Dear UB,
Firstly i was avoiding to make contact with embassy but then I realised that this will stop me from travel and work. I wrote them on sunday and got the reply on monday, passport collection on tuesday “ today”. I feel that VFS plays very bizarre role in the whole process. Sent me wrong email and msg then call me to clarify the issue. But they briefed me very well at VFS today about the whole process. You need to write a handwritten request , sign it , scan and save in PDF format. Send it to those email you provide me or else i will send you if required.
Have you asked for the GCMS notes already? Did you get your visa ? I am on the same situation, what was your course of action ? Thanks in advance for your response.
Hi Seniors, I applied for my dad's trv in sep 2018 and on Oct 18th we received a letter stating trv refused on following grounds:
* purpose of visit
* not satisfied you will leave canada
* sufficient funds including income or assets.
*no documents to proof your/host income and assets.
It was a paper based application filed from Lahore Pakistan, vfs refused to take property documents which we wanted to show as an asset.
Please advise should we file it one more time if yes what kind of purpose they want us to show? we wanted him.to visit us for our wedding anniversary plus my daughter's birthday but seems like the purpose of visit they want is different.
Regarding my income I attached my canadian bank statement of $5000 and my dad had around $18000 cad in his bank.
What sort documents can we provide to get him approved, thank you.

How long did your dad want to visit?
Do post the list of documents that he submitted.
VFS Lahore has not been accepting such documents since the last couple of years. You may want to reapply online.
Do you plan to celebrate it? Bookings? Invited other guests?
Generally, anniversaries and birthdays are not considered as strong reasons to visit.
It depends on his personal and professional circumstances
Thanks for replying, wants to visit for a month.
Documents submitted:
1.cover letter
2.invitation letter
3.my job letter
4.bank statement
Yes I can reapply online this time, but need your advise in preparing his file.
We didnt invite other guests just our family, we thought if got approved then for sure will invite others too.
Regarding his income he owns agricultural land and gets money by leasing it.
Unfortunately VFS didnt accept any of such documnets.
Thanks once again, looking forward for your reply

1. Do post the list of documents for the new application (online submission)
2. I would not state the anniversary/birthday as the purpose of visit if it is a family reunion. Instead your dad can prepare a detailed day-by-day visit plan for sightseeing/spending time with you and your family.... with expense estimates. He must prove he has the finances to pay for this visit plan + airfare.
3. Can he prove he earned the money in his bank account? Any financial investments: Bank term deposits? Shares/stocks? Pension funds?
4. Tax returns?
5. Evidence that the agricultural land is leased and he earns an income from it? Renewal of the lease agreement? Again, does he pay taxes for this or is the income tax exempt? Is this income paid into his bank account?
6. Does he live with other dependent family members?
7. Does he own non-agriculture property? Any mortgage?
8. Does he have any personal or work commitments to return to after his visit?
Yes he can prove income that comes from lease, this income is tax exempted.
He has other property on his name which also can be showed.
My younger sister lives with him, shes a student and dependent on him.
Documents I'm planning to submit online
1. Invitation letter
2.cover letter
3.purpose of visit
4.lease agreement and ownership deed
5.other property documents
6.family registration certificate
7.booking of air ticket
8.bank statements
Let me know what else can we submit to get him approved this time, thank you

Hi All,
Any help would be appreciated.
My friend is working in Canada on a work permit. His spouse applied for a Visitor visa. Her application is refused on the grounds of Travel history, Family ties, Financial status and that she did not answer all the questions truthfully in her application. Basically, the officer thinks that she will not return to her home country at the end of her stay.
My friend is worried about what did she not answer truthfully. He got her GCMS notes and there are no details on that. Grounds of refusal say I am not satisfied you have answered truthfully all questions asked of you A16(1)(a).
What should he do?
Thank you
