Immigration law of Canada allows family reunion by immigration laws which if any immigration lawyer is here will back my motion , have had offers by lawyers to send this case to court to fight Beijing Canada embassy on this unfair decision but I don’t see it worth my time /money cause it just one country . If I’m desperate I can buy / invest in those island countries passport that give access to enter Canada but I don’t have any plans for Canada apart from visit . I already have more than enough life established as Engineer and business owner so I am
Not interested to move into a new country to start over . So you get my point , my visa itself says is for family visit so yes it was clear is for family from start of application .

I’m sure the Canadian IRCC officer isn’t going to change how they apply the rules on who gets a TRV just on the basis of a letter from a foreigner
And dictating on why it shouldn’t apply to you , won’t go over well

Once again for the millionth time . Foreigners are not entitled to a visa .

You could reach out to your MP, but wait , you don’t have an MP
